Hi

i have a weird issue with Apple Music on a Sonos One

I’ve just got an eero mesh network and reset everything. Apple Music is linked and set as default, as is Alexa 

all synced nicely and can play from Sonos 2 app but when I say “Alex play x” it responds and says “playing x on Apple Music” but it doesn’t play anything. When using airplay through Sonos Alexa won’t pause/skip tracks etc…

any help gratefully received. Thanks
