Connect a Sonos or HEOS receiver
Connect through the Sonos route and check the settings that matter.
Before connecting
The current Sonos and HEOS routes use compatible UPnP services. Configure the device in its own app first. If your receiver appears under AirPlay, you can use the separate AirPlay guide instead.
- Connect the receiver and Android phone to the same reachable Wi-Fi network.
- Open Settings → Receiver types → Sonos and make sure the type is enabled. For HEOS, open the HEOS entry instead of Sonos. Choose WAV or LPCM according to what the particular receiver supports, then reconnect.
- Return to Receivers, tap Scan again and select the device’s matching route.
- Approve the Android audio and sharing prompts. Start eligible source music, then confirm sound on the receiver.
- Adjust speaker volume on the receiver row if a slider is available. Disconnect from that same row before changing output.
Compatibility check
Proprietary Sonos/HEOS grouping is not implemented. Some models require MP3, which this output path does not encode. A brand name alone is not a guarantee of a usable endpoint.
If it appears in discovery but cannot play, that is not proof that a driver is missing. Confirm the receiver’s advertised service, accepted format and firmware with its manufacturer. See Receiver compatibility.
