Can't turn the mics on on a pair of Play One (Gen 2)

I can't turn the mic on on a pair of Play One (Gen 2) speakers. The mic light is not on and no amount of poking, swiping or stroking of the mic logo will get it to turn on.
My system has 2 other sets of paired Sonos One (Gen1) units hooked up to it through a Boost plus a Beam paired with two Play 1's. There's a pair of Play-5's on the system too and I'm wondering if there's a conflict??? All the other units fitted with mics work with Alexa ok, just this latest set doesn't.
I've removed the speakers from the system and started over again with connecting them (several times in fact), with no joy. In all other respects the speakers work fine regardless of whether I use the Sonos app or the Alexa app. This pair just won't respond to voice commands.
