het gaat over de google spraakassistent

De spraakassistent doet al meer dan een jaar helemaal niets. Hij hoort mij niet en geeft dus nooit antwoord. Irritant Moderator Edit: Google Translate - The voice assistant has not done anything for more than a year. He doesn't hear me and therefore never answers. Annoying

Google Assistant

Hi all, I'm in the UK and in the process of setting up Google Assistant with my Arc. In order to play music I need to select a default music player in Google Home to associate with the Sonos. I would like to select Sonos Radio as my default source rather than YouTube Music but I can't find a way to select it, either in Google Home or via the new Sonos app. Would someone be kind enough to assist? Many thanks

Sonos Beam Gen 2 and Google Assistant

I have just purchased a Sonos Beam Gen 2. I do enjoy the sound but cannot connect to Google Assistan. I notice over the last week or so, others have a similar problem. I have tried using the ‘bot’ and email with no help at all. I am a newbee and was wondering if anyone knows what’s going on? Is there a solution? or are we waiting for a fix from Sonos? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank

Sonos UNREACHABLE from Google HOME

Whenever I try to link google to Sonos I get that SONOS IS UNREACHABLE error. This has been ongoing for the past 4 days since I got my new device. At this point I am better off returning it and sticking to another brand of speakers.

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.

koppeling met Google assistent lukt niet

Ik heb Sonos losgekoppeld van Google assistent omdat al lange tijd de spraakbediening voor de tv niet meer werkte (verder alles wel). Nu lukt het mij niet meer om te verbinden. Ik kan het hele programma doorlopen maar Google lijkt de beam of One Sl niet meer te vinden. Wat zou dat kunnen zijn? Moderator Edit: Google Translate - I disconnected Sonos from Google Assistant because the voice control for the TV no longer worked for a long time (everything else did). Now I can no longer connect. I can go through the entire program but Google can't seem to find the beam or One Sl anymore. What could that be?

apple music and google

Since this still has not been enabled I assume sonos will not be doing this ? Not a great look from Sonos, it works on other Google enabled speakers. What's causing the issue ? Will Sonos update this or do I have to change to Spotify which is a shame as apple music is far better and has Atmos

Sonos and Google Home mess

As I see multiple people in the community having issues with Google Home and GA connectivity, please Sonos get your stuff fixed. The status page states that the google services are up and running but they are not. I have rebooted every device, router, phone, made sure that every piece of software is up to date and I still can not connect to GA or Google home. System diagnostics code *******. This really makes me wonder combined with the app issues over the last year if Sonos is still worth buying as the usability of the platform has been going downhill. Moderator edit: Diagnostic number recorded and removed

Google Assistant/Home Not Available in your country – Let’s Get This Fixed!

I’m a proud owner of the Sonos Beam (Gen 2), and I absolutely love the sound quality and the overall experience. However, I can’t help but feel frustrated that Google Assistant/Home integration is not available in Israel. This is such a widely used feature globally, and it’s disappointing that Sonos, a leader in smart home audio, doesn’t offer support for it in my region. What’s even more frustrating is that other major brands in the smart home and audio space have no problem supporting Google Assistant here. For Sonos, a company I deeply respect, it feels like a real gap—and one that I believe could be fixed with enough community support and feedback. I know this issue isn’t limited to Israel. If you’re from another country where Google Assistant isn’t supported on Sonos, I encourage you to join this discussion. Let’s bring attention to this issue together and urge the Sonos Engineers and Product Managers to expand Google Assistant support to more regions. Sonos, your products are fan

Sonos Beam Gen 2 not compatible with Google Home or Assistant

I have just purchased Sono Beam Gen 2 two days ago from a retailer in the United Kingdom. I have been trying to add Google assistant to my speaker for hours and what I got from the Google Home app is Sonos is linked … and then something went wrong please try again… I have chosen Sonos because of its compatibility with Google Home. If this is an ongoing/existing issue, the product should not be or never be advertised as compatible with Google Home. Can someone tell me or confirm if Sonos is violating any consumer law and it provides false information? Last who can I reach out to for a product refund? Retailer said only accept a return with unused/resalable condition..and the packaging of Sonos obviously wouldn’t allow the product to be unused… Sonos team would you advise please??

why can we still only Use a single voice assistant??

Voice control and smart home > Google Assistant and Sonos > Enable both Alexa and Google Assistant I found another thread, locked 4 years ago, asking the exact same thing, no answer them either. Back then someone mentioned that Google and Alexa with others had a partnership now to allow smooth seamless integration across multiple devices and should be with Sonos soon .. That was 4 years ago. I have many smart home devices, all of which are linked to both my Alexa and Google voice assistants at the same time, and yet, my Sonos speakers are still incapable. I had to reinstall my Sonos app today in a troubleshooting effort with Sonos support because the most recent update ( it's November 2024 as I write) has failed to include the lock screen controls as well as failing to include the notification ( drop down) controls so you can only control the devices through the app if you have the app fully open and taking up your whole screen. As I was checking the settings in the re-installed app, I

Google Assistant > Sonos > Pandora station play broken

I’ve used Google Assistant to control Pandora (default service) playback on Sonos amps for years with no real issues. So when I asked google assistant to “Play Led Zeppelin Radio”, Sonos played a Pandora classic rock radio station based on the music of Led Zeppelin. All was good in the world 😀 However, in the last few weeks this capability is broken. Now when I tell google “Play Led Zeppelin Radio” what I get is a queue filled with some songs by Led Zeppelin and other random unrelated songs with the words “Led Zeppelin” in the song title from every genre possible. See the attached image. The command works properly when the google device is not connected to a sonos speaker. EDIT - More Info: I have the same issue on Sonos Arc (built-in google assistant). The problem goes away if I change the default music speaker of the google mini to itself (i.e. disconnect the mini from Sonos). But the problem returns when I make a sonos speaker the default player for the google mini. What is happeni

voice commands acts differently on Sonos One and Sonos Move

When Move has been updated it can not understand command’s from Google anymore. When I use One I just say (in Swedish) Hey google, play P4 - which is the radio station I normally listen to. Move will not understand. Keeps asking for which unit. There is only one system I have. Speakers are on different floors, so they can not over hear commands. Any idea why this lack of understanding has been introduced? Why not the same commands work the same on all products?

Two identical systems found when linking to Google home. Only two of four devices added when selectingg either

I have been having issues controlling my Sonos system via Google assistant. I decided to unlink and readd Sonos to Google home. When doing so, I am presented with two identical systems, with no way to disringuish one from the other. I only have 4 speakers all under one system, so don't understand why two show. Oddly, if I select one it only adds two devices. If I unlink and try with the other, it only adds the other two devices. Anyone have ideas on what the hell is happening here? Thanks Eds

Loss of Google Voice in New Sonos Products

I am really disappointed the new Sonos speakers no longer include Google Assistant integration. It seems the legal battle about patents got so bad new products no longer include Google Assistant. I had a Roam die and they sent me the new version that does not include Google Assistant. I need home controls in addition to music control. So Sonos voice is really sub par. I hope Google Assistant integration comes back.

Sony tv control via Beam using Google Home

Hi Community I am using Beam which is connected vie ARC to my Sony Bravia VH21 (Google TV OS) and Google Home for my smart-home (both Sonos and the TV connected to Google Home). In the Google Home app, I can see two devices for Beam: Sonos Beam - works well. Sonos Beam TV Control - it constantly appears as offline. In the past, it used to be in online status, which I could use to switch-on the TV (via ARC). I have been trying to fix this and search for articles about the problem but can’t find anything. Can anyone share advise on how use Beam and ARC connection in order to switch on the TV? Many thanks

Sonos systems can no longer play news through Google Assistant?

I have a Sonos One and Sonos Arc, both with Google Assistant set up on them Prior to about a few months ago, I could ask Google on either Sonos system “What’s in the news?” and it would play my chosen news source (WSJ) Now, when I ask Google on either Sonos Device, it says “Sure now playing the news!” as expected, but immediately jumps to “That’s all for now” without playing the news audio in between. This implies the command is being received and parsed, but something is wrong with receiving the audio stream for the news itself. Why this is a Sonos problem and not a Google Problem: I also have a Google Nest Audio on the same network, that when I ask it the above, will properly play the news. This confirms its not a home network issue, and not a Google issue, as the Google Assistant on this device as well as my iPhone can properly perform this task. How do I fix this problem?
