"Add sonos to a Google Group” using a chromecast

Add more 30 bucks to your set up and add a google chrome cast so you can group you Sonos to other google speakers. It works like a charm. moreover you have the nice presentation of the current playing song on tv.

Only one Mic works on a stereo pair of ones with Google assistant?
Answered

Is this normal? If so this is awful. It's exactly why I've never been able to use them for surround sound with the beam and alexa. My room is very long, now I have to shout all the way across when I'm at the other end of the room.
