Is the music quality the same when requesting music through an Amazon Echo to Sonos as it is playing directly from the Sonos App? I assume that the Echo simply passes off the instruction and gets out of the way when the Sonos speakers start playing. The sound seems the same but ive only tried for a few minutes. (It's pretty cool!)

I have two Alexa's which are directly linked to Sonos players, One is a Play:5 and another a connect, in both cases the Echo is connected via a 3.5 mm audio cable. After today's update sounds intrinsic to Alexa, such as "What time is is" no longer play through the sonos speakers. If it disconnect the patch cord the sounds play just fine on the echo itself and other audio such as audiobooks/Spotify/SiriusXM stream as well as alarm and timer tones play just fine (and yes it's by patch cable not the new method, if I unplug the cable the echo plays the music via it's speakers). The sounds which are missing are the ones using the "Alexa" voice. I've tried disabling the app, forgetting all the speakers and then setting it all up again which didn't correct the issue. Any ideas this is a rather annoying bug.

I have a pair of Vienna Acoustic speakers rated at 4-ohms. I'm considering switching to a Sonos Amp, but wondering if that will work given Sonos lists the amp at 8-ohms. Does this just mean it will pull more power to get the same volume or are there any issues risks here?

I would like my Sonos Play 1 to be the default speaker for my Amazon Echo but so far, yesterday's update only allows me to play music on the Sonos through voice commands. Have I missed a setting or is this not a feature?

I am updating my Home Cinema system and want to explore the Sonos option. Can I use my current LG Signature Sound bar to use with Sonos speakers as I don't really want to add another sound bar. What I would like to do is add the subwoofer and some ones to the LG sound bar. Possible? Can I have a Sonos wifi solution here which integrates? Thank you all! Jay

I'm so underwhelmed by this implementation *no favourites, playlists, Spotify) that I want to disable the feature. So what's the easiest way to do this?

Is it possible to play the same song simultaneously on the echo speaker and my Sonos speaker? Essentially using the echo as another “Sonos” speaker in the group?

I am about to enter the Sonos ecosystem to replace my old wired 5.1 setup. It is important that I can use Alexa to request music using the same system that will be serving 5.1 sound when watching movies. In a 5.1 setup, would I need to buy 2 new Alexa enabled One's if I didn't want to use a dot? I am unsure weather it would be better to use dot's to drive them or have Alexa built into the speaker's themselves. I will wait for Spotify support regardless so I have some time to mull this over. Any input would be appreciated. /Christian

I've been waiting for a long time for the Alexa enabled Sonos. What I didn't know was going to happen isnthat I would have to buy all new Sonos Ones to get that feature. What I have loved about Sonos that you buy the speaker and it is supposed to get better through software updates...it's part of their marketing literature. What I don't understand is why is Somos deviating from this? I'm now required to buy more speakers to get the feature I want, making my old speakers obsolete? I don't want to have to drop another $1000 to update my home system...I'm only 3 years into building my Sonos system across my house. Please tell me there is a software update that will work with my Alexa Dots in the very near future. Very frustrated loyal customer, Ryan C

Is there a way to set a sleep timer for Sonos through the echo itself?

What can I do with clashing names for Alexa devices and Sonos devices ? For example I have an Alexa dot called kitchen and a sonos device called kitchen. When I ask alexa to play it defaults to music coming from the dot rather than sonos. I don't want to rename everything strangely as it doesn't make it user friendly... any ideas ?

Any news? Will Alexa work with my current SONOS speakers?

Can't find the command to play a favourite ...

Hi SONOS-Team, currently having problems with Alexa/SONOS in combination with Philips HUE. Both Systems use same commands in Germany ("Alexa, lower volume in living room" => "Alexa, Wohnzimmer leiser") is dimming the HUE lights instead of lowering the volume ;-)

When will Sonos integrate with Alexa? I see all of this information about the Sonos One, which sounds really cool, but from my reading if you already have an Echo or Echo Dot, you will be able to use that as controller as well - correct? I currently have several Sonos Connects in a central closet connected to in-ceiling speakers in all the main rooms of our house. Will I ever be able to use Alexa to say "Play X in the kitchen" and have the Sonos play from the in-ceiling speakers or no? Thanks!

Hi all, I have 2 Sonos Play:3 devices in my house and one Echo Dot. I would like to see that the voice interaction that I have with Alexa is fed back via the Sonos Play speaker(s). Is this something that is possible or will that still go via the 'less nice' Dot speaker? Or do I have to buy a different Alexa powered device? Thanks Bjorn

I've noticed when playing Alexa content through Sonos that I can press "exit alexa" on the sonos app but how can I get back to the music queue using voice commands? It would also be helpful if in the future, it would resume the queue from where it was and not go all the way back to the top. Is there a full list of voice commands supported?

Correction to a previous topic. My SONOS 1 stopped working and it could update the software via WIFI. Finally I connected to Ethernet cable and I updated the software and started to work normally. What can I do to make the SONOS 1 work with WIFI again?

Hi. I use Sonosnet throughout my big old house to provide WiFi to all my android devices. It's brilliant and is fast and solid as a rock. I bought an Alexa echo dot. It's sat next to my kitchen play five. My Google pixel phone can see the Alexa and control my Sonos, and access the internet through Sonosnet WiFi. But Alexa will not see the Sonosnet....just the really week signal from my distant router. Any thoughts on how to get Alexa echo dot to connect to Sonosnet WiFi? Thanks

I'm in the beta program, inside the Sonos app on Android tablet. Check for updates, update available, click on Update Now. This opens the Google Play Store, NOT the Sonos beta site, to the already-installed current Sonos app. WTF? Why is this not opening to the Sonos beta site, like it used to do? I want tk test Alexa integration, how is it possible to get the public beta?

I have seen many news articles that mention that the Sonos announcement is today but none of them mention a time. Is this something we can watch like Apple or Google events?

Hi, Anyone know if I can yet play my music to my Play:3s from my amazon Echos without a hardwire connection?

I am planning on using a Sonos System in our new house and had been planning on using a playbar sitting on our mantle with a TV above. I am now wondering if I could use a playbase off to the sides in the bottom bookshelf, perhaps the white one and it could kind of blend in. Thoughts, could this work or would it not sound right not being directly in front of the tv https://i.imgur.com/qM9jxqL.png

I just bought a new Samsung Tv 65Q7F. Connected everything through the one connect box. As the sonos play bar is below the TV and all the stuff including the one connect is in cupboard few feet away concealed away. So I connected the optical cable from the one connect to the Sonos hub and chose the option of optical output from the tv and sky, but there seems to be no sound coming. The seems fine if I select tv speaker output. Please help.

Hi all, i damaged the front grille of my play 5. Is there a chance of a replacement part? The damage is a pea sized dent smack bang in the centre of the grille. Once you see it, you can't stop noticing it! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
