different speaker groups

I have just setup an arc ultra and have added my existing fives as surrounds…..

my question is when I play Spotify, all speakers, arc and fives play music…..

I don’t want that, I just want the music to come out of the fives

You can set the Surrounds to Full Mode and adjust the volume to get more sound from them, not what you want but the best you can do if keeping them as surrounds.

Best to remove them as Surrounds, then configure them as a stereo Pair and add 100s or other small Sonos as surrounds.

You need to un-surround them then.

Yes, this is not ideal.
