I wonder why there is so difficult to include an option to turn the ambient or full surround sound off while playing music? Sometimes I think this just sounds bad. Great system otherwise. Would also love to adjust surround speakers while trueplay is active.
Stereo, why is it so hard?

Does the Surrounds on/off toggle in Settings/System/(room name)/Surround Audio not suffice?
I wasn’t sure here, if the OP really meant to say they wanted the option to switch off the main HT Soundbar (player) instead, as they do go onto mention being able to TruePlay Tune their rear surrounds only.
I’ve seen that request put here before in the community, where a user wants music playback through two wider and separate surround speakers only and their request was often answered by a suggestion of buying the new Sonos Amp instead, which would not only provide them with wider stereo separation for TV and music audio, but the speakers would then be out in front for the ‘sweet spot’. ...(and I guess it could also be behind too, if using two Sonos Amps).
The option, as
If affordable and practical, it’s sometimes perhaps far better to add two further Sonos speakers out in front as a separate Sonos Room for stereo music audio, which I presume, is what Sonos would like us all to do anyway, from a sales perspective. I would certainly do that with my Sonos Beam, if I could ever play (in lip-sync) the front left and right TV audio channels through both those “out in front” speakers too.
