Amazon Alexa and Sonos

I want to ask Alexa to play music through BOTH its own speaker and my Sonos speaker. It seems to only play through EITHER. Is there a way to play through both? The Sonos app doesn't seem to allow the Echo to be part of the group that the Sonos speaker is in.

Does anyone know if/when Alexa will be supported by SONOS? I've seen a lot of conversations about a public trial in 2017 but nothing specific about dates and official release. Can anyone confirm if this integration is actually going to happen?

I use an Echo Dot in the same room as a Sonos Play:5. Obviously I don't want the Dot to also play the radio sound coming through Sonos when the Sonos is on, but if I turn down the Dot's volume then that volume is too low when the Dot speaks. Is there a way to separately turn up the Dot's volume when she speaks, but turn the it's volume off when she isn't?

I’m currently using the sonos “line-in” auto play so that all audio from an Alexa dot is heard through the sonos. I was hoping to use the Alexa / Sonos integration and remove the audio cable. Is there a way to make sure all Alexa audio is sent to a particular sonos by default? For example, when I ask echo to play jeopardy I want it to be heard through sonos. Thanks!

How can I get Alexa to play a specific "station" from one of my services? Example would be asking Alexa to play "Easy Listening" on Stingray Music?

how do I get alexa to play sonos using spotify as I have no music in my library and that is where alexa is searching

Downloaded the Alexa android app, linked to Sonos account but won't find devices. The app wants to link to my Amazon.com account. I have an Amazon.co.uk account. Any suggestions?

When it was first mentioned last year that Sonos was going to team up with Amazon to allow Alexa your music, it was stated that it would be backwards compatible with existing Sonos speakers. This was also re-iterated when there was a sale of Sonos speakers earlier in the year. So could someone advise me on how I upgrade my existing speakers to understand Alexa's commands. Thanks

After the latest update, the volume on my play 5 has changed with my echo dot. It use to be too loud when the dot was turned up all the way, my line in was boosted to 10, and I was half way up on the sonos volume. Now the audio from the dot is noticeably quieter, and changes randomly, quieter, then back to set volume. Has anyone else had a similar issue here? Diagnostic 7926558 submitted.

I took the plunge to move Alexa out of the kitchen and into the living room - so purchased an additional Dot. I have playbar, 2x Play 3 and Sub setup in a 5.1 surround group. And a Connect that I was using with Record Deck. I've tried Echo Dot setup two ways. They both seem to have the same fatal flaw - namely that the TV sound does not restart when you stop music or in the case of using Sonos speakers to hear Alexa, every time you ask Alexa something. I've documented what I see the Pro/Cons are, both are quite unideal TBH - I wonder if anyone has some smart workarounds. Also bit disappointed Spotify isnt working "yet" although apparently promised. 1. Firstly standalone. Sound only comes from Echo Dot. Sonos connected via Alexa skills only. Pros - doesnt mess with Sonos as much. -you can ask Alexa to play "artist" in "room name on Sonos". Mute, pause etc all work well. Radio stations work well too. Cons

I like the alexa integration. There needs to be a way to associate Alexa devices and sonos devices in the Alexa app. The room name should only need to be specificed if you want to control the bedroom sonos from the living room.

Set up Play 1, enabled the skill. Of my 4 Echo devices it only works with Echo Show but not with Echo or Echo dot. Please help. Thanks

I'm excited about the release of the Sonos/Alexa integration. Thank you to the Sonos team for getting this out the door! Setting up the skill was a breeze and it seems to be working very well for me so far. Naturally, I already have some ideas for improvement... :-) I have an Echo device in each room where I also have one or more Sonos zones. For example: - Echo Dot bedroom - Sonos ZP80 bedroom (with a dedicated amp and speakers) - Echo Show kitchen (covers kitchen, dining area, and living area) - Sonos Play:5 kitchen - Sonos Play:1 pair dining area - Sonos Playbar (with sub and surrounds) living area - Echo Dot office - Sonos ZP80 office (with a dedicated amp and speakers) I think it would be great to be able to associate a given Echo device with one or more Sonos zones, so that Echo device would control those zones by default. I would still want the ability to control other S

Have paired Alexa with my Sonos system. All seems to work well but now constantly have the light ring on the Alexa slowly flashing green. Anyone else have this? Would like to stop it. Amazon says it could be an incoming call but I donbt have that.

Being able to control Sonos via voice commands is convenient but not being able to play from my local library does limit the usefulness. Is there any way to add my library to one of these services easily and cheaply [ie free]?

Set up Alexa to my Sonos living room successfully 2 days ago and everything was perfect that day. The next day, and each day since, Alexa says she is playing in the living room but nothing happens. I can play music manually through the Sonos app and Alexa will stop and start but if I ask her to play a playlist for example, she will lower the volume, say she is playing the playlist on living room but the music doesn’t change I’ve reset and unplugged everything but no success. Any ideas anyone ?

I have 3 rooms that I like to group together. I did this in the Alexa app and called them "Everything". If I say "Alexa play Tom Petty on Everything" it plays Amazon music great but if I say "Alexa play Tom Petty radio from Pandora on Everything" it only plays on the Echo and not the Sonos.

I have echo dots and echo show's sprinkled around my home. My Echo Dots / Echo Shows have names that are concise to make it easy to use Alexa commands like "Alexa, drop in on the Kitchen", or "Alexa, call the Master Bedroom". However, I also have similarly named Sonos Connect Amps tied to the built-in speakers in each room. For example, in Sonos, my Sonos Connect Amp that drives my master bedroom is simply called "Master Bedroom". I also have rooms that have in-ceiling speakers powered by a Sonos Connect amp that does not share the name of the Echo Dot/Show. "Dining Room" and "Piano Room" all have speakers/connect amp but no corresponding Echo Dot/Show. This has resulted in Amazon Alexa app recognizing the Sonos Connect Amps that have names that do not conflict with existing Echo Dot/Show devices. If there is a name conflict (e.g. Echo Dot named 'Master Bedroom' and Sonos Connect Amp named 'Master Bedroom') then the Sonos Connect Amp is no

I have been a Sonos user for only about a month. I had an Echo dot so used the line-in config. with Spotify. When the announcement came out on the 4th, I switched over to the networked Sonos set-up. I wanted to see if there is an audible difference between the D/A convertor in the Echo Dot versus the Play 5's D/A. I then found out that Spotify is not yet supported by Sonos, and the bit rate of Amazon Music is less than Spotify, so I could not compare Apples to Apples, or should I say Dot D/A versus Sonos Play 5 D/A. I'll have to wait for Spotify to compare. Does anybody have an opinion as to whether the same bit rate source sounds better through the networked Play 5 Gen 2 versus the line-in from the Echo Dot? After being an audiophile for many years, I worry about these things, although given that the source is ~300k MP3 files, I probably shouldn't. I also have a small FLAC library of my ripped CD's so that would be the best test I suppos

After integration with Sonos, Alexa responds to commands and plays music. However, she no longer talks to me. No more riddles, no more weather reports, not more "Sleep tight". Please help.

How can I join this beta please?

How do get the Alexa app to permanently forget a device. One echo is hardwired to the sonos connect amp but it keeps rediscovering it.

How can I make TuneIn the default music service? Somehow my Sonos system has decided that Amazon is the default and I’d like to make it TuneIn radio. Any ideas?

Looking at the voice commands for Alexa and Sonos, it doesn't appear that I can "Alexa, play in the living room".

I have multiple cases where I say "Play TuneIn in the Kitchen" the Echo confirms saying something like "getting last station played.... Playing Today FM in the Kitchen" and then nothing happens. Have other people had this?
