Move 2 loses Google Assistant

I was quite frankly shocked that the new and improved Move 2 actually has diminished functionality compared to its predecessor. It’s jarring to discover that a new generation of technology is less integrated, less compatible and less useful. Like many in this community, I’ve set up a vast wireless system complete with several smart devices and Sonos has always been an integral component to controlling the entire system. I hope that this will be resolved, otherwise perhaps the original Move and all of the older Google Assistant compatible Sonos speakers are the better solution. This is a real shame since great audio quality is what we’re here for, but not without the utility we’ve come to expect from Sonos. Thanks so much.Perry

Google Assistant - Vanished and cannot be added back on Beam (Gen 1)

As of November 20, after a long power outage of 12 hours, I noticed the following:Google Assistant (GA) vanished - first noted with inability to turn on microphone, verified on Sonos App, on the Sonos Beam Gen 1. Any attempt to re-add GA via either android or ios fails with different symptoms depending on the OS.    Android will not be able to locate any google assistant capable device in the ‘google assistant’ phase post linkage (SSO/OUTH) between google ↔ sonos;  IOS will get there error message ‘There may be a problem’.   Verified no former linkage exists in Google Home. I added / removed the SONOS voice control successfully so the Beam is not mechanically challenged.I’ve reviewed threads, cleared the beam to factory defaults and rebuilt, rebooted the router / sonos devices, all to no effect.   All Sonos devices and controller are up to date.   Still, no ability to add Google Assistant to the beam.I’ve seen an email thread from three months ago that the GA feature / addition is curr

Sonos not available with GA. Sonos Beam

I have a Sonos Beam that I am trying to get working with GA. Have followed all the instructions added GA within the Sonos app. Gone into GA and checked names, set default speaker etc.Beam/GA recognise voice commands as it comes back and tells what it is going to do. Then it comes back and says it looks like Sonos isn’t available. Doesn’t mentioned the name of the speaker I have told it to play through. Have tried renaming the room and speakers within Sonos App and GA. Always the same Sonos not available.At the moment I only have Sonos speakers in one room. A Beam and two One SLs. So wouldn’t have thought much scope for confusion as to where it was supposed to be playing.any suggestions. Family is so used to using GA to stream audio in other devices I would like this to work.

Sonos with Google Assistant not playing music - responds but then silence

So today I ran into an odd issue with both my Move and Roam, when I go Hey google play XXXX on Pandora. It will respond playing XXXX on Pandora, then silence. Same thing happens when I say play XXXX on YouTube music. It will response playing XXXX on YouTube music and then silence.If I go into the app on my phone and select what to play, it will start playing on the speaker.Losing the ability to have music play via voice command just started in the last day or so. When asking the google assistant about weather and such, it will respond as expected. It seems to be just with playing music currently.I’ve tried rebooting the devices, no change. I removed google assistant from the Move and no difference. I’m not sure if this is stemming from a larger issue I’m having with Sonos and google assistant where when Pandora is playing I can’t use voice commands to like a song, again I need to go into the app to do this.

Roam and Google Assistant

Hi, I have purchased a Roam today which is supposed to support Google Assistant. It is the Roam, not the Roam 2, and even has the ok Google branding on the box. When I go into the Roam settings, under voice assistant, it only has 2 options, Sonos Voice Control and Alexa. The instructions say it should show me Google Assistant as well. Am I missing a step somewhere? Thanks

Volume level not set properly via Google Assistant

For some months now I’m experiencing an issue when asking Google Assistant to set the volume of our speakers/rooms to a desired volume. This does not work properly when asking to set the volume to either level 3, 5 or 10. The other volume levels seem to work okay though, as per below list:“Hey Google volume 0” : room volume is correctly set to 0% “Hey Google volume 1” : room volume is correctly set to 10% “Hey Google volume 2” : room volume is correctly set to 20% “Hey Google volume 3” : room volume is incorrectly set to 3% (instead of 30%) “Hey Google volume 4” : room volume is correctly set to 40% “Hey Google volume 5” : room volume is incorrectly set to 5% (instead of 50%) “Hey Google volume 6” : room volume is correctly set to 60% “Hey Google volume 7” : room volume is correctly set to 70% “Hey Google volume 8” : room volume is correctly set to 80% “Hey Google volume 9” : room volume is correctly set to 90% “Hey Google volume 10” : room volume is incorrectly set to 10% (instead of

Sonos Move and Roam and broadcasting

Hi all, I have a google assistant set up on my system and it looks like I can broadcast from my Move and Roam but I can’t here the broadcasts from them. I’ve tried setting up the ‘default music speaker’ under the sonos app which then loads up the google assistant app.  But it doesn’t work.Is there something I’ve missed?

Google Assistant making Arc volume go to 100 despite what I tell it

As the caption reads, I have an issue with the Google assistant making the volume go to the max setting despite what I tell it. For example: if I say “Hey Google set the volume to 9%” the volume will be set to 100 and then I have to scramble for a remote so I can lower the volume quickly.  Despite the volume level I set the Sonos to via the Google Assistant, it’ll always set it to 100%. I’ve removed and re-added the Google Assistant and that fix only works for 1-2 days. It’s really irritating that this is going on and it’s incredibly inconvenient as well. Makes me want to throw away the entire Sonos setup I have and go with a comparable setup from Bose.  Sonos….get it together already.

Era100 - Any timeline to get support for google assistant?

Hello, after few hours of research, I eventually came to the conclusion that google assistant is not supported today on Era100. - https://support.sonos.com/fr-be/article/set-up-the-google-assistant-with-a-voice-enabled-sonos-product this is really disapointting, I expected that feature set when buying the devices. Anyway, damage is done.I read somewhere that it is on the roadmap to support it, can you share any ETA? that would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance

impossible d'ajouter l'assistant google à ma sonos roam

J’ajoute une Roam neuve sur mon système existant, elle est bien reconnue.Lors de l’installation de l’assistant google, après m’avoir demandé d’ouvrir l’application Google Assistant, j’arrive sur un écran d’attente avec une roue qui tourne et qui me dit que ça va prendre quelques minutes, me propose de réessayer ou d’annuler.Ca n’aboutit jamais, par contre parfois, en revenant sur l’écran de gestion la Roam, l’assistant Google apparait comme installé. Et là je peux appuyer sur le micro et la led s’allume, mais il ne fonctionne pas.Et au bout de quelques minutes, ou si je l’arrête et que je la rallume, il est à nouveau non installé. Des solutions ? Moderator edit:Google Translate- I add a new Roam to my existing system, it is recognized.When installing the Google Assistant, after asking me to open the Google Assistant application, I arrive at a waiting screen with a spinning wheel that tells me that it will take a few minutes, offers me to try again or cancel.It never works, however some

google Assistant just stopped working

Since Yesterday I have lost Partielly then completely all connections to Google assistant.It stated from 1 of my Sonos One, then it extended to a Roam.... I restarted my router and all devices but no joy.It king of worked with e Roam for a minute then went south again after I reconnected a One...Removed all links to Google assistant in Sonos and Google Home.BTW, Google Home only sees a few Sonos devices, not all of them.... Odd.I have then tried to add the service back but it just never manage to do it First attempt after phone reboot takes me to home assistant config and it ends-up not finding any device.If I try again, the Google assistant never shows again, there seems to have a hidden window of it but nothing I do can make it show. I tried this on 2 different android phones, same results. I am now stuck with no assistant at all. Alexa won't activate and So is assistant just did not want to finalize the setup either..… Seriously WTF is goi g onnat SONOS. The giant  connected speaker

Sonos One (Gen2) & Google Assistant not working - Dec 2024

Problems here too with Sonos and Google Assistant.  I have 2 x pairs of One (Gen2) and an ARC with 2 x One (Gen2) surround.All OK until yesterday when Google Assistant stopped working on both pairs of One - remains silent when `Hey Google` spoken, as if it’s not listening.    Tried reconnecting account in Google Home - no difference.In the Sonos App (Android) under Voice Assistants, the rooms containing the pairs have disappeared and when I try to add them back in the process starts, but then keeps saying `try again`.The Arc still works fine, so having read lots of reports of Google Assistant problems I’m reluctant to try Unlinking the Sonos account in Google Home.Very cross as we use voice to control multiple lights, heating etc. and we’ve invested a lot of ££ in Sonos!!

Google Assistant volume no longer linked to system volume

Hi, recently the Google assistant volume on my Sonos One has become unlinked to the volume control of the speaker and is now currently too loud. I know for certain this is a new issue as this is my bedroom Speaker and it all of a sudden is deafening, and the volume of the voice does not change whether the speaker volume is 1 or 100. Can you please advise?

Anyone Get Amazon Music Working With Google Assistant?

It appears that Amazon Music is now supported with Google Assistant and Google Nest devices.Has anyone got them to work together on their Sonos speakers?It’s almost like I’ve got them halfway working together with my Sonos Beam. Google Assistant recognizes some commands but not all. What’s also weird is that if I check my Google activity, it doesn’t show the commands I’m requesting.However, if I use my Google Assistant app on my iPad and ask it to play an album or song on my living room speaker, it works perfectly and show the command in my Google activity.This is what I mean by it’s working “halfway”.Perhaps Sonos themselves aren’t aware Amazon Music hasn’t been added to Google Assistant which is why it might not be work correctly.
