Amazon Alexa and Sonos

I installed Spotify app on Sonos. I have the Sonos skill in Alexa. In Alexa Sonos appears 2 times : 1) as sonos one with my name (location Belgium where I live) 2) as living room (location Belgium again) I can not change my device (sonos) location , not in my app on iphone , not online at alexa.amazon.com to a supported country Under settings "Music settings" "choose default music service" I can not select Spotify What I can do : Open Spotify on iphone , select a play list , play it through the Sonos and then say "alexa play next song"

I have a new Beam. Set up worked fine until Alexa which does work. Also noticed I cannot get the mic light to turn on.

Hi, I just installed my Sonos one last night. Got all the skills, apps setup. Go to ask Alexa to play a song from Amazon Music, she replies saying 'playing (artist name) from Amazon Music' then nothing happens. Anyone else having these problems or know a solution? Thanks!

So i'm pleased that the Spotify integration landed early - not so pleased that it doesn't seem to work properly. I can get Alexa to play my playlists "play my Prince playlist" will work. But when I say "Play songs by Prince" Alexa responds: "Playing songs by Prince, on Spotify" but then precisely nothing happens. Whatever song was playing before I issued the command continues to play. Anyone else suffering with this? Thanks

Set alexa up. I can play music by command through my living room speakers. But what command do you use to go back to playing the TV audio?

Got my beam yesterday , and easy to set up , all working including Alexa .....or so I thought !!!! There are a lot of features and settings not available on Alexa with the Beam , I can't change sound settings , and other settings , also when trying to make a call using Alexa on the beam it says it is not supported on this device , Have I done something wrong in set up , or is this a cut down version of Alexa ?

Hi we just got a dot and we are trying to link it to our Sonos play1, I am getting an error at the songs login each time. When I start to add the Skill I login to the Amazon side, it then takes me to the Sonos login. when I login to that I get this error Add your Sonos speakers to your account You need to link speakers to r******@********.co.uk before you can add this skill. Go to More > Settings > Sonos Account in the Sonos app to link your speakers. (If you don't see Sonos Account, your Sonos system needs an update.) Sign in with a different account I've fixed the problem The Sonos is up to date (done today) and I can see the device in the Sonos account and manage it through the website and phone app so I don't see why it thinks I need to add a device. I have tried this on my phone and via the Alexa website, using two different browsers I can't get past this, can anyone help? Cheers Tom

I have created a playlist on the sonos playlist but I want to know if there is a way to access it via alexa. It's a pain in the butt to have to go to the sonos app every time to start it. Then what's the point in having Alexa?

Hi, Is it possible to connect the audio from my fire tv stick to my sonos via an echo dot? Seems like we're close but I have not figured it out. What I can do: 1. I can push the sound from fire stick to echo dot. 2. I can instruct echo dot to play music (Pandora, spotify etc.) on my sonos Now is there a way to daisy chain all this together?

Can anybody tell me why Alexa doesn't recognise I Heart Radio NZ stations even though I have favourites saved? It keeps going to US stations. Is this not available in New Zealand yet? Thanks.

I already know how to control Sonos with Alexa. But I want the Alexa speaker to group together with the rest of Sonos speakers. Is it possible?

Alexa will not discover my Playbase as a device. It is in the Sonus App in the TV room. I can play music from the Sonus app on the playbase. But Alexa will not play on the Playbase saying there is no such device. I have even set p multiroom on Alexa.

I have 6 Sonos Play 1 speakers in my house, and purchased an Echo Dot to enable Alexa with my speakers. Here are my initial impressions of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly": ========== THE GOOD ========== 1) Voice commands to Alexa initiate requests to play music from Amazon Prime Music on my Sonos Play 1 speakers. Requests such as artist, album, song, etc. My speakers across my house are set up as a group, and the music plays in all rooms in my house. LIKE! But see also: #2 in "THE BAD", below. 2) Voice commands to Alexa *control volume* on my Sonos Play 1 speakers, regardless of source of music. If it's playing in my Sonos app (including music I'm playing from "On this iPhone" on my Sonos app), I can control the volume with voice commands to Alexa. LIKE! 3) Voice commands to Alexa *skip tracks* in playlists that I'm playing, regardless of source of music. If it's playing in my Sonos app, (including music I'm playing from "On this iPhone" on my Sonos app) I can skip tr

Hi I have a pair of One's , one is in the living room and the other is in the dining room. Sometimes when I ask Alexa a question they both answer or one will answer followed by the other a few seconds later. Any ideas how I can rectify this so only one answers? Thanks

I have a Playbar connected to my tv and a Sonos One in another room and other Sonos speakers in other rooms. I am able to group rooms in the Sonos ap to play the tv on any other speakers. How do I tell Alexa via my Sonos One to play the sound from the playbar (while it is providing audio for my tv) in other rooms? Everything I have tried is met with a dead end.

Hi! I use Sonos mobile app for playing music. I have premium Di.Fm radio station account and I linked that radio via Radio by TuneIn. I have Amazon Eco and connected speakers to it. I can listen to music using Alexa's voice commands. Thanks to Sonos! However, I can listen to music from Alexa device only. I do not know how to ask her to change the source of my music. For instance, I want to ask Alexa to play certain radio station which I added into my favorites list (“My Sonos” in the mobile app). How can I do that? Thank you!

I have three Sonos speakers: a Play:1 in the Kitchen, a Play:5 in the adjacent dining room, and a Play:1 in the living room. I also have an Echo Dot in the Kitchen, and I have enabled the Sonos skill in Alexa. I have placed all three of Sonos my speakers in an Alexa group called "Downstairs". Alexa can't find it. At best, I can specify one speaker, say "Kitchen", and hope the other speakers are linked somehow. Also, Alexa can't find any Sonos playlists. Or, adjust the volume of the Sonos speakers. What exactly can Alexa do with the Sonos skill? Because it seems like, not much of nothing.

I understand that you can start a song on Apple Music using Siri with AirPlay 2 - once started with Siri you can then ask Alexa questions like “what song is this?” and use Alexa to pause or skip a song with Siri, Apple Music and Alexa working together. What other things can Alexa do after a song is started with Siri using AirPlay 2? I have looked for video demonstrations online but haven’t found anything in English. Also can you ask Alexa to like a song on Apple Music once initially started with Siri using AirPlay 2?

Recently got a new router, after setting my Sonos system back up I realised that Alexa would answer average questions but would not play music when asked, Tried reinstalling Sonos system numerous times, deleting all Alexa devices off app, deleted app and reinstalled changed names of speakers and still doesn't work. Am I being dumb or anything else to try?

When I say "Alexa, shuffle " Alexa responses with "Shuffling from Spotify" But then Alexa plays the first song (not shuffled). Thinking that maybe it has to start with the first song, I say "Alexa, skip" Alexa plays the second song (not shuffled). Then if I say "Alexa, shuffle" Alexa responses with "Shuffling " and the next song will be random (or shuffled). Reproducible every time. I really don't think this is the intended behavior. I do not have any non-Sonos Alexa device so I do not know if this is only on Sonos or if it is a wider problem.

Had to re-set up my sonos one due to network change (actually 3 Sonos One's). Now If I ask alex to play something from amazon music, it says, "here's a station from amazon music....." like it did before, but then doesn't play anything. Alexa - play 93 wxrt. "Here's 93.1 wxrt from tune in radio", but then, no music. I've tried several times. same response. I think it upgraded my software as part of this process and assume that is the issue...

Is there a way to turn off the chime on the Sonos one when you say “Alexa”?

Trying to connect my Echo Dot to Sonos system. When adding as a skill on the Alexa App, I get to the "Allow Alexa to control your Sonos app" page, it shows that it's loading and then I get to a screen that reads: "We were unable to link Sonos at this time." I've updated my Sonos app and tried adding the skill from my PC rather than adding on Alexa App (mobile). Login info is all correct too. Not sure what else to try but would love some help if anyone has any idea how to fix this or has experienced getting the same error message. Thanks in advance!

I recently added the Fire Cube to my home setup that consists of Sonos Ones and Play:1s through out. It seems that the Fire Cube takes over when using Alexa and channels all of the audio output through it's small speaker. When asking to play music, it attempts to start Spotify through the cube, utilizing the TV. Aside from renaming the Fire Cube's Alexa function, what else could I do to get it revert to the Sonos as the primary audio source?

Hello everyone I have a Sonos One and two Play:1s. Can I ask the Alexa on the Sonos One to play one kind of music on there and ask it to play different music on the Play:1, which is in another room? So far, all I've managed to do is get the Sonos One to play the same music across all the speakers by making a 'Group' within the Sonos app. But how about playing different music? If this is not possible, might a software update make this possible at some point?
