Take a look at the home assistant voice preview device.
It has a 3.5mm jack out to connect to better speakers. You should be able to integrate some aspect of audio playback.

Can I play music on this device?
Yes, if you plug an external speaker into the 3.5mm audio port.

We recommend using Music Assistant to control music playback.
