My room is very long, now I have to shout all the way across when I'm at the other end of the room.

View originalAny status updates on this? Really want this fixed!!! Also bunch of feature requests around this like being able to quickly switch between surround and individual control of the speakers.
Though I've not tried it, I understand that you can get GA onto the right speaker by:
This didn’t work for me, unfortunately. Tried it five times now.
I have a 5.1 set up with two Ones as surrounds.
I removed the surrounds, added GA just on the right one and then re-added both as surrounds. Once they were re-added, neither had GA working on them; I had to add the service again. When I did that, it only added to the left one.
I also tried removing the surrounds, adding GA to both and then re-adding them as surrounds but, again, had the same issue.
I know it’s not a big global issue or anything, but the right One is closer to my groove in the couch!
Same problem as everyone else. Bought the beam and 4 ones. First find out you cant pair 4 ones with the beam, only 2. So so set 2 up the ones as surround and found out the mic's are disabled when used as surrounds. So had to disable surround and use them as stereo pair and then find out the right mic is disabled in stereo pair.
Why did I pay so much for smart speakers that cant be used as smart speakers. And what kind of speaker system is this if they can only be setup individually to take advantage of smart features. Lastly 5.1 configuration have been around for decades and even that has issues?

If you set yours up in a 5.1 config using a Beam, Sub and two Ones as surrounds, is it the Beam that has the mic active?
Just asking because I have a Playbar, which doesn’t have a mic, so my left One surround ends up being ‘it’ in a 5.1 set up.
I would actually be pretty happy if the central sound bar could be the one with the active mic - it’s in the middle, after all… To be honest, having too many speakers with active mics in a small area gets a little annoying for me with Google Assistant since you can’t control which one is going to answer. I end up trying to talk to my One in the bedroom and the One in my ensuite bathroom answers and plays the news!
Yes, the Beam’s mic would be active in the 5.1 configuration.
