Sonos has shared a video on how to enable smart ducking. Cannot get it to work because the Alexa app does not have the settings they show in the video. Can you provide written instructions?

    that included speaker as you showed in your post above. But it didn't solve the " not ducking problem" until i deleted my original group. Then my sonos speaker started ducking perfectly. Thanks to both of you.

    Smilja, two more things
    1. Now that my dot and sonos ducks properly,
    with the new group, I need to add room to the command . ex: alexa play music in (room). for ducking to work.
    2. How did you create/ use the pictures of your instructions in your reply to me?
    Best regards
