OK Until I bought a second Beam, a Gen 2, mid-March 2024 I never had this happen. I always had Alexa active on my Beam G1 and I put it on the G2 as well. To be honest I can’t remember if the Alexa Sonos Skill was always enabled before I bought the Beam G2 and added Alexa to it. Up until now I was able to ask my echo speaker to play a stream such as a radio Station, IHeart or other skill that streams audio; and it would play it on the same device I was talking to. Now it sends it to Sonos automatically. Can I turn this off? Most of the time I like it; would like it better as part of a command only not as a default. Thanks

It sounds like you have Alexa groups setup to have have commands to echos play on Sonos.  Yes, you can setup your groups so this doesn’t happen.
