Alexa announcements and routines

No solutions yet, @Ish33. Can also confirm that announcements work on Moves. So it’s only the ones 2nd gen that do not work. I’ve removed and re-added them to sonos, still no luck. 

So I went into the Alexa app and found my unit said do not disturb. I turned it off and it seems to be making an announcement. I also did de-select announcements and then turn them back on. But I think it was the do not disturb in the Alexa app that was the issue. 

Only my Sonos Arc and Sonos One Gen 1 appear as Announcement devices but NOT my Sonos One Gen 2!

Something must be wrong with the support of the Sons One Gen2!

Having this same issue. 
Bought a Sonos One Gen 2 expressly for routines for my daughter.
Everything else is working, voice commands, say, music out the old Plays.
But announcements from the routines do not come out any of the speakers.

Verified do not disturb is off.
Reset speaker, re installed and connected Alexa app.
Wondering if i should return this one and try again.
Speakers and app are both updated to the latest versions.

Could try! But I have about 5 of the One Gen 2 as standalone speakers or in pairs and none of them work unfortunately. It’s literally the only speaker of the sonos lineup that doesn’t work. Moves, arcs, beams, they all work and will announce properly off of routines. 

That is truly unfortunate. I guess I will be returning it and getting a couple dots to put around instead. I cant justify getting a more expensive speaker for just routine annoucements.
Really odd, you would figure this part of the software would be standard across speakers. I wish there was some other options.

Any update on this? There are now multiple people reporting the same issue. Was hoping for some traction on this.

Just had this happen in the past week; a good-morning routine that’s programmed to turn on my lights and report the time and weather suddenly stopped giving me the time and weather announcements. Playing the routine from an iOS tablet’s Alexa app appears to work.

Updated to add: the routine appears to work as intended on an old 2nd-generation Echo Dot, but not on my Sonos One or my Sonos Beam. 

I am having a similar issue. I just purchased the Era 100 and have connected Alexa to the device. When I try to run my nighttime routine, it doesn’t work. On my Amazon devices I used to say “Alexa, goodnight” and it would set to volume 3 and play thunderstorm sounds by sleep jar. On my Era device, it acknowledges that I say “Alexa, goodnight,” it adjusts the volume, but it doesn’t play. If I say “Alexa play thunderstorm sounds by sleep jar” it plays. It’s just the routine that doesn’t work. 

Not great on the software!  I have an original Echo device, 4 A100 older Sonos devices (2017) and 2 new A300 Sonos devices.  Alexa Announce will ONLY work with the A100 Sonos.  But you can program an Alexa Says to a Sonos A300.  So … I still cannot get Alexa to speak a phrase on all devices.  That’s 5 of 7!!!!  Why on earth would the older Sonos A100 work, but not the New A300????  Sonos is going backwards!  Let’s fix this issue.  Announce should work on all that comes with Alexa built in!  Shocking.
