Suddenly alexa is not working with my voice enabled Sonos Speakers S1 app

I am using the S1 app for my Sonos speakers.  Recently my voice enabled Sonos speakers are not working with Alexa.  I can control my speakers in the S1 app but not with Alexa.

When I look at the Alexa app the voice enabled Sonos speakers are showing offline.

  • I have disabled and re-enabled Sonos Skill in Alexa
  • Alexa does not find any devices when I re-enabled Sonos skill in the Alexa app
  • I have removed and added Alexa voice enable to each speaker
  • I have powered off and on the speakers

Did something change?

Hi @gduncan3595 et al

We have released an update for S1 that we believe addresses this issue. Please check your system for updates and test. If you continue to see this issue after updating, we recommend you get in touch with our technical support team for assistance.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi @gduncan3595 

Thanks for your post!

We are aware of an issue affecting functionality of Alexa on S1 Sonos systems. We are investigating, but do not have an ETA for a resolution.

You can, however, cease troubleshooting - nothing you can do will help.

We will post here when there is an update.

I am glad I found this thread.  I also spent (part of) two days, and several hours trying to reset devices, reset Alexa, all various different methods and ways, to no success.  I had added a new type of Alexa device and thought perhaps it was somehow related so that was a wild goose chase of wasted time as well.  ETA would be nice…, and spreading the word on twitter/x or other forums as well.
