Hi Andyfido

If you open your Sonos app and look at your Music Sources, are your Amazon & Spotify accounts listed? If they are listed, can you play Spotify or Amazon Music through the app to your Sonos 1 or is it just Voice Control that isn't working?

You need to add you Amazon Music account to the Sonos app:

Your Alexa account and the your Amazon Music must be the same so the Amazon Music account shows up in the Alexa app. Also, set Amazon Music as your default music account in the Alexa app:

Hi andyfido, were you able to get in touch with the team earlier? If you're still having trouble we'd like to get you working with one of the team to dig into the system there with you.

Do you mind sending me in a private message your email or any reference numbers you might have from working with us in the past? I don't see any tickets associated with the email that you're registered to on the site here.
