Amazon Alexa and Sonos

Hi Guys ..Received my Arc Ultra...Was struggling to connect my Amazon Assit to it ..Solution was remove Amazon Shopping App from phone...Then follow instructions ...Connected straight away ...Hope it helps 

Recently, Beam will not play live radio stations unless I use the controls on the device or press play on app with phone. This is new- for years I’ve been asking Alexa to play a live npr station (usually defaults to Tunein or Iheart). Now, Alexa confirms my prompt and says “playing…” but then nothing happens. Also- this is *not* happening on my older Sonos One- still works as usual. I tried removing Alexa, re-installing it, all apps are up to date, re-booting. Help! Any suggestions would be appreciated! 

I use a number of Alexa speakers around the house and have speaker groups set up. Alexa doesn’t have a portable device so I bought the Sonos Roam but It can’t be added to a speaker group like the everywhere group. Does anybody have a way to get this going perhaps a work around? 

Hi there!I am getting really frustrated with trying to install Alexa on my new Era 300. I have tried several times, factory reseting speaker but still - at first there is only one option to add vooce assistent - Sonos voice assistent. When I succesfully add it, then click on add voice assistent it just gives me the option to use third part smart device to control Sonos speaker (which I do not want - I want to install and use Alexa on Era 300), and leads me to quick help manual. No other options at all. Also in the Amazon Alexa app - there is no Sonos skill, for that matter anyways?!i have tried to reinstall both apps (Sonos and Amazon Alexa app) with no luck. please help!

Hi all, I added a new ROAM 2 to my system last week and cant use Alexa voice control. I can use the sonos voice control, however  when I try and add Amazon Alexa I get the signing into Amazon then repeatedly get try again at he bottom of the app! My Beam, and the 4 other SONOS speaker work fine with alexa. Any ideas ?

Has anyone found a fix to sign in to Amazon to add Alexa? I know this was asked 6 months ago but wondered if there has been any update? As everyone else was saying, get all the way to sign into Amazon then it fails.....

How can be it that you still can’t add Alexa if you happen to use the Amazon shopping app (literally one of the most installed apps in the world)? I understand Sonos software is awful, and I try to set expectations very low, but it’s been over 6 months. Have they just completely given up on even trying to make anything work?

Will there be alexa support in india for sonos speakers ? In future ?

Been trying for days now done all what people say to do reboot the beam reboot the router uninstall Sonos app and reinstall it same as Alexa app and I still can't get Alexa to work on my Sonos beam 

Hi.Just got an Era 300. Sounds great. Enabled Sonos Voice and Alexa from the iOS app.  Have enabled Apple Music as I have a subscription. Alexa confirms it is linked to my Amazon account. There’s only 1 in this household. It respons with correct info re time, date etc. However, I can’t play anything on the Era 300 with Alexa.It gives a message asking me to enable the Sonos skill in the Alexa app and then run device discovery.Have tried both. Including disabling then renabling. I have a Sonos Roam and this works fine on there. Including playing from other sources, Global Player, BBC etc. Anything else I can try? Did search forums but not seen a clear resolution. TY.

Hello. It seems like many on here, for some years I’ve been been happily playing Amazon Music on my 2 Sonos Ones and Era100. I could ask it to play a playlist, and it would continuously play till I asked it to stop. About 2-3 weeks ago it started playing a playlist but then stopped after the first track. Soon after that it stopped playing any music requested by Alexa. I can still request Alexa to do other things e.g. weather forecast, set thermostat, lights etc but as for music, nada.I’ve tried some of the useful advice I’ve found on here, e.g. re-authorizing Sonos to play Music etc, but am a bit nervous about wiping out the few features I still have if I de-install everything. At the moment it feels a bit like I have one expensive Bluetooth speaker and 2 paper weights! Any advice (preferably at idiot level!) would be much appreciated.Regards Steve

Seit ich meine neue FRITZ!Box in Betrieb genommen habe, spielt Alexa über Sonos kein Radio mehr ab. Andere Sprachbefehle z.B. Smart Home dagegen funktionieren aber problemlos.Bin mit meinem Latein und Nerven am Ende. Bitte um Hilfe. Kann es eventuell mit dem Update der Sonos One zu tun haben? Beste Grüße Jens 

I have 3 Sonos One and a Beam. All been fine until last few days.  Now asking either Alexa or Sonos voice to play my music or BBC radio one - says ‘now playing..etc’ but then nothing plays. Have disconnected, reconnected, rebooted etc and the only thing that works is controlling via the app.  very frustrating- any ideas?

I when playing the volume at a low level, Alexa follows the volume level. In my opinion, Alexa needs to be set at a consistent level to be able to utilize her responses. Please provide an update to the app where the volume of the assistant can remain at a consistent level.

Sonos One microphone stopped working.Alexa still announces reminders, yet it does not respond to voice commands. The microphone has been turned off and on; the device has been unplugged and restarted; I even went as far as restoring the device to factory settings (which I have learned may not have been the best idea). I also deleted the Alexa service and then added the service back with the speaker announcing that the service has been “successfully added and the device is ready to use.” Microphone is still dead. 

I have jumped through all the steps and cant get Alexa app on Sonos Move to simply play music. It tells me I need to enable that skill on my device in the Alexa app which i have already done 10 times……..please help before I Launch my speaker out the window

Sonos one not playing any music with Alexa?I've tried restart, factory reset all not making a difference?  Is there a fix for this? TIA

HiI've noticed on the new awful app that when I ask alexa to play anything on bbc sounds on my sonos products that it does play but on the app there is no information of what is playing or any logos. If I play bbc sounds from the app it works fine. I've disconnected my bbc sounds account on sonos and reactivated and disabled the sonos and bbc sounds skill on the alexa app. Any ideas?

I have an ERA 300. I had configured Alexa without any problems. Then one day by chance I did a factory reset on the ERA300 and had to reconfigure the device. Since then I have not been able to configure Alexa. I proceed with the configuration but the procedure blocks me when it goes to match the amazon account. I tried with other smartphones and nothing I can't even get to the configuration.Can you help me?? thanks

Yesterday I made these stupid idea to remove alexa from all of my devices and de- register them and remove them from my Amazon account. I did this because I was struggling getting alexa “dot” devices to work alongside the system like they used to. I figured I would try to troubleshoot it myself and get myself in a hole.Now I am trying to re-add all of my speakers, and only the Sonos beam and one of my Sonos‘s “one” speakers re-added alexa to them. The rest, including “move”, “arc”, other play “one”s will not add alexa.I enter into the Sonos app and click on “arc” for example, and it will be non-clickable and will say “alexa already added“. Alexa is not working on this device and it does not voice prompt. I know other users have had the same problem, but I have not seen a solution. Anyone have a solution to this? i’ll call Sonos later, but I’m not going to be home for a while so I can’t mess with the system. 

Had to change my Amazon password a couple of days ago and now there is no Alexa. microphone is off on my Beams and unable to be turned back on either manually or via the app have uninstalled and reinstalled both the Sonos and Alexa apps have made sure both Beams are online.  They both still work (ie can play music through them via phone) but Alexa tells me they are offline Have disabled and enabled the sonos skill on Alexa app multiple times have updated the Alexa app have tried deregistering one of the Beams (but can’t work out how to re-register it as Alexa can’t find it) can’t delete Alexa as a voice assistant as it is not an option - i can see it is listed as ‘already added’ but am unable to delete it.  No option to add any other voice assistants (some have suggested Google) as not given as an option.  Only has Sonos Voice Control and AlexaThis has taken up an unforgiveable amount of time. Judging by

My Sonos One has Alexa voice control. If I ask for let’s say, “Play radio 5 live” I get a response in a few words that it will happen but nothing further. Does that make sense? I must be missing something but what? Any ideas? Thanks, John (aka Grierson)

Just tried uninstalling Amazon shopping app and then Amazon voice control works.

When playing BBC stations via Alexa on my Era 100 it now doesn’t respond to the stop voice command only via the top button. It also sometimes won’t start a radio station at all via an Alexa voice command. This has started over the last week. Other than the bellowing voice confirmations it worked fine before.
