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

After trying every other fix, and having reset everything possible, this was the only solution that worked for me. Thank you.
