Sounds no longer outputting

Hello! Sorry for an empty report, I'm not sure what else I can provide...
Running v0.17a, and sounds used to work, but they no longer seem to? Output of the command below - The Alexa lights up as if it's going to do something, but nothing is heard.
root@36ebf502f920:/app# /alexa.sh -d Office -e speak:'<audio src="soundbank://soundlibrary/musical/amzn_sfx_trumpet_bugle_03"/>' sending cmd:speak:<audio src="soundbank://soundlibrary/musical/amzn_sfx_trumpet_bugle_03"/> to dev:Office type:XX serial:XX customerid:XX
I assume, you're using the full version (e.g. not the _plain)?!
In 0.17a I did introduce SPEAKVOL also for the sounds command, but you're running the soundbank in an SSML speak command...
It looks like this only happens when you use USE_ANNOUNCEMENT_FOR_SPEAK="1" which uses the announcement feature of Alexa, allowing output to be received by multi-room devices.
Outputting regular SSML (e.g. a different Alexa voice) works. Only the soundbank command is skipped.
I don't have an explanation for this, it's either not supported or we're still doing something wrong.
Right now your only option is to set USE_ANNOUNCEMENT_FOR_SPEAK="0" for this type of command.
Makes sense - Thanks @adn77 (Confirmed - Using full version, not plain. Works without USE_ANNOUNCEMENT_FOR_SPEAK="1", groups stop so will work around it somehow...)
