Can't get music to play on all displayed speakers as a group

I have 2 Sonos speakers (1. “Dining Room” a Play: 5  2. “Kitchen” a Play:3  and a  Port (3.”Family Room”) which is connected (line-in) to my Denon receiver which is part of my home theater system.

Both the Play:5 and Play:3 have been reset to work with S2 App.

In the Sonos App I choose a song and check all components listed above and group them together.  But music won’t play through the Denon receiver or “Family Room”. I only hear music through speakers 1 & 2

I can play around and sometimes via Apple Music AirPlay get them all synced.  But Apple Airplay only recognizes “Family Room” and “Dining Room”. Then I have to go on the Sonos App and choose “Kitchen”.

This is a newer problem as I used to be able to get music to sync easily. But lately it is just trial and error.

Any help is appreciated.  I hope this make sense!

The order in which speakers are grouped is important. First choose your music for a room/speaker. That becomes the group “master”. Add other rooms/speakers to that room to create the group. Try that and see how it goes  

There should be a “group everywhere” option too, which you can try.
