I'm starting another thread because someone marked my other one answered and it hasn't been answered. Why would someone do that? :@

Anyway....

Here is a link to the other topic. Ignore the first page as I was pretty ticked off for a while. Actually, I'm still ticked off, and I'm trying to not rant.

https://en.community.sonos.com/amazon-alexa-and-sonos-229102/i-think-i-ve-made-an-expensive-mistake-6796277

After all I've gone through the comment that best fits the current circumstance is "One step forward. Twelve steps back."

I thought I was getting there. I really did. Everything was close to working except Alexa kept dropping music in the middle of a song or after only two or three songs. It was taking verbal requests as well. I had to stop working on it and do some shopping.

When I got home I found that none of the buttons on the top of the speakers worked. No volume up/down or play/pause. No sound or response when pressing them.

And when I said "Alexa", I got the "I do not understand..." error.

So I'm really no farther today then I was last Monday morning.

Rant
What an amazing amount of wasted time and effort. I should have a chance to call Sonos help tomorrow, but I'm damned if I'm going to sit for over half an hour waiting for an understaffed help desk to answer the phone.

    Trying to listen to football commentary on BBC Radio Leicester but getting th usual due to contractual reasons we are unable to bring you this broadcast. Really annoying. Now having to listen via Freeview!

    That has nothing to do with Sonos. Sports broadcasts are often blacked out on the internet due to contracts with other streaming services or apps. Same here in the states, you can't get NFL and NHL streams unless you get them via their apps or pay via SiriusXM. MLB is available as a service on Sonos.
