If a speaker is off line and you’ve disabled and reenabled the Skill, the next step is to power down your Beam for 2 mins (ish) and then power back on.

I am having the exact same issues on the Sonos Arc with the latest update. Something is broken with the latest update because when I click on Amazon Alexa under the Sonos Arc for voice assiatant, nothing happens.

 

I have tried as well but still not responding to "alexa"...

Sorry, if you’ve tried these steps but it’s worth confirming.

 

If you open the Sonos App and click the gear wheel in the top righthand corner of the screen, then click  Manage next to you system name, then scroll down and select Voice Assistants.

 

Do you see Amazon Alexa listed?  If yes, please select it and if your device is not listed, then please select Add to another product and select the device you want to add Alexa to.

Was your product listed?  If not did you try adding?  If yes, try removing and re-adding on that screen.

Do you mean removing Beam from my sonos?

Do you mean removing Beam from my sonos? 

No.  In the Voice Assistant screen from my post above, is your Beam listed as Enabled within the Amazon Alexa selection?  If not then please select Add another product and select your Beam.  If it is listed as enabled  then  select your Beam and select Remove Alexa and then re-add Alexa to your Beam by selecting Add to another product.
