Google Assistant Beam with Sony TV

I have a Sony TV that has been connected to Google Home. Just added a Beam surround system to the TV using the HDMI-ARC cable. In the Google Home menu, the TV is listed, the Sonos system is now listed, and a new device is listed that is the TV linked to Sonos (the device has a much longer name). Is there a way to link the existing TV to Sonos and delete the new device? Thanks for your help.

Google voice service setup with sonos for 2 systems/

Hello all, I have 2 Sonos systems in 2 different locations. I only use Google Voice service. I'm really disappointed when I switch from one to my other system (House).Sonos recognize the other system where I'm connected to. But I cannot set up Google Voice with Sonos app config.I'm always obliged to enter into Google Voice app and then make recognized the new system, and at the end I come back to Sonos to setup the link Sonos for each of my product to Google Voice.It's really f...g process!!!! How do you manage that? Why is n it automatic???Thanks?

Latest s2 update problem

HiThank you very much Sonos for this.My system was working perfectly fine until last week one of my speakers (bookshelf) started acting up. Since I have a wifi extension I wondered where it was connected exactly so I decided to reset it.I boot my tablet, (android 7 working perfectly well up to then), and it says: “there is an update for sonos app”. And idiot that I am i hit “update”….it took a while to update and me wondering why …..Surprise!!.The new piece of whatever refused to add a new speaker because “android 7 is no longer supported” And I haven’t been able to find the previous version of S2 to just stick with it.So as the double idiot that I am I go and decide to buy a new tablet with android 10.And what now?Yes, I can now readd my speaker to the system.But this thing comes with something called Google Go. And you can’t delete it. You can disable it but Google play doesnt care. It’s still there and GP refuses to install “Google LLC” instead. Why is this important you ask?Becaus

sonos one alarm and timer with Google

For at least a month now, when I set an alarm on my Sonos One using Google Assistant, Google says the alarm is set, the alarm goes off the following morning, I ask Google to turn it off, and as soon as it turns off, the chime for the timer starts and then I have to ask several times for Google to stop the timer. Software is up to date on the speaker. No updates available. Help? I just want the alarm chime when I set an alarm.

Sonos Products dont connect to Google Assistant

I am trying to setup google assistant on my Living Room setup (Beam +2xOne) and my move and always get the same Error message in the Sonos App: “There was a problem adding Google Assistant”. Initially it was working in the living room, but in the process of figuring out where the problem is I destroyed the link somehow. I did remove the sonos devices from google home and tried again, i restarted the systems… just dont know what else i can try. Christoph

Sonos playing music when I speak to Google Assistant in another room

My Sonos Roam is on a shelf in my office. If I'm in another room in the presence of a Google device (Home or Home Mini) and ask it to play music, the Google device answers me but the Roam, in another room, plays the music. The Roam isn't responding to the query directly, but somehow it ends up playing the music anyway. How do I stop it doing that, so the music will come out of the speaker that's responding to me? This didn't happen before I had the Roam (eg the two Home devices didn't steal audio from each other). I had considered turning the Roam off as a workaround, by holding the power down for 5 seconds, but after a while it always turns back on again by itself so that's not a solution. Any ideas gratefully received!

Sonos showing up under 'Airplay and Bluetooth' instead of alongside Google home speakers

Help!If I go to cast music from my phone and tap that cast icon, my soundbar+sub doesn't show up in the list of devices, but rather, only if I further tap the 'Airplay and Bluetooth devices'. You might be thinking, well yeah, you didn't set it up in Google Home. Yet, I did, and when I go directly into the Google Home app, I can see it listed there among my other speaker devices.It seems like I have to choose between soundbar+sub (via 'Airplay and Bluetooth devices') or my other speakers (Google Home devices). How do I get the soundbar+sub to show up alongside my other google home devices when I go to choose which devices to cast to?Is it possible that Airplay somehow claimed ‘ownership’ and I need to disable the Airplay connection and reestablish the connection only via Google Home (somehow?). I’m grasping at straws here.Please and thank you,Keven

Google assistant functionality on Sonos is dead!

Hey gents,I own a lot of Sonos products, i have stopped counting. We, our familie have always loved these products. But today, we did somthing we should have done a long time ago. We disabled the build-in Google Assistant in all our Sonos products, and put up a Google mini and set the speakers with the disabled Google Assistant as the default speaker. So thank for the extra power consumption and the extra taken power-outleds in these harsh climat and green times….. But! This has brought peace and balance into the entire house again. Everything works perfect with this setup.And i don´t care what and who says this is a Google issue, or Sonos issue. This product was put on the marked with a build-in assistant that Sonos choose, so the complaint goes to Sonos.This functionality worked perfect some years ago, slowly it degraded with from understading slobby voice commands, to you must have a masters degree in correct linguistic. A very short example could be to tell it to play music: “Ok go

Google Voice Command: BBC Radio 4 on Sonos Roam.

I recently bought a Roam and added the Google Assistant. On all my other google assistant enabled devices (non Sonos) I can ask for BBC Radio 4 to be streamed and it works. If I ask the Roam for the BBC Radio 4 stream I get BBC Radio 4 Extra from Tunein.I have the BBC Sounds Service added to my configuration. All the BBC streams on Sonos come from Tunein. Only hand crafted BBC Sounds shortcuts work natively on Sonos as I’m set up at the moment. Tunein is still available as a service.I know BBC Sounds is still in pre-view too. Is this the problem and should I be more patient :-)

Sonos Beam & GA - Controlling Volume

When I ask GA to increase volume indeed increases it. But only by 1%, which is not perceivable at all. So if I wanted to go from 20% to 30% I would need to ask it 10 times! This should be much more rapid, like 0% (muted), 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% or even 0, 5%, 10%, 20% etc. Similarly If I ask GA to “Set volume to 5”, it sets it to 5%, not 50%. Is it a recent bug, something that will get fixed soon or Sonos feature?

Sonos and Google Assistant not working

My Sonos system and Google Assistant used to work fine. But now I can’t get my Beam to connect with GA, and my One just tells me, there’s a problem when I try to activate GA. My Move seems to connect but there’s a huge delay in answers. I’ve rebooted my Sonos system and reconnected all my units. I’ve sent you a report 776108334

Sonos 5 can't connect Google Assistant endless loop

I’m not able to connect Google Assistant to my Sonos Five and Sub (3rd gen). Per the instructions, I’ve linked my music (Spotify) to both Sonos and Google. I also confirmed the Five supports Assistant The instruction page from Sonos shows clicking on Assistant in the Sonos app and then it opening Assistant to complete the setup. Instead of the GA setup page, I get a “Set up Google Assistant” help page which tells me to go to the Assistant App to connect it When I go to the Google Assistant app and link or reconnect my Sonos account, it connects successfully. I can cast to my Sonos but GA doesn’t recognize it as a device I can add When I go to the “Devices” section in Assistant and Home, it only shows the Google devices and Assistant eligible and doesn’t show the Sonos. I get the exact same process on both iPhone and Pixel 7 ProI called Sonos to help and the rep said “It’s a Google problem so call them” which is less than helpful answer. Anyone have a solution to this?

google assistant on beam does not function

I'm not sure if other assistant enabled devices have this issue, but the Google assistant on the beam has become pretty useless.I've set the default speaker for the beam to be the beam itself, but I still have to say what room/speaker I want the music to play on.If I ask to skip the song, or change the volume, I get the response "something went wrong". Even with voice match and Spotify premium, getting a playlist or most music to play only work about 40% of the time.The only way to make things work is to use some other Google home device to handle commands and set the beam as a default speaker.Does anyone else find the beams assistant integration lacking? Is there a fix?

Google Nest-Sonos

Hoi, ik heb (1xSub/ 2x One S2 / Arc gen2. Voorheen gebruikten we een Playbar deze is nu vervangen door de Arc. Voorheen als er op de Nest doorbel werd gedrukt kwam er door een van de One speaker een melding. Nu is het zo dat de ARC(volgens Sonos )de master is en het geluid via hem komt.

Als daarna de tv word aangezet schiet het geluid van 15 naar 70%-zitten we gewoon tv te kijken en er belt iemand aan, dan schiet het geluid weer naar 70%.We hebben gebeld met de klantenservice van Sonos, en voor hun ie de makkelijks manier hierin "stuur maar terug naar Polen".

Google Assistant whispers

I have a couple of stereo-paired Sonos Ones that play music all day in our living room. Google Assistant is installed and up until a couple of weeks ago, worked flawlessly.But now the GA’s voice is a whisper. I haven’t touched the volume of the music playing and so far GA has been responding perfectly, but now it whispers.I’ve looked everywhere for an option to adjust the volume of GA but can’t find any. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the GA and rebooted the speakers many times, but nothing has helped.Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)/Thomas

Google Assistant will not play Spotify on Beam.

Hi, I have set up Google Assistant on my new Sonos Beam, which works OK. However GA will not play Spotify on Sonos. I have set up Google Assistant in the Sonos app, and logged in with the same Spotify premium account on both the Sonos app and the Google Home app. I’ve even signed out and in again on both apps to be absolutely sure. But when I ask Google assistant to play Spotify on Beam, it claims that I have not signed in with the same premium account on both apps. I use an Galaxy S10+ for setup. Any ideas?

David (SONOS) and Goliath (Google): The future of Casting Music (and Video)

I have a 5 zone SONOS system and I am not a YouTube music user and do not intend to be one. Too damn many subscriptions already. And the app is terrible for accessing the 10,000 songs I have on the SD card in my phone.However, I AM interested in casting the music from YouTube videos to SONOS, and ideally, have the music go to SONOS speakers and the video go to my TV. There are thousands of great YouTube music videos that I want to watch and listen to via SONOS.The real problem here is obvious. It’s a battle between David (SONOS) and Goliath (Google) for domination in the streaming music business (both on-premise and via the web).Sonos is a good size company and they are a pioneer in high quality whole house synced music streaming….but we all know how this is going to go. Google is already winning the protocol battle and SONOS will be forced to add that to their system (for a price of course).Non-Google apps and streaming services could choose to support SONOS and Google Cast but o
