I say, "Alexa, play DeepTracks [name of station] on SiriusXM in Library [name of speakers]." Alexa makes a deep tone, and nothing plays.

I have the exact same issue. No manner of channel selection seems to work. All the other services are fine. Is this forum monitored by Sonos. If not how to contact them

Hi there, JoelG:

If you go into the Amazon Alexa app does it show the commands you are saying just as you said them? You can find this by tapping on Menu > Settings > History within the Alexa app. Also, if you happen to have a customized name for the room, first try it with a generic room name like "Living Room" or "Bedroom".

Try using channel number instead. Channel name wouldn’t work for me either.

Yes right on, I'm finding Channel numbers lead to least problems??
