I currently have two Play 1's and Playbar and Sub. If I were to purchase an echo dot to go along with my system. Would all audio play through my Sonos system or only music? From what I have been reading it sounds like only music services will play through the Sonos. If I were to ask Alexa something like, "What is the weather going to be like today?" Would the response play over my Sonos speakers or the Echo Dot speaker?

Only music services will play over the sonos speakers. So no, the weather update won't come over Sonos.

I found the need to tell Alexa to play music through the Sonos first super annoying. I was also bothered by the fact that all audio did not go through Sonos. So I am returning the Echo Dot and the Sonos Play:1 and am getting the Sonos One with Alexa built-in. Problem solved. I have another Dot in another room. I will get a speaker with an Audio input and connect the dot directly to that one. Cheaper than buying two Sonos Ones.
