Sonos just stops playing!

I often ask Alexa to play a genre of music to my grouped Play 5 and two Play 1s and whilst it initiates playing an Amazon station, i often find that it will get the end of a song (or having played several songs) and then the music just stops.

I'm fairly sure this only started happening since version 8 and also i think it's only happened via a voice command start.

I recently bought a bridge so that my speaker furthest from the router is more stable via Sonosnet although the issue was happening before that.

I've submitted diagnostic 7991733

Any thoughts anyone?

I'm having the exact same problem. I ask Alexa to play music on my sound bar, it'll get through two songs and then stop playing.

I've submitted diagnostic number 7998451.

If you've changed your setup, it may be worth resetting your Voice Control and Alexa integration. Please follow the steps I've listed within the answer in this post:
