Saying Alexa Twice

I realize Alexa is still "public beta," but I wanted to share my experience. When getting the Sonos One's attention after not using it for a while I find I have to say "Alexa" twice. Once I've given it a command, I only have to say "Alexa" once for it to respond. Several commands in a row are responded to immediately. Leaving the room and coming back some time later, I have to say "Alexa" twice to get its attention again.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I've certainly noticed that I need to say Alexa twice or more at times to get the attention of the device. I've not noticed that it's just when I haven't used it for a while. It's so much less sensitive than either Echos or Dots.

Same exact thing here. Have to say Alexa twice for it to respond. It's annoying. Can it be fixed?
