TV playbar vs Sonos speakers in the other rooms

This may have been answered elsewhere but I can’t seem to find it. 

My problem is when we turn on the TV all the sonos speakers go on and the sound is weird because it’s coming from other rooms and creates almost an echo sound. I have to go into my sonos app and deactivate the other speakers to let us hear just the playbar.  Then later when I want to listen to music I have to go into the Sonos app and reactivate the other speakers.  It’s cumbersome - I’m sure there’s another way.  

What I’d really like is for the playbar to activate when the tv is on and only the playbar.  The other sonos speakers should activiate separately when I want to listen to music.  How do I separate them?

Go to your Playbar settings and enable “Ungroup on Autoplay”.
