Alexa is the default as far as I'm aware, it's Google Assistant that was added subsequently. Having gone through the hassle of installing Alexa on the phone though, you're right it does.
Unfortunately switching to Alexa means I no longer have access to my Google Music account. Also hate the bloat of installing extra stuff to solve one specific problem.
Switching back to Google, even after adding Radioplayer as a service it will try to play BBC stations via TuneIn and fail. Can't find any way of changing that.
I love technology, but it ain't half a pain in the tits sometimes.

Despite having reservations about it being strictly limited to streaming (no line-in) I bought a Sonos One last week. Impressed with the ease of setup and audio quality.
Unfortunately I've since discovered it's shit with Android. Literally no way to play most BBC stuff on it. Pretty much reliant on services being supported by the Sonos app.
Am thinking I should've gone with something that either has chromecast built in or just continuing to use my existing chromecast audio via line-in. Google Home Max is an option, but considerably more spendy and I'm not all that fussed about the assistant stuff. Not sure I can be bothered with DACs and speakers as it's only for the kitchen.
Any recommendations?
