Hi @werdas, welcome to the community! The microphones will be disabled on voice-enabled products like Sonos Ones used as surround speakers with a Sonos Beam and Sonos Arc home theater setup. This ensures that the Beam/Arc is the only device in the room to pick up your voice commands, improving reliability. Let us know if you still need anything. Thanks!

What about if they are paired with an ARC SL that doesn’t have the microphone for voice control?
