Sonos beam not playing/sending broadcasts

I was not able to broadcast from or to Sonos beam with google assistant. Suggestions on similar threads have been not effective in solving the issue. I got said there are no speakers associated with this account, in response to tentatives to broadcast from Sonos beam.The solution is to have exactly the same address associated with the Sonus beam and google home account including street number. Originally they were a little different.Once I set the same address the issue is solved.

GA responding on multiple Sonos speakers

Just to be clear I’m not asking about duplicate responses on Google speakers, or Android devices. I have an open floor plan. On one end I have a stereo pair of Ones (dining room). And on the other end I have a Beam in a surround setup with a pair of Symfonisk (living room). When I’m standing in the middle (kitchen) and use the Google Assistant both rooms respond. (Beam in living room and a One in the dining room.) Even if I walk up to the Beam and whisper, still both respond. The devices are about 35 feet apart.I’ve experimented with grouping and ungrouping the speakers, and that doesn’t make any difference.What’s weird...is that upstairs I have a One in my master bedroom and a One in the master bathroom. These are about five feet apart. When I use Google Assistant there, only one will respond. I’ve never had this problem and it doesn’t matter how the speakers are grouped or ungrouped.I’ve been using GA upstairs on my Ones for a long time. Today I decided to add it down

Sonos devices missing from Google Home/Assistant

Hiya. Has anyone experienced issues with Google Home dropping Sonos devices? When I open google home it does not list all my Sonos speakers. what is odd is if I unlink Sonos and reconnect to Google home it lists a different subset of my Sonos speakers - or has connected to some it wasn't previously connected to and dropped previously connected ones! So it can see them it just is not consistent.Ihave a similar issue with Assistant in that it won't connect to all available (those that can work with assistant) - if I tap on voice settings in the Sonos app it shows the other devices as untucked but when I select them and it launches Google Assistant it says it can't find any devices.

Google home mini default speaker

I have a Google mini and a Sonos play:3 in the same room. Since the play:3 does not have voice, I have to ask the Google mini to play the music. If I just say: "hey google, play some music" the music plays on the mini which is definitely not what anyone wants... I have to say the room where the speaker is but not only that, if I setup both speaker in the same room the mini still gets the job. You can set default media playback device for the Google mini but no Sonos speakers can be selected. Is that it? Is that what we waiting so long for? Cause if that's so, I'm getting rid of all of this and just getting Chromecast enabled speakers. Please let me know I did something stupid and this can be fixed.

Can't set up Google Assistant on Android Go device.

I am trying to set up Google Assistant as my voice assistant on my Sonos One. During the setup process in the Sonos app, I am prompted to download the Google app...but the Play Store gives me an error when I try to install the Google app. My phone has the Android Go operating system installed...and Android Go devices contain the “Google Go” app rather than the “Google” app.Is anyone aware of a solution or workaround to this problem? I just bought my Android Go phone for the sole purpose of setting to set up my Sonos One, so I don’t want to buy a second additional phone. I also have an older android tablet that has the Google app installed, but it won’t let me install the Sonos app...whereas my phone lets me install the Sonos app, but not the Google app.

Verbal feedback when shutting lights via Google Assistant

So I'm a huge sonos fan, and recently upgraded to the Beam, which is my first sonos device with Google Assistant support.One thing that google has improved is reducing how chatty the google nest mini is when you turn off lights. You can see them turn off, so having it tell you that it turn them off is a bit over the top.I noticed the Beam does the old behavior of repeating back which lights are being turned off.I'd love to see the Beam updated to not do this.More Info:https://support.google.com/googlenest/thread/10509024

Two speakers with google assistant unable to play different music on different speakers with Spotify

I’ve gotten my daughter a sonos one so that she can play her own music (she doesn’t have a mobile of her own yet so speaking to the speaker felt like a good solution). However any music started from google assistant takes over my music in the rest of the house. Has anyone configured their system to allow for two speakers connected to google assistant that can play different songs on different speakers simultaneously? I use Spotify family subscription and separate accounts. Can anyone point me to the solution?

Grouping Sonos Speakers through Google Assistant

Hi, Is it possible to group speakers through Google Assistant? For example saying “Hi Google, play x in the kitchen and the living room”. It doesn’t seem to work for me.

Anyway to add Google Assistant to the right surround speaker (sonos one) instead of the left?

I have set up a Sonos surround system (Playbase + 2 Sonos Ones) with Google Assistant. I would like the Google Assistant to respond out of the RIGHT Sonos One surround, but at this time I believe it is not possible. I have tested and tried every combination of setting up the speakers without success. When the Sonos Ones are not paired as surrounds to the Playbase, it is simple to add GA to either of them. When they are paired as surrounds, the assistant can only present in one of them--which is understandable as the system recognizes the three speakers as one unit. The default speaker Google Assistant is added to is the LEFT Sonos surround. There does not appear to be a way to change this. I originally thought it may be defaulting to a certain speaker due to a naming preference--like it a naming appearing first alphabetially. This is not the case--I tried every combination of unpairing and renaming the devices and testing. I thought perhaps it was a case of a preference for cert
