Fix for Error 'Sorry Something Went Wrong' when attempting to play music using Google Assistant

I had a problem with Google Assistant on my Sonos One and Beam. I was unable to play Pandora Music on my Sonos by saying ‘Hey Google….’.  My Sonos App was working and if I used the App, I could play my music.  However, If I said, ‘Hey Google, Play Beatles Radio on Pandora’, the reply would be, ‘Sure, Playing Beatles Radio on Pandora’.  This was immediately followed by, ‘Sorry, Something Went Wrong’.  Previously, I had no issues.  Now, every time I tried, I got the same reply.  So, I did the following:

Restart Google Wi-Fi Network

Factory reset of Google Wi-Fi Network

Re-installed all of my Sonos products

Re-installed Google Assistant on my Sonos products

I repeated the following several times over a period of 2 weeks.

I contacted the Chat function of Sonos and they had me uninstall and reinstall Google Assistant.  Google Assistant worked fine, with the exception of the request to play Music. I was given a ticket number and told to call the following day (I chatted on Sunday, the technicians work Monday-Friday)

Finally, I tried deleting Pandora Radio from Sonos.  I reinstalled Pandora.  That worked!!! I don’t know why it started to act up in the first place, but not it works fine.  I hope this helps for those who may have a similar problem!

I have the same issue with YouTube Music using Google Assistant, but unfortunately uninstalling both GA and YTM hasn’t worked.

Pretty disappointed with Sonos, expected the technology to be reliable.
