Amazon Alexa and Sonos

I have a Sonos One And would like to play songs from Amazon music using the App (i.e without using Alexa voice control). Can I do this?

Development so that Sonos One can be used to make calls

Will my new Sonos 1 with Alexa read my kindle books for me? I hope so as this was one of the reasons for purchasing!

Apologises if this topic has been covered elsewhere, but have looked and nothing similar has come up. I have an Amazon Echo Plus (plus bit is irrelevant I think), and a Sonos One. I can play music on the Echo or the One, but not both at the same time. I have a group for both the Echo and the One, however Alexa on the Echo, does not recognise this group. Can anyone assist me in getting my One and Echo to play the same music at the same time?

1. Connected to HDMI ARC (HDMI-1) 2. CEC settings modified to allow controlling TV turn on/off 3. This is an Insignia TV (non smart) 4. HDMI-2 is connected to Amazon FireTV

I got myself two Sonos Ones to replace to Play:1s and got them all set up yesterday. I had to reset and remove devices and start over, but all seems to work. There is just one small problem. In my Alexa app after adding a Kitchen and Living Room Sonos One, I now have 4 new devices showing. Kitchen, Kitchen Sonos, Living Room and Living Room Sonos. If I speak to Alexa and ask her to play music, she says 'Playing ...... on Kitchen Sonos', likewise if I want to play music in another room I have to say 'Alexa, play ...... on Living Room Sonos, I can't just say Living Room. To play to a Bedroom Play:1 I can just say 'bedroom'. I assume that the 'Kitchen' device is Alexa and the 'Kitchen Sonos' device is the actual speaker for playback. Does anyone else have the same, and is this correct? It's not a deal breaker but a little bit annoying.

I just want voice control for simple things like volume control, skip, repeat, play, pause, etc. Not interested in all the other stuff and actually got rid of Alexa's to get Sonos and have no interest in linking Sonos to Alexa account for what should be obvious reason... Can Sonos please consider adding this for Sonos One, the mic is there, why not?? I would buy more for the rest of our rooms but right now I am not sold on this being the speakers I invest in.

When will a voice controller be able to control the volume of my grouped rooms? Will purchase a voice controller (Alexis, Google, etc) when one of them can control my Sonos grouped rooms We rarely play play just one room. Useless tool for Sonos without that feature.

Sonos One in the bathroom, my wife likes to talk to it and tell it to play her favorite Ed Sheeran songs while she's getting ready for work. The past few days, she asks Alexa to play Ed Sheeran on Spotify and gets no response, only silence. This was working fine until the past few days. Any ideas?

Hi there, brand new to Sonos - one whole week! I played music via Spotify and Alexa was working all weekend, but now I can't get either to work on Sonos. I can get Sonos to play downloaded music from my iphone. I did turn the speaker off one night because the light was annoying me - could that be it? Should I start again and if so, how should I do that? Sorry if a newbie rookie question. thank you :? It says that the wireless connection is disconnected (something like that).

I have a spotify premium account linked to my phone but when I try to play music from spotify through the sonos speakers I am given the error message to upgrade to a premium account, which I already have. Is there a fix for this. Thanks

Just bought a sonos beam to allow me to connect to other sonos products and TV but it won’t connect to anything not even Spotify that is on my sonos app. Going to throw it out of the window shorty it’s so difficult and frustrating. Not what was advertised...

Hi Guys, I have a group of Sonos One speakers. They are in my lounge and kitchen. Can get Alexa to adjust the volume for the group? It would be good if we could name the group and refer to the group rather than an individual speaker when talking to Alexa.

I originally worked through successfully setting up a new Sonos Beam to my older Sharp Aquos TV. I was able to use voice commands to Alexa to turn on/off the TV up until a recent series of power outages. After the power outage, both Alexa and my Sonos ecosystem weren't behaving but after following other community posts, I was able to get everything working again. The next day is when I noticed that I couldn't use Alexa to turn off/on TV whereas it was working previously. All other functions via Beam work fine (various audio sources, other Alexa commands, etc). Setup: Sonos Beam connected to HDMI 1 (ARC port) on Sharp Aquos TV. I verified menu settings on TV to enable Sharp Aquos Link on TV for Auto Power ON (presumably Sharp's version for CEC setting). NOTE: This setting worked previously. Troubleshooting thus far: Validate in Sonos App and Alexa App that all devices appear and online. I have gone to the Alexa website (not mobile app) to 'Forget' the 'Den TV' device .

The only way I can get Sirius XM go play is to request Sirius XM without specifying a specific channel. Alexa will then pull up the last station. When I request a specific station the response is “I couldn’t find Sirius Channel 33” Any ideas on what to try ?

Hi there! I have seen some older posts on this issue but there doesn't seem to be any resolution, so I'm posting it again and hopefully highlight this issue again for Sonos/Amazon to resolve. There are many of us who have the Sonos One speakers and Amazon Echo around the house. Currently it's not possible for the two speaker systems to link despite they all run Alexa and support multi-room play. Apparently it is a problem that can be easily fixed with some software updates from Amazon's end to allow the systems to link. I hope Sonos can have this conversation with Amazon and allow this feature to be available ASAP.

Hi there, when I ask Alexa to turn on “sky sports radio” she says “I could not find a station called “sky sports radio” I have tried every variation including “Alexa play sky sports radio on tune in” etc. I have saved it to my list of favourite radio stations and my favourite radio shows. She recognises every other radio station on my list and has no trouble playing them but refuses to recognise “ sky sports radio”. It is my favourite radio station and the one I listen to the most so it is quite irritating but it’s the only one she doesn’t recognise. does anyone know why this might be?

I’m having a problem using my Chromecast with my beam - beam is installed on hdmi-arc and Chromecast is installed on hdmi #3 on my Vizio tv. After install I can’t cast Netflix or YouTube to the tv. The Chromecast worked just fine before moving it to hdmi #3. Any clues?

Hi - saying Alexa play radio 1, no problem- saying Alexa play Planet Rock she says OK, but then silence... any ideas?

I just bought a Sonos Beam and it set up easily and everything works well with the exception of "Alexa, what's on my calendar for today?'" I can only get a response from my echo dot...neither my Sonos Beam nor my Sonos One can get this info for me...they don't seem to be able to access my Google Calendar and I get the "Hmmm, something went wrong." reply. This is the same response I get when I ask the same question on my Sonos One

I’m Alexa app on my I phone says I’m offline so can’t connect it to my TV. The Beam works on my TV but as the Alexa app says it’s offline I can’t use any voice instructions. Help would be appreciated. Thanks Paul

Just got a Sonos One, but when trying to set it up to connect to Alexa, i get errors. I get to the "Steps to set up Alexa" stage, click on "Connect your Amazon account" and enter my amazon account credentials. But when i do, i get the message "We're sorry! An error occurred when we tried to process your request. Rest assured we're already working on the problem...". Not sure if this is because i'm in Canada and maybe it's trying to connect to Amazon.com instead of .ca? However when i go into my Alexa account, in my devices i see "Daniel's Sonos One" (but no other devices). Whats going on here?

I followed all the instructions to set up sonos in Alexa app. I said: "Alexa, play Adele in the playroom", Alexa also responded that "playing adele from spotfly in the playroom". However, the sonos in the playroom is not playing any music. What is wrong with that? I unplugged and plugged both my sonos speaker and echo dot devices!

Hi folks, New to SONOS here and need of some help. I set up my new SONOS One yesterday in my kitchen and in the setup I was asked to state which room the speaker would be in... the kitchen, this then automatically named the device 'Kitchen'. All is fine... then I proceed to link it to my Amazon account... this is were things start to go a bit wrong. My Amazon device list now shows two SONOS devices.... One called Kitchen and the second one is just named Marks Sonos One... yet they are one and the same. When I go into the SONOS app I have the option of flicking between both of these named devices... even though there is only one device. I contacted Amazon who were very unhelpful for a change and stated that it was a SONOS problem not Amazon. Any ideas? Secondly.... Me and my wife have separate Amazon accounts. Is it possible to set up two Amazon accounts on one SONOS one so that we can both make the best use of Alexa? Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi all, I wanted to share with you a little discovery I've made. It is now finally possible to group / ungroup your rooms by voice! This is possible using Apple's Siri via the Airplay 2 support that has just been added by Sonos. All you need to do is add your Sonos speakers to the 'Home' app on your IOS device, and then the following example commands will work: "Hey Siri, play (artist name / song name / album name) Everywhere" (plays on all speakers) "Hey Siri, play (artist name / song name / album name) in the kitchen and living room" (to play on a selected group of speakers) -When something is already playing in one room- "Hey Siri, play this in the bedroom as well" (adds what is currently playing to another speaker) Of course the caveat to this is it is only possible to do this using Apple Music and speaking the command to your IOS device. It's a nifty feature and one I thought not everyone would be aware of. However, this makes it even more ridiculous that room-
