When I ask Alexa for the weather, she tells me the weather in California. How can I update her and get her to realise that I live in the UK? Thanks guys

I am almost giving up with this Sonos & Alexa integration. I have a Play:1 device which I am trying to link up with Alexa. The Alexa app on Android is the most recent, the Sonos app on Android and the Windows desktop are the most recent. Also the software on the Play:1 is up-to-date (checked on the Android app and Desktop app). I can add the Skill on either the App or through a web browser (Chrome) on the desktop - I have signed into my Sonos account, authorised, then signed into the Amazon account (goes to Amazon.com not .co.uk??). This seems to work without a hitch every single time I have tried it (I have lost count now...). The problem comes when I try to discover devices the message "There was an error discovering your devices" flashes up and has done so every single time I have re-added the Skill which is now driving me insane!! I have even reset the Play:1 and re-installed all the apps numerous times but still cannot get Alexa to discover the Play:1. Stuck!

I am having difficulty getting Alexa to respond to audio requests for her to play music over Sonos in several rooms at the same time. She only seems to be able to cope with one room. Anyone else experienced this?

I have struggled over the years with my Sonos system and it's intermittent on/off the network. So, I finally re-configured network to be 100% on my WiFi with a LinkSys net extender (using same SSID). It's stable now...BUT 1) My Sonos controller (not a phone) no longer works because it needs to communicate through a bridge; correct? But, using a bridge means I have to go back to a private SonosNet; correct? 2) So, my options are to continue using Android phones/tablet to run the system (wife likes the old controller) or to migrate to voice-control (Amazon Echo) or other controller (waiting for a Flipp).... I think that voice-control may be her best bet....thoughts?

I have successfully logged in and linked both my Amazon account and Sonos account, added the Sonos skill to Alexa. Aleax wont discover any of my Sonos speakers .. just says there has been an error discovering your devices

Will the new Sonos One stream music directly from a NAS device on the same network?

Evening everyone! First post here. So the title says it all really. I've decided that I'd like to start my journey into having a wireless speaker setup around the house. We are an Apple household, with iPhones, iPads and two Apple TV's (4th Gen and 4K) and use Apple Music as our streaming service. We also have Amazon Prime and have used an Echo Dot previously. Our only speakers are the ones in our phones, a Samsung soundbar and Now given that we are so Apple heavy, when looking at the various options and discussing it with the boss (AKA Wife), we came to the conclusion that the Sonos speakers seemed to be the most family friendly and unrestricted, as opposed to say getting a HomePod which is Apple only, that when we have people round they can download the Sonos app from their respective app store if need be and then load tunes up with minimal fuss. But would the community here say it's worth jumping in now or waiting until the dust clears...? I personally can't see

Hi, I have seen similar topics on here regarding this issue but think this one is unique. I received my Play:1 & 3 yesterday and set them up fine. At this point my iPhone 6 was able to adjust the volume using the physical buttons. Later that day I set my girlfriend's iPhone 6 up and realised that my buttons no longer worked. I have reset the app, re-downloaded it, even factory reset both speakers and set it up again. As it stands her phone can control the volume but mine cannot. Is there anyway to resolve this so that both phones can use the physical buttons to control the volume? Thanks in advance for any help.

If I buy a new Sonos 1 with Alexa capability/mic, will it be able to pair with my Sonos 1 without Alexa for stereo?

Hey, I'm new to Sonos in general here--I work in a kitchen and we recently just got a system there. Beforehand, we typically would play various artist radio stations from Spotify through an AUX connection, and would add songs/albums to the queue when we wanted them to play next. Now we're still using Spotify, but through the Sonos App. However, now when we're playing a Spotify station and want to add songs/abums to play next (and have it automatically revert back to that station when those songs/albums added finish I should add), it will just continue playing from the station and ignore we have manually added. We've tried 'Play Next' and 'Add to Queue' and neither work the same way they seemed to when it was just the Spotify app without being filtered though the Sonos app. Hopefully this question computes, and it's a simple thing that we're missing. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have been runnning a Plex service into my Sonos, all was working great until I rebuilt my Plex server and used a different server name. The old server has been deleted from my Plex account so it just shows one server but my Sonos keeps trying to connect to the old name. I have removed the service and reauthorised but it's still trying to connect to a server that is no longer there. Any ideas how to fix?

I understand that Alexa will play music from several music services including Amazon Music and named streaming stations but will it play all existing music from my Sonos Music Library which has not necessarily been gathered from these named services?

I am trying to use the line-in on my Connect:Amp. However, when I have a device plugged into the phono sockets, the following message appears: "To use line-in, connect a device to a line-in capable sonos player" - i.e. the Connect:Amp is not 'seeing' the Line-in connection. I have already tried the following: Swapped the phono cables over - no luck Rebooted the Sonos Connect:Amp - no luck Factory reset the Sonos Connect:Amp and added back to the system - no luck Then I connected the same line-in device to my Sonos Connect - the line-in does show up and works OK Used the same cables to re-connect to the Connect:Amp - still no luck I can only conclude that something is up with the Connect: Amp Can anybody help? Advice would be greatly appreciated. I have submitted a diagnostics report: #7976997 Thank you!

Hello I'm moving from the UK to the US and want to take my Play 1s. I imagine I can just use a converter plug but I wanted to know whether I could buy US power cable for a Play 1 to avoid having to use a converter? Also, will the Play 1s work in the States? I read a few older posts on here that hinted at the technology being slightly different to avoid people buying cheaper versions abroad? Any help or advice much appreciated. Thanks Ed

I had the Sonos skill added and it was working for the most part. Playing my Pandora on the each player via Alex voice control. and I could see in the Sonos app the art of the current playing song. I updated the players and although Alexa says it is playing the music in the right location/device, I don't hear any music and the Sonos App on the iphone does not show that it is playing anything. The iOS sonos app is also up to date. I use an Echo Dot.

I have 5 Sonos devices on my account. My ex took 2. How do I remove them from the account. I don't want to have them linked.

I have a Sonos PlayBase and 2 Sonos 1 speakers set up as a surround sound system and I have successfully used my Alexa Dot through my Sonos speakers. However, today I renamed my Sonos Group, told Alexa to forget the old Group and discovered the new Group. The new Group shows up on the Alexa app but when asked to play music through the new Group Alexa tells me it is off-line. It is not off-line as I am able to use the Sonos with all other applications. When I look at the Sonos device on the Alexa app I am told "oops something went wrong, please try again" Help please, how can I sort this?

My basic question is, can I plug a powered stereo receiver INTO a Sonos Connect, or will the powered signal potentially cause problems or even fry the Connect? Right now I have a turntable running into a preamp then into my Connect. Then I've got a pair of powered speakers plugged into the Connect's output. The result is that I can play records through my Sonos system and/or through the powered speakers. This works fine but I'm considering upping my game and adding an actual stereo receiver and a pair of passive speakers to replace the powered speakers. The potential problem I see is that I'm moving the power source from the output side of the Connect to the input side of the Connect. Instead of turntable-> preamp-> Connect -> powered speakers / Sonos speakers It would be turntable-> preamp-> Powered receiver-> Connect-> Sonos speakers (the new passive speakers running directly off the new receiver) I'm concerned that running a powered signal into the Connect then out to

Will l be able to play the music I have saved on my iPad via Echo dot on Sonos

I've just set up echo to discover my Sonos speakers in "living room" and "office". I'm able to tell Alexa to play music in either he living room or the office. I have not figured out how to have Alexa play on both speakers simultaneously.

Hey folks! If I want to have three separate zones that are quite far apart from one another, and all of which have wired speakers, how would you recommend I go about doing that? I will be able to place my Connect (or primary base or whatever) at the router, and I can connect my first zone of speakers directly to that. Can I daisy-chain a Connect to two separate Play-1 boxes? Is that the most elegant solution? The wifi connection isn't great, so I'm interested to hear what setup you'd recommend in two different scenarios: - If I could get the wifi to work well - If I wanted to connect all the zones using ethernet (presumably using daisy-chaining?) Thank you for your help! I'm excited to become a Sonos fan but the hardware capabilities are a little confusing.

I've set up my sub and it is currently in the "living room" group with my playbar. When finishing the set up and doing the audio calibration the set up just stops and I can't find another audio re-calibrate button on the app. My sub isn't producing any vibrations or noise. Can anyone help?

How do I add all my sonos music library to Alexa?

Here is what I'd like to do: Have TV sound play in the kitchen as well as on our existing non-sonos TV soundbar. Would it work to get a Play 5, connect line-in from the TV, have it NOT actually play the TV on the play 5, but select it to play to the Play 1 in the kitchen instead (while having TV play sound on the old sound bar, too)? I don't particularly want to buy the TV soundbar since we already have one. We have a Samsung smart TV. Does anybody know if this is possible?

Once you get music playing from Sirius can you ask Alexa to change stations to a given station..like 80's on 8?
