Hi,
I have bought 2 SONOS ROAM speakers. I am trying to set them up to play music in stereo. Or at least have sound coming out from both ROAM at the same time.
Configuration:
-Samsung Galaxy A3
-Computer running Ubuntu v22.04 LTS, acting as a Wifi Hotspot, connected to internet through ethernet cable
I am unable to get a SONOS system with both SONOS ROAM in...
Below is the log of my trial. Any help welcome.
Regards,
Nicolas.

[pc] Checking which device is connected on the Wifi Hotspot:
? (10.42.0.11) at f0:f6:c1:d9:30:ae [ether] on wlo1 => SONOS ROAM 1
? (10.42.0.187) at 82:47:7d:0f:d7:a5 [ether] on wlo1 => Samsung Galaxy A3, i.e. controlling smartphone
? (10.42.0.27) at f0:f6:c1:d9:35:fa [ether] on wlo1 => SONOS ROAM 2
[Android] Starting SONOS App
[Android][SONOS App] has selected one of the ROAM.. looking at system shows only one => can play music on this one, say it was SONOS ROAM 1
[SONOS ROAM 1] Power off
[Android][SONOS App] Close application
[Android] Starting SONOS App
[Android][SONOS App] has selected the other ROAM.. looking at system shows only one => can play music on this second one, i.e. SONOS ROAM 2
Conclusion: current version of SONOS App v14.8.1 running on my Android Samsuns Galax A3 does not seem to be able to have 2 SONOS ROAM in the same system. It creates 2 independant systems with 1 of the SONOS in each.
