I have sonos throughout my home and sonos amps connected to non sonos speakers. When I send an alexa announcement it goes to my sonos devices and alexa devices like echo show...my ecobee thermostats.....  but is there anyway to get it to announce to in built home speakers , I have 12... connected to all my sonos amps? Even if I need a pass through device? I hate that it doesn't go to all my rooms... you would think sonos would somehow enable this....

If you have an Amp with the same name as another device in your home, you will have to say something like, “Hey Alexa play xxx in kitchen Sonos”. That what I have to do because I have lights called “kitchen” as well.

look at the devices in the Alexa app. It has the names listed as they should be said.

I'm specifically looking for the announcement feature. You dont call for a device when you do that.
