Audible ?

I have just bought a Sonos One. The sound is great. The Alexa integration doesn't seem to work well. A lot of the skills just don't work. Audible is really important for me and I thought it would be possible to play through Alexa. It tells me it is about to play my book..but nothing happens.

Audible is 80% of my use case. I might have to take it back

To be honest I can care less about the story of why audible stopped working. Just fix it. It’s stupid that Sonos + Alexa dot works but Sonos one doesn’t. Seriously don’t need excuses just want the functionality. Sonos works great otherwise. Getting AirPlay with Apple would be cool but audible more important.

Saw this posted on another forum FWIW. Hopefully a sign it is coming back after years.

There's an alarming image included on top of it. 😉

Na, welches „Vöglein“ da wohl Volker Weber etwas „gezwitschert“ hat 😃

Since they seem to be advertising Audible on their Sonos One marketing welcome emails, I'd suspect it's coming sooner than later.

This is in Amazon’s hands to fix. They have to work on how Alexa processes requests. If I said “play my audiobook in the master bedroom,” she will respond “I can’t find “in the master’s bedroom.” The only thing that Sonos can do is wait. You can play your audible book to AppleTV and, if you have a playbar, go into Sonos and group the speakers for the book (lowering volume on playbar). Or download the book to computer and add to your library to play via Sonos. There are workarounds while they figure things out.

Well amazon can be blamed on some of the voice support. But when it comes to audible support this has been a mess by Sonos from the beginning when it stopped working a couple years ago. But they are finally getting it in order... finally.

Apparently sooner vs later doesn't include 2017. 2018 and still no audible. 2 years now. Disgraceful.

I never saw any predictions it would be 2017. Now if you said January-February 2018 - then I'm on board.
