That would be exactly what the problem is. You will probably need sighted assistance to turn them back on, maybe Be My Eyes might work. I should suggest to Be My Eyes that they approach Sonos and see if they are interested in participating in their program where you can connect to their tech support via Be My Eyes, then somebody could probably direct you to press the correct spot on top of the speaker in no time. Also, I highly recommend you ask a sighted friend or family member to halp youput some tactile markings on top of the speaker so you know where to press for volume, play/pause and where the button is which mutes the microphones. I must say Sonos should have thought of this and 3-dimensional markings should have been put there as part of the manufacturing process, it could have been done in a way that it wold not have taken away from the clean look they apparently wanted, just a slightly raised circle for play/pause and a greater than and less than symbol for volume up and down and maybe a square or an X for muting the speakers. Marie, if you don’t have anybody you can ask or don’t use Be my Eyes send me an email directly to siegh...@live.ca<mailto:siegh...@live.ca> and we can set up a time for a Facetime call and my wife can see if she can direct your finger to push the right button. In the meantime, I just asked her to show me and the button to toggle the microphones on and off is right in the middle and almost at the very back if you are standing in front of the speaker. So, stand in front of your Sonos One, put both hands on each side and near the back, then try to touch in the middle and maybe a fingers width from the back edge. If you hear the sound Alexa makes when you ask it something it’s not the right spot, if you hear another sound, more like a two-tone gurgle (not sure how I can describe it) you hit the right spot, just keep saying “Alexa” and see if there is a reaction. I would also make sure you first play something and pause it using the app because if you touch/tap and the music starts playing you are way to far to the front, the play/pause is also in the middle referenced from the left and right edges, but much further to the front of the speaker. That is also where volume up and own is, to the left and right of play/pause, but not nearly as far in the back. Feel free to email me or you can call me using Facetime Audio and the email address I gave above, at least I can listen and tell you if you hit the right spot.
