No it won't. You have to use a specific ap to use the phorus so there would be no way to get the two devices in sync.

Yes, it can stream just like your music would, assuming that you want it too. Like all Sonos components, you can play something different in each room or have them all on the same. So when the kids are watching a movie, the Sonos only plays that in their space and we listen to music in the kitchen. If we all are watching the same thing, then both the TV room and the kitchen have the movie sound.

I have this same question. I dislike that I have to have my television on to hear streaming music with my current setup. T. Steiner, Did you find any answers?

Yes. I am a YouTuber and use this and it sounds crystal clear. I also use this on a desktop, like you mentioned

yes it works fine, just a little comment, it not works for music streaming, only as a phone answer

I use it for that exact same reason. It works fine for me from about 20 feet away from the computer. I have the computer in my bedroom and the signal passes through one wall just fine. It was spotty at first but after installing the supplied "pairing software" it works like a charm.

We have the Audioengine connected to a Harman-Kardon HK 3390 audio receiver from wall mounted television. I would assume a computer would be the same....since we either listen to an iPad plug into the piece that connected to the Harman, or stream international music stations from the smart TV

I dont know about PC, I'm a Mac user. Windows Media Player is a DLNA player, so it should work. i play Pandora on my Sony TV, throufh my Sony Receiver STR-DN1030 and I "Party Stream" to my two SN-NS500 speakers. But I primarily use Airplay on my iPhone or iPad to each speaker individually as I move around the house, or I take one the speakers ourside by the pool or to wash the car.

Hello, I actually don't know how to explain this well, so I will try and give it a shot. All that I do is hook it up to my laptop, play music from ITunes or Spotify, and plug in the 2 Sony Speakers I have and it's like having music anywhere around the house. Does that help?

curious if you figured this out...i just remodeled my house and ran speaker wire in 3 different locations that I would like to control from one unit and have the ability to listen to 1 room, 2 or all 3

You have to use an empty station that has no music already playing on it. It is different for every zone. Look for one that has lots of white noise and in between occupied stations

Do you mean like having audio in the living room, and a separate amplified output in the kitchen? NO, it only has one zone. I have it installed at the TV room, where I've installed 8 speakers (2 front, 2 sides, 2 back, 1 central, 1 subwoofer). Some receivers may take the 2 back speakers for a second zone when playing 5.1 and lower audio streams, this one in particular doesn't have that feature.It does have a composite video out (Video + R/L Audio) where you can tap the low level audio stream and input it to an external amplifier, but you won't have control over the content, it will play the same audio as in the main room.

Good question! I was not sure if that would work, so I tested it. Yes, you can listen to two different devices at the same time. I plugged in my iPad and my computer and played a different video on each device. I did hear both devices.

Horribly, because it doesn't seem to stay on the network very well. I've had two now, the first sent back to ASUS because it wouldn't work, the second is now still not really working. The few times I did try to stream audio, it worked, somewhat but would stop playing at random. (or are you not asking how well, but 'what technique do you use?') To make it work, you use apple airplay as I recall, I didn't try it with a PC though. It just shows up on airplay if the settings are right in the web setup UI.

I have hooked a monitor up to my laptop to watch Netflix and have the above speakers connected to my laptop for the sound. In my office the sound is good and I listen to my iTunes as well. These certainly are not loud speakers nor meant for a large room.

I know it works well for music from TuneIn, YouTube, and Spotify. I can't tell about other apps.

Honestly, I don't think you will get the best quality sound running both at the same time, but it works great when only one audio source is playing at a time. I've never tried to two audio sources playing at the same time, but when it has happened, it's sounded fuzzy. You might need something built more toward music production that this.
