Sonos ARC TV control is not responding/offline in Google Home

I’ve added the Sonos ARC to my Google account.It does show up as Sonos TV control, as expected, however, it can’t be used as it toggles between “Not responding” and “Connecting” and never goes through. I can’t use it to control the TV.The internet connection is stable, I’ve also tried connecting the speaker using an ethernet cable but the result is the same.I’ve created a short screen-video to show how it looks like:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdsQh0A4woc I’ve found this topic from a year ago which seems to be the same issue, but it was closed for comments without any solution

How to disable the, "start sound" for Google assistant

I want to disable the "start sound" that sets of when I say "Hey Google".Obviously I want to have Google assistent activated, but the sound annoys my girlfriend. I found how to do turn the sound of in Google Nest products (se link below). But I don't find how to do it on my Sonos products (or if it's even possible). I'm guit sure it's possible because a friend that I belive had Sonos as well had managed to deactivate this sound. https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7410241?hl=sv&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid

Google Assistant not responding properly

I'm using several Sonos with microphones; Move, Roam and One. Move and Roam work fine, however when using the One, the trigger word is fine… but then I need to scream rather than talk for the Sonos One to react. Anyone an idea how to deal with this?

Sonos One + Google assistant + Deezer now broken?

Hello all Sonosers ;-)  Requesting your thoughts.  My configuration is: Sonos One + Google Assistant + Deezer Premium.  Has been working great since I installed it 1 year ago.  Typical usage: “Hey Google, play some rolling stones”, etc.  Yesterday Google refused the command, saying the current device does not support Deezer.  Tried upgrading all software, hardware resets, reinstalling all software.  When adding Deezer to Google Assistant, setup says “Continue with unsupported music service? Deezer is not supported on this device...”.  I have no problems streaming from iPhone Sonos app + Deezer to Sonos speakers.  Has anything important changed within the last week?  Stay safe everyone.

now Google Assistant officially supports the Russian language (beta is over)

now Google Assistant officially supports the Russian language (beta is over).  Please add Russian language support to the list of allowed for Sonos devices in Google Assistant.  We have already written that this language works great on the forum, and it should not be long and difficult to implement.  Everyone who uses your products in Eastern Europe and other countries in Europe, America and the world will be grateful to you.

Google Assistant + Trueplay on Roam

Hi there! On Automatic Trueplay page it is written that If you’ve added the Google Assistant to Move, Auto Trueplay will be disabled when Move is in Bluetooth mode.Does the same relates to Roam (not Move)? Which actually means that I will not have Automatic Trueplay on my Roam as far as Google Assistant was added.  Thank you in advance, Oleksii,

Sonos Arc and Google Assistant: trouble linking

Hi all,When I try adding Google Assistant to my Sonos Arc, I encounter the following error messages from the Sonos app and Google Assistant respectively. I tried removing all the music services in my Sonos app and signing out of all my gmail accounts as suggested in some of the other posts, as well as installing (and uninstalling) the Google Assistant first before adding the voice service to the Sonos App. Could someone help me? Sonos support tried to diagnose the problem for an hour but we have yet to resolve it. Thank you.

Selling devices with Google assistant support in countries where it is not available

Sonos devices are becoming increasingly popular in Russia. Sellers widely advertise the ability to manage Google Assistant as a competitive advantage. However, they do not say that Google Assistant is not available in Russia. I found out about this only after the purchase and this may be not only a reason for a refund, but also a lawsuit.There is no point in selling devices with a voice assistant in Russia, since it is not supported. Customers pay money for voice control but can't use it

Google Home - Google Assistant - Sonos - Voice Match - Broadcast voice messages

Hi, i would like to use the Google Assistant broadcast voice messages with voice match in my Google Home family.The Google Home family has Sonos speakers and Google Home Minis.I want to use the Broadcast voice messages with these Sonos speakers. And i want to active voice match for every family member.The problem is, that my Sonos Account is set up in the Google Home Family and the speakers are only belongs to my Google Account. The Sonos speakers are not shared to the other family members. So, if you start a broadcast voice messages from the Google Home mini the message is only played on a other Google Home Speaker and not on a Sonos speaker, because the Google Home minis are shared in the family but the Sonos speaker not. There is a setting in the Google Assistant App. There you can see that all speakers appear in my Google Account. The other family members only see the Google Home Minis. The Google Home Minis are shared in the family, but the Sonos speakers are not.The question is,

Playing Apple Music through Google Assistant on Sonos

There seems to be a really old thread on this where Sonos stopped responding, so I thought I would follow up - any update on being able to play Apple Music via Google Assistant? This feature has been available for Google Assistant for a while, and I think Sonos may be the only speaker that doesn’t do this in the market. Any update?

Google Assistant too loud and too sensitive on Arc

I have set the volume of my Arc to 50% for watching TV. For music this would be way too loud, but the level of TV sound is lower somehow, so 50% is just right.However, this also influences Google Assistant - the replies are very loud as well, and what’s even worse, the microphone is ultra sensitive! Seems like this is also adjusted by the overall volume.The Arc is in my living room, and I have a Move in my kitchen. Both speakers are ~20 ft apart (including a wall), but when I am in the kitchen and try to give a command to the Move, the Arc replies :-( Sensitivity is already at -2 for the Arc, and +2 for the Move, but that doesn’t help. I know that the Assistant volume cannot be set separately, but for the Arc this would be absolutely necessary...

Disable Google Broadcast on Sonos Move

We keep our Sonos move outside in our backyard.  Unfortunate we've discovered that all this time we've been broadcasting from our other Google devices to the whole neighborhood because of this.How can we turn off the broadcast function on this one device without having to disable Google Assistant altogether?

Support for Apple Music with Google Assistant

On this repeating topic, can someone at Sonos please explain the progress and likelihood of Apple Music working with Google Assistant? I’m still getting the message that Play 5 is not supported and surely this is something that should have been resolved by now.

Can I use Google Assistant to add another speaker when one is already playing?

I have 3 Sonos speakers: Kitchen, Great Room (default), and Sunroom. When I start playing music through Google Home it defaults to Great Room. Can I use Google Assistant to turn off/on one of the other speakers? I know that I can do this through the Sonos app but I’d like to be able to do it via voice.

Google nest ‘Lower volume when listening, feature not working with Sonos

I use my Sonos as the default speaker with my Google Nest. Music can be controlled on the Sonos by the Google Nest, no issues. However, the Google Nest feature ‘Lower volume when listening” does not work with my Sonos. This is very annoying as I have to shout Google commands when music is playing on my Sonos speakers. Ive tried re-lnking my Sonos speakers with Google Home, I’ve update the Sonos software to the latest. Is there a fix for this ?
