Hi Folks

Happy New Year to everyone!

Just bought my 3rd Sonos this week (Sonos One). Alexa is only playing one song on a playlist then stopping which is driving me insane.
Has anyone got a solution to this very annoying problem please?
Looking at the forum it seems like a very common problem that keeps lingering on which is very disappointing considering the reputation of 2 huge companies Amazon & Sonos.

Any help or advice from anyone would be much appreciated?

Thanks

      There was an outage on the Alexa on Sonos connection that's since been resolved. You should be back up and good now.

        I was frustrated with the problem on setting up my first Sonos products today. For me the fix was to remove Amazon as a music service from within the Sonos App. Now voice commands work perfectly, playlists, radio and album change track correctly. I can't use the Sonos App to select music from Amazon Music but that doesn't bother me.

        This isn't required for voice control to work. Did you set up a default music service in Alexa App>Settings>Music & Media? The Answer in this post details steps to sort out most issues relating to Alexa playback issues:
