Alexa In All Rooms

How to fix alexa playing music on the wrong device.

Alexa in all rooms.

Use the present group names or select custom name and create your own name. Use the alexa app to create a multi room music group. First create a group to house the echo devices you want to include in the multi room playback. Make sure any other connected devices such as lights thermostats speakers etc in that room are also added to the group.

If you re asking alexa to play music on an echo device in one room but another alexa enabled device starts playing music somewhere else there are a few solutions to try. If you ask alexa what is playing she tells you the song on the group that you hear in maybe one or two rooms top but there is no sound. That setup will cost 80. But there is an area in our house where three rooms are easily within the various devices earshot.

I have them all in a single group. Multi room audio lets you control music playback on echo speakers. Fire up the alexa mobile app tap the menu button in the top corner of the screen tap settings device settings tap the plus button and then tap add multi room music speakers continue. Audio from video content does not play on multi room music groups.

To help make this as simple as possible we suggest you give your echos logical names. This makes sense if you already have a speaker system for. For example use names like the kitchen the living room and the kids room. In rooms well separated by walls we re able to use alexa in each room.

The most affordable way to extend alexa to multiple rooms is to buy the echo dot and extend it with the remote. Then just ask alexa to play music on the group and the sounds are piped to all the devices in that. To test this try standing in a room where you have just created an alexa enabled group and say alexa turn on the lights if the command works you are all set. Select and set up multi room music.
