Having problems playing Spotify through voice control, Alexa saying 'sorry, that device is off line'. No problems playing through an app control. Deeply frustrating! Any help welcome!
Go to the Sonos app and remove voice services from the room settings. Disable the Sonos Skill in the Alexa app and subsequently re-enable it. See if that helps.
Thanks for the help, unfortunately it didn't work...... me and Alexa are not currently friends....
Thanks for the help, unfortunately it didn't work...... me and Alexa are not currently friends....Depending on the type of speaker you are playing to, does the Alexa link (if present) in the speakers 'room settings' show you as being logged into the correct Amazon Account?... it will show the login username, if not, then reauthorise the device to use/share with Alexa services.
