Just set up a Sonos one with Alexa and whenever she talks there’s a lot of static in the voice. I’m not noticing it when playing music as much if at all.

Turns out it was a factory defect and they had me return it and sent me a replacement. The problem is the replacement is a refurbished one and to be honest that’s not acceptable. I paid for a brand new one and now have a used one with nothing knocked off the price. Who do I contact to get a new one instead of a used one? Just totally unacceptable to think that would a be a reasonable exchange.
