Amazon Alexa and Sonos

If I am playing music using Pandora, then ask Alexa to add something to a Shopping List, the music stops but never resumes. I have to then ask Alexa to start music again. Seems like music should simply get quieter as I'm talking to Alexa, and then resume previous volume after command is executed.

Hi I have a black and a white sonos and have now purchased 2 echo dot - but I am wondering how do I get the music from the echo to play through the speakers of my sonos - do I need another lead or is it done via the Alexa app? thanks

Is the Windows App capable of setting up a new Sonos One?

Does anybody know if free calling feature is supported in new Sonos One with built-in Alexa?

I received an email from Sonos today about a promo code for Alexa Echo Dot $25 off. Code isn't working...anybody else having that problem?

Hey guys does anyone have a spare discount code for the echo dot they could send me ? been in hospital all week quite unwell but I heard about the offer and emailed them three days ago to ask for a code they finally replied today to say it’s too late they can’t issue any more coats although they can be used by the 29th if anyone has a spare code I would be really grateful if they could PM me. thanks in anticipation

I bought two sonos ones to act as surrounds with my playbar in my living room. Besides a few small problems everything seemed to be working fine. Now the sonos ones will NOT execute music commands. When I ask Alexa to play a song, it acts like it is going to work and says that it is now playing in the living room but nothing happens. I have tried everything that I know to try and fix the issue. I have removed everything and readded everything again. I even changed the groups name thinking there may be a naming conflict. It is now named TV Room, but that didn't work either. Everything else works as far as Alexa goes, just NO MUSIC. This is really frustrating. Does anybody have any suggestions for me?

Hello. I bought 2 sonos one speakers in belgium. However, i live in the UK and when i brought them to the UK, it seems they do not work with Alexa. The message i get from the Sonos app is : not available in your country. it's a bit of a bummer, is there a way to let the speakers now that they are actually in the UK and that Alexa voice service is available here?

I enabled Alexa skill, found my sonos device, Amazon is appearing in settings on Alexa. When I command her to play something she starts and then tells me it's offline. How do I fix this?

Hello forum vets, Yesterday I received, set up, and connected my Play:1 and 5 to my Amazon Echo and Sonos Alexa Skill. It works fine to control music commands to the Sonos (Alexa, skip X, play in Y room, etc.). However, I've been searching this and Amazon's forums for an answer/guidance to the following: Can I have music play from BOTH my Sonos speakers AND the Echo? I have a full-size echo which has a decent speaker in it, as well. I'd like to include it in my surround sound/whole home speaker experience. I understand it's not a speaker I could control through the Sonos app, but is there a way to "tether" it to one of the Sonos speakers/include it in a music playing device cluster via the Alexa app? Thanks in advance.

I'm experiencing a frustrating aspect of Alexa and Sonos integration whereby I have a number of speaker groups and using Alexa mutes all groups. So for instance last night I was upstairs listening to music on a single PLAY:1 (playback initiated via the Sonos app), and downstairs my children were getting homework help from Alexa in the kitchen. Each time they summoned Alexa playback upstairs was muted. Is this normal? Is there a setting to stop Alexa muting Sonos playback?

Just read an article of Sonos users getting a coupon for amazon DOT - I own 5 Sonos products and would love to try

Hi having got my Sonos ONE yesterday I have to say that I am very disappointed with lack of integration with Alexa and Sonos. I would simply like to know what the time frame is for pretty basic features that I would of expect to be included from day one. 1) Spotify, I know see the website had been updated to make it clear voice commands cant start Spotify and is being worked on, I would have expected this day one but what time frame are we looking at for this feature? 2) being able to group Sonos speakers with the group feature in Alexa app. Again a feature I would expect day one and yes I know I can group and ungroup manually in the Sonos apps, but whats the point when you pat for an integrated voice system? 3) News roundups These are my top three issues I have found. I love my Sonos in terms of sound quality and playing music in multi-rooms through the app,( the grouping has always been an issue by not allowin

I have a Playbar and a MacMini. I was wondering if I could attach a Dot to the MacMini via USB and ask Alexa to play items from iTunes. Any advise on this please?

Hi there, so when I ask Alexa a question and she gets confused the sound stays muted on my tv setup with playbar, can’t get any command I say to Alexa to get sound back on, the only way to restore sound is to unplug her and then plug back in, this can’t be right any ideas, many thanks in advance.

I have just set up a wired connection from my dot to my Sonos 5. I can now control the volume, music choice but I can’t hear Alexa.. she is picking up what I say but I can’t hear the response. Am I doing something wrong?

Am I right in thinking that if I have the Amazon Echo Plan which I use with the echo dot, that it will play through my Sonos?

I can't get the Songs One to play amazon music (all other amazon devices play it fine) - I've gone through the routine several times - reinstall, reset etc. Every time Sonos One tells me that I could sign up for a trial account of amazon unlimited ( I already subscribe) - so finally I said yes and it's working - I have no idea who Sonos One or Amazon... thinks I am..

Excited to receive notification that I can now play Sonos from Alexa. After updating Sonos and Adding the skill to Alexa - Alexa 'can not find any music in My Music Library' I have also linked my Speakers with are all PLAY3. What have I missed

i have a trail for amazon music unlimited and sat night it was working fine, sunday morning i asked alexa to play radio and she replied here is something you might like but no music or radio playing. also asked for various artist and tracks and still no music playing.. anybody know why this is happening on a new sonos one. if their is a remedy please reply with full discription of how its done please absolute newbie to all this. its driving me mad, although music is working fine from other devices, just amazon unlimited music, but it was working, my subscription doesnt finish until 27nov..

My new Sonos one is exactly where my dot used to sit. The Sonos doesn’t hear my calls as well as the dot did and the chime volume is low. I’ve looked for adjustments but haven’t seen any. What can we do to adjust sensitivity?

Alexa app - Your Voice setup - cannot select devices. They show as online (both as the '5.1' group and the two Sonos Ones individually) but they are greyed out and I cannot select the device to continue the process. Anybody run into this and solve it?

I have successfully (I think) paired the echo dot with Sonos - added the skill and Sonos appears in list of devices. However when I try to play via Alex nothing happens - example if I say "alexa play tunein on bedroom" - alex repeats the command but no sound comes out. Apologies if this is already asked but does anyone have any advice or troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue ?

I know on my Dots if I'm playing music or a Tune-in station and have a timer set, the timer will sound even if the music is still on. I'm just being sure this will work on the Sonos One if I have something playing direct from the Sonos app, say music from my NAS? Also wondering if I have the same level of control over the volume of timers and alarms as I do with a regular Dot, such as separate volume control for them? Thanks for reading.
