Amazon Alexa and Sonos

HOW TO USE MY ITUNES LIBRARY WITH THE NEW SONOS ONE ALEXA - HELP :?

Please please are we any closer to a resolution to this...I can't even remove a room from Alexa app as it's immediately automatically rediscovered ???

According to online messages re the availability of alexa voice control for sonos one in Australia it was stated the app should be released in Autumn. We are now into the middle of autumn but still no alexa app for sonos.:@

I am curious to know if alexa on the play one is able to do drop in. If it is not then when would it possibly be available? Thanks

Using the same voice commands on an Echo Dot works great, it'll play Discover Weekly, or any of my created playlists from Spotify. However using the same commands on a Sonos One, it "cannot find the playlist". Trying a variety of commands: Alexa play Discovery Weekly Alexa play Discovery Weekly from Spotify Alexa play Discovery Weekly playlist All return the same error through the Sonos one. Anyone else experiencing this or have a solve?

We set up our new sonos with alexa a couple of months ago and she worked fine for about 2 weeks. Then voice services just completely stopped working. In the app, it looks like everything is still fine. So we disconnect Alexa and reconnect and it works fine. Again for about two weeks. This keeps happening over and over and it really frustrating. Any ideas?

I call them "Soundscape Skills" - like "Relaxing Nature Sounds", "Ambient Sounds: Cricket Sounds", "Rain Sounds", etc. There's hundreds of them. On my Sonos One, perhaps only one in ten works properly. If a Soundscape Skill doesn't work properly, the symptom is that I hear nothing at all. Evidence seems to point to the fact that Alexa thinks that the Soundscape is playing, but nothing whatsoever is audible at any volume level. I tried dozens upon dozens of these late last night, and only found a handful which worked properly. Alexa otherwise seems to be performing perfectly well. I am working with Sonos tech support on this, but since the diagnostic reports look absolutely fine, it's difficult for support to troubleshoot this problem. My question is, am I the only one with this symptomatology?

I just updated to the newest version for my 3 Sonos Ones. I have changed my default music service to Spotify. When asking Alexa (Sonos One) to play a song it will not respond the first time and just stays silent. Do it a second time and it plays right away. Has anyone else experienced this?

I've spent a few weeks trying to understand the capabilities of Sonos speakers - think I'm getting there. For a few years I've been using iMac/iTunes to Airplay music to 3 speakers around the house, but the arrival of an Echo dot and having signed up to Prime music (limited package) means I want to make more of this. Please could someone help to clarify my thoughts, concerns and fears... 1) Looking to buy 3 Sonos Ones & Playbase. (Likely the Echo Dot will be redundant, but feel it's worth buying the more recent 'Ones' than Play 1s.) 2) It sounds like I can still stream my iTunes library/ Playlists via the Sonos App. Presumably I could also control this from my iPhone/iPad as long as the Mac remains switched on? 3) Sounds like Airplay 2 is also on the way (including Playbase?). Not sure how this would necessarily improve things, although I've read about failings in the Sonos App when it comes to functionality but don't know what. Presumably I can still play songs, add a queue of so

I noticed about a month ago that my Sonos One, my bathroom started ducking (lowering volume for a command), much longer than was necessary. There are two main scenarios that I use Alexa with the Sonos One. In the first, I am just asking for weather or some short snippet of information. In this case, even if the Sonos One is in "listening" mode, it doesn't matter because I already received the weather report and and I've walked away. However, the second use case is much more annoying. If I ask Alexa to play a podcast or music, it starts playing immediately, but the volume is very reduced because the Sonos One is still waiting for a command. This lasts about 10 seconds, which means I miss the first part of my song or podcast. I know there are a lot of discussions about whole house ducking which I hadn't even thought about and doesn't currently bother me since we are rarely listening to whole house music. I am more upset about the experience on the Sonos One I am using.

I just returned my full Sonos system (10 speakers) because of Audible was not available.

Hi folks, sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere but I’m thinking about buying a Sonos One and am interested in finding out more about how it will integrate with an existing Echo Spot. For example, I currently set an alarm in the morning via the TuneIn skill on the Echo Spot, so I get woken up to the radio and it plays through the Echo Spot. If I want to play the radio through my current Sonos PLAY:1, then I have to stop the radio playing through the Echo Spot and then tell Alexa to play the radio (“Alexa play Radio 2 in the bedroom”). If I get a Sonos One then is it possible to do the same thing through the Sonos, or would I have to keep doing it through the Spot and have the radio playing through the Spot? Also I’m wondering if there’s any issue with commands, i.e. currently if I say “Alexa play some Bruce Springsteen in the kitchen” then it will shuffle songs on the Sonos PLAY:1 in the kitchen. What happens if I have a Sonos One in the same room as the Echo Spot n

When I set up my two speaker, Alexa recognized the devices as "...Sonos One" and "...2nd Sonos One". When I created my stereo pair (which dramatically improved the sound quality BTW), Alexa created a device for the pair called "Master Bedroom." Should I leave this as-is in my Alexa settings; or should I delete the Sonos One and 2nd Sonos One devices, leaving only the "Master Bedroom" paired device?

Can you link a stand alone Sonos play 3 to Amazon Alexa?

I cannot work out how to link all these devices so i can control Spotify with my voice using my Sonos One, does anyone have simple instructions on how to do this?

My wife and I have two separate Spotify accounts. Our Sonos apps have our own Spotify account on our own phones. We each have Alexa on our phones. We tend to control our Sonos with Alexa. Alexa will only play using my Spotify account - if I'm driving I can't listen to Spotify if the family are listening on Sonos even though my wife is there with her phone and account. How can I make Alexa/Sonos choose the Spotify account of the phone that's connected to the sage WiFi Is there anyway round this?

Hi there I have two Sonos One, they are set up to my home WiFi and connected to Amazon Alexa and Spotify. The Spotify is lnked to the account, which is also Premium. It works when i play music via through the app, however, it doesnt recognise that spotify is linked when ask Alexa to play spotify music. What can I do to resolve this, as everything that i believe needs to be done to link Spotify, Sonos and Alexa has been done.

My set-up of sonos one and alexa sonos skill is fine. However, I found my flash briefing on sonos one only plays the first source on my media list (NPR in my case, never get a chance to move down to BBC news, and so on). I checked my alexa app, the location and time zone setting are correct for device "sonos one", but for my "phantom room"--bathroom, those fields are blank, and I was unable to change those fields on alexa app and alexa website. Called Echo customer service and they said I should contact sonos to resolve this issue. Can anyone help me with this?

2 Questions - same issue> Language and restricted use of Countries: I have 1 Alexa account (in UK) and I have 2x different Sonos accounts (1 in Germany and 1 in Switzerland) I want to use both (2) Sonos accounts in my 1x Alexa account - how can I set that up on the Alexa App? and that it works on Sonos One etc. in both Countries? and As Alexa & Sonos voice services are only available in a few Countries and not in Switzerland nor the wider European Union area - how can we or who do we ask/pressure Amazon/Alexa/Sonos so that they enable at the minimum English voice service within Switzerland and the wider EU region. Why can't Amazon/Alexa/Sonos allow for all a minimum English to be available Globally?

Suddenly, and for no particular reason, my Sonos 1 stopped responding to an Alexa command and yes, I have renoot3d, disabled enabled, checked both apps....etc etc....noth8ng has changed...no internet change no interruption, etc....I read and dine everything suggested all to no avail.Help please

Ok I know that there are other threads already talking about this issue however I thought I would share my experience and testing. What I want to happen: I want to connect my Echo Dot to my Sonos CONNECT:AMP in the kitchen and be able to instruct and hear Alexa over the speakers connected. I also want the ability to control my other Sonos products in other rooms using the Echo Dot in the kitchen. What actually happens: If the Echo Dot is connected via line-in to the CONNECT:AMP, whilst it will play music without an issue, when asking Alexa to do something else like tell you the weather forecast, Alexa is almost inaudible. If I disconnect the line-in, I then have to stipulate that I want the music to be played in the kitchen or it will begin playing the music out of it's own speaker. Any other type of instruction such as weather forecast will then always be heard from the Echo Dot speaker and not the speakers connected to the CONNECT:AMP. What I tested: I connected the Ec

Saw the support list on: https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/5/16431688/sonos-speaker-alexa-voice-commands-how-to-setup ... Any chance Apple Music via Echo coming any time soon?

I bought a pair of Sonos One speakers. I set them up with Alexa and everything worked flawlessly for two days. This morning they were working great... but when I got home from work, the Alexa integration for playing music was wonky (all other Alexa commands were fine). Alexa would acknowledge commands, but not act on them. If I can get it to play music at all, I can't pause or skip tracks via Alexa. I've done the whole routine of disabling/enabling Alexa skills... logging out/logging into accounts... removing/adding devices... removing/adding services... and nothing works no matter how many times I try. Then, as I was running everything yet again with Sonos Twitter support, I finally got music commands to work for playing music and even pausing ... but when I told Alexa to resume, the command was not going to Sonos... it was going to my Harmony Hub which controls my television. At first I thought the problem had to do with Amazon Music Unlimited thinking it was already streaming som

I have an Echo dot ported to powered speakers and a Sonos One in the kitchen. When asking Alexa on the Dot to play something it tells me Amazon Music is already playing in the kitchen and I need to set up multiroom music in Alexa, meaning the voice assistant obviously "sees" the Sonos One. How do I do get that multiroom setup going in Alexa?

I have 4 Sonos Ones in my house, all set up at the same time and with the same access to my Amazon Prime music. However one of the units will only play a single album when you ask Alexa to "play music". If you ask her to play any other artist or album she cant find it. If I go via the Sonos control app i can access all my music and it will play no problem. This appears to be purely an Alexa glitch and i cant seem to solve it. Any suggestions on how to reset Alexa?
