I am having a party with a lot of commotion going on and would like to somehow disable the microphone so Alexa is not accidentally prompted. On my echo I can simply press the microphone button but not the case here. Prefer not to remove the Alexa feature because I still want it for my other sonos devices in other rooms.

Yes, you can turn the microphone on and off:


The Microphone indicator on the Sonos One
Touch to turn the microphone on and off.

- When the light is on, voice control is on and you can use voice commands.
- When the light is off, voice control is off.
- When the light is off, you can still use voice commands. Just press and hold the mic button to talk to Alexa. When you release, voice control turns off again.
