Set up a Sonos one a few days ago, was working great, loved it. Got home today and said Alexa play music, but nothing happened. Appears that Alexa stopped working but I’m bit sure why as I didn’t do anything to it. I can still play songs through the Sonos app. I tried eating and reconnecting the Alexa app to no luck. Alexa seems to recognize the Sonos one but just won’t respond to anything I say. I wonder if it is an issue with the mic? Any help / ideas appreciated.

I have exactly the same problem. I have tried the fixes and Alexa has stopped working, completely. My system is up to date.. can anyone help?

OK. So you tried everything suggested. There are two more things you can try. Please read carefully before doing anything.

Option I
1. Unplug all your Sonos equipment.
2. Unplug all devices that use Wi-Fi
3. Delete the Sonos and Alexa Apps from you phone and/or tablet
4. Unplug you Router_wait 30 seconds
5. Restart your router
6. Re-enstall the Alexa App
7. Plug in all Non-Sonos Wi-Fi products
8. Plug in all Sonos products except the Sonos One
9.Re-install the Sonos App
10. Setup your Sonos speakers...except the Sonos One
11. Setup the Sonos One (make sure Voice Services is enabled in the Sonos App)
12. In the Alexa App Go to Skill > Type Sonos in the search Field > Search > Tap the Sonos Skill verify that it is enabled.
13. Ask Alexa via the Sonos One to play music from Amazon Music

Or

Option II
Verify that the LED below the microphone icon on top of the Sonos One is on :8

I am having the same exact issue, I pre-ordered mine and It came the day it released, got Alexa to start working, and then Alexa suddenly stopped responding and never came back on since Friday. I have tried a multitude of things and had been hoping there will be an update, there has not been one... I am on here with the same question, how can we fix this?

Verify that Alexa voice service is active....

Go to Sonos App > More > Settings > Room Settings > Select the Room (Name) you setup for the Sonos One > Voice Services > Sign in to Manage > Type in your password (Your ID should already be visible) > Tap Sign in > You should see Alexa listed as the service. If not therein lies your problem. You'll have to re-integrate Alexa as the service.

If Alexa is already listed then I suggest you call Sonos Support. If you can't reach Sonos Support then I suggest you submit a Diagnostic Report and list the ID number in this forum. To do so....

Go to Sonos App > More > Settings > Advanced Settings > Submit Diagnostics > Submit

I hope this helps!

I finally found a fix. I deleted my Sonos and Alexa apps, when I did this it resent the connection with Alexa and started working again. This sounds thankfully like a software and not a hardware issue so hopefully they will fix it in a patch at some point.

Before you shut off the electricity to your surrounding neighborhood, turn off your main circuit breaker to your house, eventually get to your router and Sonos & Alexa apps:
Try pushing on that picture of a microphone on top of your Sonos One. If the light comes back on Alexa will have resurrected from her absence.
