It’s almost pointless to report new bugs with Google Assistant on Sonos these days, but for the benefit of those still using this combo:
Google has new problems identifying which speaker to respond from if you have both Sonos and Google Home speakers in the house. The microphones are sensitive enough to pick up “Hey Google” from a couple of rooms away, but the multiple pickup is normally resolved by timing to identify the closest speaker. Lately there seems to be a new delay between Sonos and the Google servers, because now frequently a more distant Google Home speaker responds before Sonos, which belatedly chimes in with its own duplicate response. Sadly Google has never implemented alternative wake words to replace the tongue-twisting “Hey Google”, so there is no way to resolve this except to speak quietly.
