TV works perfectly with Sonos playbar. 
want a simple command for Alexa to share that signal with a 2nd Sonos speaker. Same as ticking the box on the Sonos app.

Hi ​@Cjpabcd 

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

The only way you can group speakers with Alexa commands is to pre-define the group in the Alexa app first. Please make sure that the name of the group does not clash with a speaker room name, or with any other device that Alexa knows of. Please also add the Playbar to the group first.

Once done, ask Alexa to group the Playbar into this named group.

If you have trouble, you may find that Sonos Voice Control (that can run on the same Sonos speaker as Alexa, at the same time) will perform this talk more reliably, and without needing to pre-define any groups. Please see our help pages for more info:

I hope this helps.
