Hello All,
Just a quick question here. I just set up my new ERA 300s as rears for my ARC and sub. I currently have Alexa enabled on my ARC. if I enable Alexa on my Eras as well will that negate the functionality on the ARC or will Alexas response be played through both the arc and the eras. thanks in advance for the help
Hey
When voice-enabled speakers (such as Sonos Era 300) are added as Surround speakers to a voice-enabled soundbar (Sonos Arc), their microphones are muted.
They are also not considered individual speakers, but rather a part of a Home Theater setup / room in the Sonos App and they can’t be targeted by Amazon Alexa.
I hope this helps.

Is that true?
The mic being disabled on surround speakers is no longer listed as a limitation for surrounds.

The speaker that picks up the voice command most clearly will be the only one that responds.
Thank you
There are no limitations, but that is considering Sonos Voice Control and Amazon Alexa are installed.
I had a further look into our documentation and what I mentioned with the microphone being muted is if you have Google Assistant setup - which is my setup at this point.

So it would also be possible to use Google Assistant on a Sonos One surround when this is used as surround with an Arc Ultra?
