Can I play a Sonos chime sound without interrupting my music?

Configuration
1

Hi, I’m currently trying to play my doorbell sound through Sonos. The “classic” method works fine and interrupts my music (it snapshots it beforehand and then plays the doorbell sound).

When I’m using just TuneIn, this method works well.
However, it doesn’t work with music streams from, for example, Amazon Music.

In that case, my music is not resumed. With regular TTS announcements, this works differently, as the music volume is only reduced and the text is overlaid.
Is there a chance to do the same with the doorbell sound?

ChatGPT and I don’t know how to proceed with this. :slight_smile:

Yes, just play the media using the announce flag set to true.
