Can’t get Alexa Announcements to work on my new Sonos One

Bought a Sonos One and connected it to my old 2x Sonos plays.
I did this to set up Alexa routines for my daughter.
While I have been able to get music to play out the speakers from a routine,
I cannot get it to do an Announcement through any of the speakers from a routine.
When I press play on the routine it says “Now playing you routine” but no sound is played.

I have reset the speaker, removed the Alexa app, re installed it re connected it to the Sonos app but it still did not work.

There is a post on the Sonos community talking about this from a couple of months ago but it seems like it is working for some and not others.

I was hoping someone here might have some thoughts on getting this to work.

Hi @AaronWaguespack 

I see you have been on the related thread here:

I don’t think I can add much to what has been said there already, unfortunately.
