Speaker group and Alexa

I have several sonos speakers throughout my house. Before the update I was able to group my speakers in my Sonos app (example: TV room) and tell Alexa to play music in TV and it would play on all the speakers that are grouped with TV room. Now when I say play music on TV room it only plays on the one speaker. How do I get Alexa to play on multiple speakers with one command?

    Grouping has changed to include Alexa groups. You can now group using Alexa defined groups like "Downstairs" or "Great Room". You can also assign an Alexa device to a group/room so that you do not need a room designation to make it play, and only that group/room will duck. This is far more powerful than before, but it takes a little setup. See this link for more discussion:
