Multiple speakers, different types - one airplay entity

Hi community, 

 

Already for some time, I have multiple speakers in my apartment. first, I had two speakers set-up as stereopair. These were visible in AirPlay as just one entity (I mean: you can hit one button on your list of devices, they show up as 1 thing). 

 

Now, i added another stereopair to my set-up. So now there is 4 speakers in one room. Now I see two entities in Airplay: one entity for Stereo Pair A, and one for Stereo Pair B. 

 

What I am looking for, is to combine stereo pair A, and stereo pair B together, by combing these, that makes controlling stuff easier, plus it looks decent ;-). 

 

Now, I know that Sonos offers to “group” speakers together, but that doesn't fix the Airplay entities. So I am actually looking to “merge” the two stereo pairs. 

 

Does anyone knows how to set this up? Or can someone tell me if this is even a possibility? I was also looking into my HAS setup to make this work, but up until now no succes. I hope one of you might be able to help me. Thanks!

To my knowledge, it can’t be done in AirPlay 2. Because there are two ‘rooms’ in Sonos, there will be two ‘targets’ in the AirPlay menu. The best you can do is group them in the Sonos app, the use AirPlay to one ‘target’, and allow the AirPlay source to play on them all. Just ignore the second ‘target’ in the AirPlay 2 interface.
