Question

Alexa no longer hears me on my new Sonos One...

So, I set it up and all worked great. Now though, there is no response when I say Alexa. I have tried diffent commands but it’s like the mic isn’t working. The Sonos still works with the app. I can’t work out how to factory reset the thing? Does anyone know how?

    Brillian, UKMedia, that did it! 😃 I performed factory reset on the One and before re-setting it back up, I removed the Sonos skill from the Alexa app and deregistered the Sonos devices.

    My guess is that since I had received and initially setup the One before I received my first Alexa device (an Echo Plus which just shipped), some unrecoverable bug was hit which prevented the microphone from functioning (and/or proper Alexa integration). Order matters?

    In any event, thank you!!

    Perhaps its asking too much, but the existence of a microphone button would be welcome information to a newby like me. My cleaners apparently touched the top of my new Sonos One, and the microphone stopped working. Only after poking around and seeking help on this forum did I learn that there IS a mic power button. No indication anywhere else that I can find. After reading the responses above I picked up the unit to examine it and accidentally turned it back on. I miss the days when a product came with a description of the controls.
