Depending on your setup, "Line-IN" and if the sound has a lag, change the input.

My understanding; when I was shopping for small network speakers a couple of years ago that SONOS do not support DLNA properly. They have their own ecosystem like Apple does. That is why I went with a pair of Yamaha WX-010s which do DLNA (rebranded as MusicCast), Airplay, BT. Unless that has change in the last couple of years?

I just double checked my Sonos...since they have come out with an updated system and new speakers (I have both new and old).   

Sonos does play some music formats, like MP3 just fine from MC.   But it does not accept some high res formats.   

I haven't fiddled with any audio conversions, but I'm guessing you can down convert audio files that Sonos doesn't like.

HI,
I manged to use line-in on a sonos 5 speaker to accept out put from Media Center.
You have to setip line in from Sonos piont of view with android controller.
Once configured you can the use Line in as a source on sonos from your computer.
You can use all groupings and stereo pairs.
Works perfeclly you decide what you want in jriver and play. Then in sonos you select line-in and play.

It even works from remote desktop (Windows)
