Beam and a Pair of One SL and Airplay

I’ve seen similar talk a few year back but nothing recent. Is it not possible to Airplay a Beam when it is bonded with other speakers?

 

the suggestion seems to be to Group them instead but I’d have no proper surround if I do that. I’ve seen the explanations on the older Playbar etc but my three speakers are a day old and are sold as AirPlay compare ale with no mention of that being disabled when using them bonded.

Are their any ways around this at all?

You can use AirPlay 2 to a Beam, whether or not it has surrounds makes no difference. But, AirPlay 2 is stereo, not Dolby Digital, when sending from an Apple Device to a non Apple device. You won’t get surround from the bonded speakers, only Ambient or regular stereo, depending on what settings you have set up in the controller for those speakers.
