Strange that you get dropouts....
Do you get dropouts with a beosound?
Too long to list....
Don't know if this pertains to you, but could. Interesting, nonetheless. From the manual.
The loudspeaker is set to Option
number 0 from the factory. Therefore,
when you connect the loudspeaker to a
Bang & Olufsen audio or video system, it
is not necessary to change the Option
setting. In this case, the loudspeakers
are controlled via the Bang & Olufsen
system.
However, when the loudspeaker is
connected to a non-Bang & Olufsen
system, you must change the Option
setting. In this case, the Beo4 remote
control signals are received and
processed by the loudspeakers. Two
different Option settings are available
– which to use depends on your setup.
If the LINE output level of your non-Bang &
Olufsen system exceeds 2 V RMS, you must set
the loudspeakers to accommodate a higher
input level (> 2 V RMS 4 V RMS).
Option 1: Used if connected to a non-Bang &
Olufsen system. You may have a Bang & Olufsen
television in the same room, if you wish.
Option 4: Used if connected to a non-Bang &
Olufsen system – and you have an extra Bang &
Olufsen audio system in the same room.
A Beo4 remote control is used to change the
‘Option’ and the LINE input level setting.
To change the Option setting:
> While holding down the • button, press LIST.
> Let go of both buttons.
> Press LIST repeatedly until OPTION? is shown in
the Beo4 display.
> Press the centre button.
> Press LIST repeatedly until L.OPT is shown in the
Beo4 display.
> Key in the appropriate Option number (0, 1 or 4).
The indicator light switches off briefly, confirming
that the new Option number has been stored.
To ensure that all loudspeakers are programmed to
the correct number, repeat the procedure for each
loudspeaker separately.
To change the LINE input level setting:
> Press LIST repeatedly until SOUND* is shown in
> Key in the appropriate LINE input level number
(1 if LINE input level < 2 V RMS; 2 if LINE input
level > 2 V RMS ≤ 4 V RMS).
that the new LINE input level has been stored.
To ensure that all loudspeakers are set to the same
LINE input level, repeat the procedure for each
loudspeaker separately
I assume the sonos zp90 plays music from a source with a wireless/wi-fi connection?
Most likely the problem for dropouts is in your wifi, the sonos or the device that stores your music.
Try a wired connection between the music source, the wifi and the sonos, the problem should disappear. Is the software up to date?
There is a very small chance that the problem could lie in a bad cable between sonos and beolab 5 or the daisy chain but that is unlikely to give these symptoms. since this is a digital connection as you say, they usually work (=sound) or don't (no sound at all), not intermittent.
I guess you have them in the right option as otherwise they most likely wouldn't work at all, as they only listen to the digital input if the source is "CD"?
