Sonos will not skip songs with alexa

Alexa says she cannot play the next song when asked to do so. This is a sonos problem because other alexa devices will skip when asked. Only sonos devices wont skip. Sonos and alexa seem to respond correctly to all.other requests, weather, timer, play music etc.

    OKAY I THINK I GOT IT. RIGHT NOW THE SITUATION IS RESOLVED FOR ME.

    I deregistered my sonos devices with Amazon on BOTH the Alexa App AND in my Amazon prime account. Deregistering on the alexa app is not good enough, deregister with amazon on the web or through their app.

    I then uninstalled and reinstalled sonos app for good measure. In the sonos app i selected Amazon as a music service (my sonos is already alexa voice enabled/embedded) from there it asked me to reauthorize the amazon account for music. I had to link my devices to the amazon music account again individually.....so far so good. She is skipping aongs and acting normal...for now.

     

    Good luck everyone.

    Thank you Sonos for contacting me to let me know the issue is fixed. Roberto Di Sisto has been keeping me up to date and thank you again.
