wyred4sound Sonos Port - garbled noise

Hi Everybody - anyone having issues with their w4s modded Sonos Port?  Mine has started garbling/distortion at anything but the lowest volumes.  I'm guessing a recent sonos software update may have triggered it.


I've had it for a few years now, so no complaints - but wondering if anyone else is noticing the same thing, or its just my unit.

Is it doing it both on wifi and wired?   I had a regular ZP 90 network wifi card die but wired portion still works fine.  Got a old ZP90 with W4S mode still going strong after all these years.  

Also you could open a case with Sonos and see if they can run a trace.  Wont be able to help you with it of course but might be able to identify the issue.

I just fired up my old W4S ZP90 Roon endpoint and it still working.

 

I talked to W4S and they said they still do the mods on the old ZP90s.  YOu can pick those things up used for nearly nothing on used market.  Make great Roon endpoints especially with the W4S mod.  Only knock is the unecessary DSP as Roon downsamples the stream cause it thinks thats what the ZP wants then ZP takes it back up to 96 if thats the mod you have.
