Amazon Alexa and Sonos

Problem: My Sonos One has recently stopped playing music from Spotify. Details: It is connected to the internet as it can tell me the time. It is connected to my Spotify account as it will say eg "playing coffee table jazz on shuffle" when I test it with "play some jazz" but that's followed up my silence. It must be a problem on the Sonos end as my Amazon Dots still play the music fine. What I've done: Updated software on both my phone apps and Sonos One. Uninstalled all the apps and reinstalled. On my Phone De registered and re registered my sonos one in ALEXA APP Factory reset and re set up my sonos one - The speaker itself (these steps were mostly guided by me trouble shooting via google and this site) And I'm still back to where I started. Everything works except actually playing the music itself. Can anyone advise as I've run out of ideas. Thanks

I posted a reply on another thread for the same problem but nobody has replied with anything to help. To copy the text - I bought a Sonos one to replace an Echo as I loved the Alexa functionality in the kitchen but wanted better audio quality. The speaker is amazing but Alexa is terrible. I also find myself shouting at it to respond. I have the old Echo in another room and quite often that answers me when the Sonos One is still ignoring me. I've also noticed that quite a lot of the Alexa skills don't work on the Sonos One - for example "play radio X" won't launch the radio x skill. On the whole I am really pleased with the sound quality but Alexa is a big let down. While I'm having a moan - the noise it makes when it finally does respond is horrible 😃 Here's hoping this is software.... Can anything be done to improve my Sonos One? I read a comment that it should be just as sensitive as the Amazon Echo, and it is nowhere near that good. Does that mean my Sonos is fau

the sonos beam with alexa can replace amazon echo? to know news, shopping list, turn on the lights, turn on air conditioners etc ...

I set up my speaker 6 days ago and the microphone or alexa has stopped responding. I have unplugged it but no change. The only buttons that seem to work are the volume buttons. All worked perfectly until now.

Updated Sonos to latest version. now need to bring volume to 70% to get reasonable volume.

First let me say I have been a sonos user and supporter since my first system in 2006. I originally started with on amped box and then got another. I used these over 10 years without fail. I have allot of home automation in my house and waited patiently for sonos to get alexa support. I went out and immediately purchased the sonos one on release day and couldn't wait to use my existing alexa's. Then disappointment settled in quickly. Not only was the alexa integration not what I expected the ONE was beyond disappointing. We replaced the alexa in our bedroom with the one. After trying and multiple removed/re-add the entire ONE to get it working time and time again, the wife said it's got to go. So with great disappointment I went to the store to return my one. I grabbed a play 1 for $50 less and figured we will just go back to using our phone. Then I heard about the google home integration with a google cast in the input of my amps. So yesterday I purchased two google mini's and to

I bought my sonos ONE in NYC. Any chance to make them work with Alexa within few months in Italiano? One more question: why you do not allow to work in the currenty working languages indipendently the place and the Language you setup initially the APP? regards

Will I be able to ask an Apple HomePod to play music from Apple Music? I am considering changing from Apple Music to Spotify so I can use Alexa to play music on my Sonos system but would like to know if it is worth waiting for the HomePod?

HI everyone Can i play music via the sonos app on all of my amazon echos at once? Multi group music

This is pretty cool. Wonder if it will be supported by Sonos One/Beam? https://www.androidcentral.com/what-amazon-alexa-guard

Hello Alexa has stopped changing radio stations. ‘She’ is listening, because I can ask all sorts of things and I receive the appropriate response. The radio station that I want to change to is announced, but nothing changes. Many thanks.

Hi everyone, so basically my question is whether there are any hue lights that can sync up with the standard sonos play 1 speaker. I've heard that Phillips hue lights don't have any built in functionality with sonos but there are third party programs that can allow you to do this? I'm running with windows and an android phone, cheers for any help

Alexa will no longer start playing radio, Spotify or audible via my Sonos beam. It responds e.g. "BBC radio 4 from TuneIn" but then nothing plays. I've also contacted Amazon in case it's their problem. Diagnostic report: 1233412052

Has anyone processed a return in the UK, I've filled out the form twice this week http://www.sonos.com/en-gb/mbg Each time I fill the form out I get an email from Tech Support saying they will call within 24 hrs, which doesn't happen,, we're meant to get a returns label ?!

When will drop in be enabled on the Sonos? I am changing my speakers out in my house... I would not have transitioned to Alexa or Sonos if I knew this was not an option. I still have a lot of speakers to replace but do not want to move forward. Is this something Sonos is considering or do I need to find another solution?

When I ask Alexa to play a song, her response is that my "Amazon Marketplace settings are not properly configured for this device" (a Sonos One). Alexa works in all other respects. I've checked everyone on Amazon's end, and I can't see where the problem is. Here's some facts to consider. 1. We are US expats in London. We have 2 Amazon accounts, and I've made certain that the Amazon Music Unlimited account is tied to the UK account, and that the Amazon music services in Sonos are also tied to the UK account. Same thing for Alexa. 2. I wonder if the issue in any way related to the fact that my Sonos app comes from the US Google Play store, and not a UK-based Google Play account? Anyone else have the same problem when you ask Alexa to play a specific song?

What am I doing (or saying) wrong? Set-up: I have a SONOS Beam, linked to my Apple TV Box via the Optical Adapter HDMI ARC Cable. The idea being, when I'm watching normal TV I use the TV speakers and when I watch a film via Apple TV, I get my sound through my SONOS Beam. This works great!! However, when I simply want to listen to music, whether it be Radio or a playlist,.. etc. I say: "Alexa, Play Radio 2". Alexa suggest she's found the station via TuneIn (or a playlist through Amazon Music) BUT doesn't play anything. I've checked the volume by playing something manually via my SONOS App on my phone. NOTE: The Apple TV box is off. Any advice appreciated, thanks.

I am signed in to Amazon music, pandora, Spotify premium, and iHeartRadio. However, when I ask alexa to play a station, song, artist, or playlist she only plays one song before an error occurs and stops playback. Any ideas how to fix this?

I recently purchased a Sonos One and love it. However the Alexa chime keeps going off randomly even though the wake word was never said. Sometimes the chime just happens and sometimes Alexa says something like I didn’t understand that or something along those lines. It is no where near my tv and I never have the volume loud at all so I don’t know what it is hearing that it thinks is the wake word.

Does my Sonos One support the drop in option that my echo dot has?

My Sonos Beam would not play any music service through Alexa. It would say, “Sorry, that device is offline”. Read a lot of posts but nothing worked for me. Finally, I renamed the room from “Living Room” to “TV Room”. I then deregistered the device from the Alexa App, removed voice service from the Sonos App, and then reset up Alexa with the Sonos App. And amazingly everything started working again. I hope this works for anybody that is having the same problem because it was a frustrating process.

here is the diagnostic submission number 849123660 I'm based in London. I have apple music and amazon prime I've tried to ask alexa to play some musc or tell alexa to ask sonos to play some music and both of those commands does not work. I've tried factory resetting, forgetting all the devices and disable enable sonos skills my account address in sonos is UK I put the address of my device in alexa to UK as well. Playing amazon music or apple music from sonos app is working just fine. I read many posts regarding this matter on this forum, and it seems like a common issue but I couldn't find a solution that works for me on those posts. This is really frustrating. It would be nice to get some help to figure this out.

Any reason why Alexa's mic keeps turning off? This is the third time it has happened. I can't tell if it is in response to a power outage or not, but no one can touch the top panel where she sits. If it is because of losing power, shouldn't it default to on when power is restored?

I'm currently having an issue with Amazon Alexa with Sonos whereby I need to tell Alexa twice to "listen to the news" in order for Alexa to play flash briefing on my Sonos One. Telling Alexa once will not play flash briefing

When can we expect the availability of Alexa in sonos one in India
