Alexa won't access Amazon Music Unlimited Account

When I ask Alexa to play a song, her response is that my "Amazon Marketplace settings are not properly configured for this device" (a Sonos One). Alexa works in all other respects. I've checked everyone on Amazon's end, and I can't see where the problem is. Here's some facts to consider.

1. We are US expats in London. We have 2 Amazon accounts, and I've made certain that the Amazon Music Unlimited account is tied to the UK account, and that the Amazon music services in Sonos are also tied to the UK account. Same thing for Alexa.

2. I wonder if the issue in any way related to the fact that my Sonos app comes from the US Google Play store, and not a UK-based Google Play account?

Anyone else have the same problem when you ask Alexa to play a specific song?

Can you also change your profile in www.Sonos.com. If the problem persists, then it's probably somee form of Account Linking or Authorisation has not completed successfully. There are a number of causes for this and it's best to try these steps 1 at a time and test before moving on to the next step if the problem persists:
2.1/ Open the Alexa App>Skills>Your Skills>Sonos and 'Disable' followed by 'Enable';
2.2/ Ensure that you don't have multiple Amazon accounts logged into different Apps on your device, as this can confuse the Amazon Authorisation. If yes, then please log out of the other accounts and then complete step 2.1 again;
2.3/ If the problem still persists, please logout of all Amazon accounts then select the Alexa App>Skills>Your Skills>Sonos and 'Disable. Now power down all Sonos devices for 10 secs, allowing for any wired devices to boot before booting the remaining Sonos players. Now log back into the Alexa App>Skills>Sonos and 'Enable'
Remember: Sometimes Red Wine helps :)
