In my house i have many alexa speakers. 2 Polk Audio react soundbars (with alexa built in). I have 9 dots. one echo show. two of the dots are paired (left and right) and matched with an alexa subwoofer. For background I came from the SONOS world where it just worked.

I find, over the years, that this multi room or sometimes even just one Alexa device just doesn'tt work well. Examples:

1) On a dot...'Alexa play Billy Joel'. A responds 'playing music by billy joel'......and then nothing.

2) On the paired dots......many times it will play just on the woofer even though she recognizes the command. so you just hear this background thumping (this happens a lot)

3) Alexa: Play x on the downstairs group. It will play on one device or so (they are all linked)

I do pay for the unlimited music plan that is needed to do the multi device streaming.

My internet is comcast, and the download is 800 upload isn't great.

Just want to find out if i'm alone here, before I start ripping it all out and going back to SONOS.

​

Thank you.
