None of my Ones are working with Alexa today. They can stream using the Sonos app. Other Echo devices are working with Alexa. Anyone else having this?

    Same problem here. There will no doubt be lots of new alexa being set up so probably overoading this systems temporarily and will be back up and running soon. No biggy!

    This is affecting my Sonos Beam as well. I've tried factory reseting, to no avail. Thanks for the Sonos status link, that is helpful.

    My Beam is suffering the same problem. Still persisting after I removed the Alexa Sonos skill and went through the setup again. I set it all up a few days ago to avoid techno-angst on Christmas morning so it’s a bit disappointing. Alexa integration isn’t completely broken - I can tell one of my Echoes to play music on the Sonos, so I think it’s just a glitch in the Voice Service. At least theTV ARC interface is working along with my Play:1s in their new role as surround speakers. So, shame about the glitch, but I love my new Beam!

    Having the same problem with Sonos One. Finding it very frustrating as the Amazon devices just work all the time yet the Sonos is so temperamental.

    I had the same issue when I got my first One at Christmas last year. I put it down to everyone unpacking and setting up the Alexa devices they had for Christmas. Later on in the day, everything worked fine. Maybe go have a mince pie and a cuppa, and try again later? :8

    Ttiming not good as others have said and a shame. Look forward to some regular updates to manage expectations for what I suspect may be a somewhat larger incident than the status currently suggests ie. degraded perfornance.

    One Sonos one and two beams having this issue today. In the UK. Glad I found this thread will wait for someone to fix rather than me spend hours resetting the system to find it wasn’t me in the first place!!

    Same here from Spain. My Sonos One was working with Alexa until last night. Today switched to English and only says "sorry, I am having problems..."
