Sonos just....stopped working

So I tell Sonos Alexa to play a SiriusXM channel for me today and am suddenly told that she can’t do that and to check my account for instructions on how to link my account with Sirius.  

This had been working fine for a few months!

 

Bonus:  My Sonos phone app doesn’t work anymore either.  When I go to SETTINGS, the “Account”, “System”, and “Services & Voice” menu options are greyed-out and unclickable.  

So I can’t actually do ANYTHING with this buggy speaker.  

This is beyond ridiculous. I now own a $250 paperweight.

    Please boot your router and then power down the Sonos device for 1-2 mins then power back on.  Please let us know how you get on.

    How I get on what?   I just use the ON button for Sonos.  Have wireless router, blah blah blah that isn’t the problem, as all other devices are working fine.

    Sonos keeps telling me to go to my Alexa app and that she’s allegedly sent instructions to said app for linking.   But she LIES!

    Why did this suddenly stop working?

    Please open the Alexa app and Disable then Enable the Sonos Skill.

    I went to Alexa app anyway to “Enable the skills” that Sonos Alexa has suddenly forgotten.  

     

    But, predictably, all skills are still there in the Alexa app and enabled.

    Did you do as I asked and Disable then Enable?

    The Alexa app will not permit me to Disable the Sonos skill. 

    LOL this is actually amusing at this point.
