Hi, When I open the select a different device screen, I can see my Sonos speakers. When I select them, I get a screen that says that Sonos needs to be authorized by my amazon account. When I press next, I am just returned to the now playing screen in the Audible iOS app. I cannot get this authorization to happen.
I have both my Sonos system and Audible app up-to-date. I also do not see Audible in my list of possible Sonos music services. Amy ideas?
