Additional information:

Hello. I'm experiencing a problem with audio groups. It looks like the first group you create works on activation. The groups that are 2-3, etc., are unable to connect together. I have video of the problem if anyone wants it?

Thank you for your involvement in my problem. Am I the only one experiencing this problem? This is such an important functionality in the sonos card

[punxaphil]

Yes, to me it feels like an issue with your players/your sonos setup. This usually works for users without problems.

Hello. It works to group speakers with HA's own join option service call, and Sonos' original app.

I experience a much more stable grouping in the Sonos card, if the option "Skip Apply Button When Grouping" is switched off. But when this option is turned on, the problems start.

I just arrived at this issue experiencing the same problem. Just like @ojm88, the issue only happens with the skip apply when grouping option is enabled. Here is a working card config:

type: custom:sonos-card
sections:
  - volumes
  - groups
  - grouping
  - player
  - media browser
predefinedGroups:
  - name: Everywhere
    media: ""
    entities:
      - player: media_player.sonos_move
        volume: 40
      - player: media_player.office
        volume: 12
      - player: media_player.kitchen
        volume: 40
hideGroupCurrentTrack: false
dynamicVolumeSlider: true
showVolumeUpAndDownButtons: true
topFavorites:
  - ""
adjustVolumeRelativeToMainPlayer: true
hideBrowseMediaButton: false
mediaBrowserHideTitleForThumbnailIcons: false
artworkAsBackground: true

And here is a card config where grouping will initially appear to work, but the speakers will revert to being ungrouped within seconds:

type: custom:sonos-card
sections:
  - volumes
  - groups
  - grouping
  - player
  - media browser
predefinedGroups:
  - name: Everywhere
    media: ""
    entities:
      - player: media_player.sonos_move
        volume: 40
      - player: media_player.office
        volume: 12
      - player: media_player.kitchen
        volume: 40
hideGroupCurrentTrack: false
dynamicVolumeSlider: true
showVolumeUpAndDownButtons: true
topFavorites:
  - ""
adjustVolumeRelativeToMainPlayer: true
hideBrowseMediaButton: false
mediaBrowserHideTitleForThumbnailIcons: false
artworkAsBackground: true
skipApplyButtonWhenGrouping: true

The only change I performed is enabling the switch for Skip Apply Button When Grouping in the visual editor.
