I can't find this listed anywhere. Does anyone know if the video source will remain active from the HDMI source even if the audio source changes (e.g., play spotify music, etc.)?

Yes, I had this working yesterday. Just play music from sonos app while TV is on and the music will take over the audio whilst still showing the tv picture.

I can confirm that this works, but what I’ve not been able to do is switch the sound back from music to TV by voice control, I have to use the Sonos app.
Does anyone know if this is possible please?

Just stop the music either by voice or on the app and the TV sound will take over again - it takes a few seconds to switch back to TV
Or you can mute, then unmute the TV. As long as 'Autoplay TV' is set to on, the TV will take over when the unmuted audio is sensed.
