Vinyl/Turntable on Sonos - Issue

I recently purchased a turntable to play vinyl records. I’ve plugged it into my Era 100 and it works on that speaker great.

The issue I’ve found is that, whilst it auto-plays on the Era 100, its default is to ONLY play on the Era 100. I have another speaker in the same room (a Beam Gen 1) that I’d like it to default to every time as well.

Instead, I have to manually go into the app and add the additional speaker I’d like it to play through. This is particularly buggy, and it doesn’t always work. The much bigger issue is that I have to do this every time I put on a new record (or even switch it from Side 1 to Side 2), so it’s getting super frustrating.

Could anyone kindly give some recommendations please? Is there an easy way to fix this?

Go to the Settings for the room.  Select Line-In, then Autoplay.  Click Include Grouped Rooms to On.  Note: The rooms must be grouped before playing to the Line-In in order to work.  There is no function that will automatically group rooms that are currently ungrouped.

    Thanks for the response. I’ve created a ‘Living Room’ Group by adding in the Beam 1 and the Era 100. I’ve then done as suggested, and selected ‘Include Grouped Rooms’ to on. Despite this, it’s still only defaulting to playing on the connected Era 100. I need to manually go into the Sonos app and select which room (or grouping) I’d like it to play to. What’s even worse is this manual process is buggy, and it doesn’t always work.
