Switching back to TV audio

I have a Sonos play bar and 2 Sonos Ones for the rear channels. If I say "Alexa, play Billy Joel" while I'm watching TV, it switches and starts playing music. That's great. Now I want to return to the optical input of the Play Bar and start listening to the TV audio again. What do I say to switch it back? The only way I have found is to get out my phone and go through the app to switch it back.
Thanks,
Rob

    Try "Alexa, switch to TV on [room name]" where [room name] is the room name of your Playbar, Playbase, or Beam.
    The S in IOT stands for Security.

    Same EXACT issue!! No way to return to TV audio after using voice commands if you have activated Alexa to play music. My setup is a Play Bar and two Ones in a 5.1 setup.
