Stopping Google News Playback

I ask the Google Assistant (GA) on my Sonos One to ‘Hey, Google… Play the news’. GA plays my news podcast playlist. When I say “Hey Google….Stop” or “Hey Google… Stop playing the news” or anything closely related, it won’t stop. Previously I was able to stop the playback by hitting the Next/Pause button, but now it only act as the ‘Next’ button, taking me to the next story. I tried to change the playback to the weather - “Hey Google...what is the weather today?” GA plays the weather, but after, starts the news playlist again. The only way I can get the news to stop is by unplugging the device and plugging it back in. Come on Sonos. You’re better than this. I consider you a ‘near luxury-class’ product which means you should always get it right. I used to have the $20 Google Home speaker in the same room….on top of my Sonos. I really don’t want to go back to those days. The only thing I can think of that may be the issue, the Google Home in the next room or on my phone may be

Google Assistant with Polsce

Witam, Czy używanie google assistant albo Alexa w Polsce jest możliwe ??? Nie jestem w stanie tego ustawić i jest to ogromna utrata wartości jak chodzi o system Sonos gdyż płaci się premium za to że głośniki obsługują voice ???

Sonos Beam a Google Assistant

Good day. Sonos Beam + Sub and Sonos One. I use Google Home Nest Max. In the Sonos app on iOS, there is no Google Assistant option in the Services and Voice, Add Service section. Why? Thank you for your response. Miroslav

Google assistant only works partially on Move (no Sonos specific commands recognized)

I just set up Move with google assistant. GA recognizes the device and I can say “turn volume up/down” etc and it works. However when I say “pause music (on move)” GA says nothing is playing although it actually is. Also, cannot start any playback from Sonos (eg. TuneIn radio station or my playlists). GA says it needs more info. So GA seems to recognize the device but not Sonos.I have removed and re-installed GA and Move (factory reset). I have tried re-linking my Sonos account to GA. No change. Any suggestions please?

Using CR200 controller with Spotify

I want to use a Google hub as a voice controller for my legacy play 5s, for which I also use a cr200 controllerunfortunately, google doesn’t talk to my Amazon prime account, so that is no good as my music source.I added Spotify (free) account to Sonos and google and voice control is working, on my cr200, the Spotify button now appears, but I get a message saying my Spotify account doesn’t support the controller. (Amazon prime music works fine on my cr200) is the reason it doesn’t work due it being a free account- ie will it work with Spotify premium- or is it like Sonos radio - it won’t work whatever ?

Sonos One Voice Recognition

Hello,I have just purchased a Sonos One Gen2, I am very satisfied with the sound quality.I am however disappointed with the voice recognition capability with google assistant. The speaker picks up the "OK Google" relatively well, but then it hardly ever understands what happens next other than if I'm close to the speaker or if the sound is very low.Can you tell me why the speaker is picking up OK Google but not more? Is there a way to check if there is a configuration problem?

Two different Spotify Accounts on my Sonos Move with Google Assistant?

I have a Sonos Move and I am using Google Assistant. Now that there is Voice Match, how do I get my Sonos to hear my voice to use my Spotify Account and get another voice for another Spotify Account? The way we log onto the Sonos is through one account right now but seem to only be able to use one Spotify account for both people.

Not able to play new song on Spotify with Google Home

I have connect my Play:1 with Google assistant and am frequently using my Google Nest Hub to start songs, control playback and volume. But one thing never works, asking it to play another song."Play SONG 1 on Sonos" Works like a charm, but if am currently playing as song and say something like:"Play the song SONG 2"I get the following response:"okay, playing SONG 2 on [name of my Sonos speaker]. I'm sorry that mode isn't available right now" So obviously Google Home is recognising that I'm currently using the Spotify service on Sonos but something (on the Sonos side?) is stopping it. What?

Sonos 1 + Google Assistant + CBC World Report Playback cuts off early

Hello! I have a Sonos 1 in the kitchen where I use Google Assistant for music, news and Spotify playback. Music works fine and plays back without issue but we often have an issue where podcasts and specifically CBC World Report playback cuts off early, usually around the same point every day with the speaker stopping the stream mid-sentence after about 4 minutes and instantly announcing “That’s all for now.”All devices updates. No issues with wifi or internet. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Endre høytaller (paret i stereo) Google Assistant

Hei,Jeg benytter Google Assistant på mine Sonos One som er paret til stereo. På grunn av små barn i huset har jeg måtte flytte den ene høyttaleren. Og nå står den som tar i mot kommando til Google Assistant litt dumt til. Er det noen måte å endre det slik at venstre høytaler er den som tar i mot kommandoer til Google?
