Sonos, this is outright obnoxious that this still occurs. I have my Sonos Play 5 in my office. There are Echo Dots in the Kitchen and other places. Every time the kids talk to Alexa on any one of the dots anywhere in the house for any reason, it attenutates/lowers the volume in my office. They use the dots constantly for games, music, etc. I can't even listen to music with this obnoxious Sonos Alexa skill enabled!

+21Can anyone confirm that the problem is solved?
Yes works well but you do have some set up work to do, have a read of this thread or the Sonos Announcement that tells you what you need to do in Alexa.
