How can I just turn ducking off completely? I don't care if Alexa doesn't hear me sometimes. Sonos is my computer speaker, its so annoying having youtube videos duck in volume when I give a command.

    So it actually does work Ryan, keeping the Sonos as defualt speaker but removing it from the room group means Alexa won't duck that speaker anymore and even at high music volumes Alexa still picks up my commands, so ducking is kinda redundant imo

I would have to keep shouting rather loudly for my Alexa device to hear my utterances, if the audio in the controlled/enabled group didn’t duck their output.

    Well each to their own would rather shout than have my sonos mute YouTube for 15secs when I give commands
