Amazon Alexa and Sonos

All of a sudden, Alexa has stopped working in India. I thought may be it’s an issue with my system. I did a full reset of my Sonos Arc and Sonos Roam and added Alexa voice assistant. While the basic functionality of Alexa is working (asking time, weather etc), it just won’t play any music. Here is a response I am getting when I ask Sonos Roam - Alexa, play some music.response: sorry to do that first enable the skill for your Sonos roam in the Alexa app, then ask me to discover devices. (Similar case with Sonos Arc)in Alexa app, there is no SONOS skill listed to enable. (See the screenshot included below) I have been using Sonos for the past three years. Didn’t have to go through this process of enabling skill while setting up Alexa back when I installed Sonos for the first time.  if worked like a charm right after enabling it from the Sonos app (I didn’t even have to install Alexa on my phone, let alone enabling the skill).  I don’t know

Hi,I have a Sonos Arc which I purchased in June 2024. I recently setup Alexa as my voice assistant and have had issues with it randomly disconnecting. The disconnection happens when I’m watching tv and when I’m not.  I came across some threads in the Sonos community which had the same issues and I tried all the diagnostics.  I ended up calling Sonos customer service and they also ran diagnostics with me and I am still having the same issue. The options I got were either I send my Arc in and have the technical team diagnose the problem and if no resolution is found they would send me a new one. The other option i was given was to purchase a new Sonos Arc Ultra.  This could be a three week long process and I would not have a sound bar to my disposal. Which is not a big issue but when you spend almost a thousand dollars on a sound bar you would want to use it.  The tech then asked me to disable my touch controls. And I asked t

I’ve got a Roam and a play 3. They group and work perfectly unless I add Alexa to the Roam. That stops them being able to be grouped. Removing Alexa means they can group again. Is this a thing anyone else has happen? Is there a solution so I can use Alexa? Thanks. ☺️

How do I set up Amazon voice on the ray speaker?

When I ask Alexa to play music (I stream with Apple Music), it will only play one song.  For example, if I ask to play classic rock, one song will play but not continue.  If I ask it to play music by one artist, it will start and play one song, but nothing more.  Anyone know how to fix this?

I’ve been using Sonos/Alexa for years without issue but it is now broken. I cannot set Sonos speakers as the speakers for a group/room in the Alexa app. The error message is Device not compatibleThis device is not compatible with the current selected devices.This particular Sonos device is a Sonos Amp and was connected fine before. I get the same error for other Alexa/Sonos rooms. I have tried disabling/reenabling the Sonos skill in Alexa. Also added/removed Alexa integration from within Sonos. How to fix? Thanks.   

No Voice Control working at Brazil anymore since app update. ALexa Skill not available at Brazilian Alexa Store anymore. Amazon has told me is a Sonos Issue. I can not use even Sonos Voice Control. Hours of chating and calling to Sonos.  

I have a Sonos one and a routine that plays music for 2 hours. At the end of 2 hours it just keeps playing. I have tried stop audio in  device settings but that does not work

Why can Alexa toggle night mode on but not off?Im trying to set up a scheduled routine so it till come on at 10pm and toggle off at 9am for my wife. Very frustrating given this is a premium product .

Hi,I have 2 sonos amps which are connected via ethernet to my router. They work fine. I downloaded the Alexa skill but it cant find Amp 1 or Amp 2.It does however find Amp 1 TV and amp 2 TV - not sure exactly what they are? I have disabled wifi on the amps as they are connected to my router via ethernet. Any ideas?ThanksAkhil

Alexa voice control disconnects from Sonos 1 and Beam on an almost daily basis. I have tried reconnecting from the app, resetting each speaker, changing names on Alexa app, but it still keeps happening. I have read there is a bug. Is there an update to stop this happening? Could it be that I have 4g internet connection which might not have constant IP address? 

Anyone else having problems getting Alexa to connect to Sonos arc. Seems to be a recent issue, Sonos app when going to add voice assistants just goes to a help page. Alexa app says arc is offline when it’s not. Can’t work out how to re authorise account as I have done previously 

This seems to be a recurring issue - Alexa refuses to stream music from any Music source (Global Player/BBC Sounds/Apple Music). When prompted, Alexa tries to play from either Global Player (Heart or RadioX), and BBC Sounds (Radio 1 etc). It often plays an intro, or says its playing from the above services, but then goes silent. This is on all of my Sonos devices that have Alexa, not just one device. Additionally, here are the steps taken so far:Remove & Reinstall BBC Sounds Skill from Alexa App Remove & Reinstall Global Player Skill from Alexa App Remove & Reinstall Apple Music Skill from Alexa App Re-sign into both BBC Sounds & Global Player using the newly installed Skills in the Alexa App. Remove and re-link accounts in the above from the Music Sources section of Sonos. Ensure all Sonos devices are up to date.  Reboot respective Sonos Device Asking Alexa on my weather respond

Hello Sonos CommunityI contacted Sonos again this morning to see whether the problem with voice control is now working. It is not.My issue is that I have an LTE Router via 3 Network.  My SONOS 1 (GEN 2) worked perfectly with Alexa for 2 years until the new Sonos software was launched last year.I tried everything with SONOS support back in the summer, even managing to get to 2nd level but all to no avail.Can anyone in the community shed any light on this problem please.  We used voice control all the time, it’s a pain to have to use your phone.  SONOS are supposed to working on a solution but 78 months on, no news.I wouldn’t mind using Sonos Voice Control - anything, but i believe it’s the same issue.I would love to hear any views or maybe even a workaround!Thanks :-)

I have a persistent issue with getting Alexa to play music from Spotify. Frequently, I will ask it to play music, and it will announce, “Now playing XYZ” and then there will be silence. This exact same thing kept happening on the Alexa devices themselves (dot, spot, etc), but it can be fixed by unplugging them and plugging them back in. For the Sonos devices, I cannot figure out a method of resetting it in the same way. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Spotify skill doesn’t appear to work, neither does turning the device off and back on again. Any ideas? 

I changed my wifi & reset to factory settings to get my machines to work & now I can’t use my Alexa settings. She just ignores me & stays quiet. What should I do next? 

How do I set up Alexa thru Sonos ERA 300?

Tengo una bocina era 300 y hace un mes Alexa funcionaba de maravilla pero estas últimas semanas Alexa no obedece a las órdenes que le doy. Por ejemplo si pido que ponga radio me responde pero no reproduce nada… si pido que ponga una canción en específico en alguna plataforma responde pero se queda sin reproducir nada… alguien tiene el mismo problema ? Moderator Edit - Translation by Google:I have a 300 speaker and a month ago Alexa was working wonderfully but in recent weeks Alexa has not obeyed the commands I give it. For example, if I ask to play the radio, it responds but doesn't play anything... if I ask it to play a specific song on a platform, it responds but doesn't play anything... does anyone have the same problem?

ich bediene meine Sonos One über Alexa. Wenn ich einen Song wähle, zum Beispiel über Apple Music, dann bestätigt sie mir den Namen des Songs und sagt „Song XY auf Apple Music…“ Dann kommt aber nichts. Woran kann das liegen? Ich habe vor kurzem mein WLAN Netz verändert.

There seems to be a new problem that was recently introduced where music is streamed on an Amazon Echo Show instead of on Sonos speakers when Alexa is asked to play music. Because of the ducking problem which lasted 12-15 seconds for all of my 10 Sonos devices, I was advised to create multiple Alexa groups and add specific echo devices to each group along with specific Sonos devices as speakers. This fixed the problem with the 12-15 second ducking occurring for all of my 10 Sonos devices and instead occurring for just the Sonos devices that are in the same group as Echo device that heard the command to play music. Everything worked pretty well until a new problem started occurring in the past couple of weeks. Now, the music I ask Alexa to stream is played on one of my Echo Shows and not on my Sonos speakers. I have not changed a thing. For each Alexa group I have one or more echo devices and one or more Sonos speakers.  How do I get the corr

After the upgrade of my Sonos One speakers to the newest firmware I have noticed that the Alexa Volume now is irrelevant from the Sonos actual volume. Even If I mute my Sonos One volume,  Alexa can still be heard from the speakers. In addition, when I change the volume of the speakers again Alexa volume does not change. Is something changed, or is this a bug?

As if the last Sonos update I can no longer use Alexa to play music on my Sonos products, which unfortunately encompass 100% of my music devices. I say “Alexa play xyz on family room” and Alexa responds, “playing xyz on family room… On family room appears to be offline”. This was never an issue before. Why now? 

Hello,I am trying to set up Amazon Alexa on my Sonos Era 100, but I am encountering an issue during the configuration process. When I try to link Alexa to my Sonos speaker, instead of being redirected to the Amazon login page as expected, I only see an informational message. I am unable to complete the login process and link my Amazon account to Sonos.
