Trying to integrate my 4 sonos speakers with my alexa app and its just not working. I search for devices as instructed and my nest heating is appearing as are my hue bulbs but no sign of sonos.

I have updated both the sonos and alexa apps.

Anyone any thoughts?

I had the same issue. Here's how I managed to re-add the speakers.
First, I changed the names of all my speakers from say "kitchen" to "my kitchen".
Then I disabled the skill, re-enabled and started a new device discovery. Nothing.
Then I changed the names back, and suddenly they were discovered upon rescan

Just to check the obvious: did you add the Sonos skill to Alexa?

Hi everyone. Alexa control for Sonos is only available in certain countries, so if you're not in the US, UK or Germany, this isn't supported at the moment.

A few steps to work with are here.

Also, make sure that all Sonos devices and software are on 8.0. Check under Settings > About Sonos in the Sonos app. Your players will all show the version number. Make sure to check each device, not just the app.
