I have a problem with Alexa enabled Sonos speakers: Beam and 1s. It used to work but now if I say Alexa, play xxx, the speaker says playing xxx but doesn't. I can play the same things from the Sonos app. I don't even know whether the problem is with Sonos or Alexa!

Hi @Roger Clark.

Thanks for the update and feedback and for submitting a diagnostic.

I'm glad that we were able to address your issue. Based on the diagnostic, your Sonos has now successfully re-added a voice service It could be due to multiple Amazon-related apps installed on your mobile device that creates a little glitch between Sonos And Amazon Alexa. I do hope you enjoy and love your Sonos. Congratulations.
