Google Assistant and Sonos

Hey! I have run into a problem with my Google Assistant (G.A.) on my Sonos One (Gen 2).The problem is the fact that it does not respond to any command or query I provide, yet it does always perfectly register and acknowledge me saying “Hey/OK Google”. I have gone online already in search for answers and I have noticed a lot of users with very similar stories to mine. All the fixes listed in those listings, I have already tried. I have already checked if everything is linked properly, language settings are in order, I have fully deleted G.A. from the speaker and reinstalled it to no avail. It never fails to recognize me activating G.A. but the light comes on, stays on, sometimes flickers, and still does absolutely nothing! Has anyone else run into this problem and did manage to fix it? 

Ik zie onze Beam en 2 Symfonisk 2 maal in Google Home. Ofwel 6 ipv 3 toestellen. In GoogleHome krig ik alleen een optie om ze te ontkoppelen, maar dat ontkoppel ik de verbinding met Google voor alle. Geen succes dus. Andere ervaringen of oplossingen?

L’assistât Google refuse de trouver la si os alors qu’elle fonctionne…je suis sur iPhone iOS 14.0.1 help !! 

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

My Sonos Beam and Move products don’t recognize my routines that I have set up in the google up. Can anyone help me fix this?

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?

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.

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

There have been a few posts on this, but I wanted to add another one. Please integrate with Google Podcasts!

Will Sonos ever allow my Sonos Speakers to be added to my Google Home Speaker Group? I have my Sonos One speakers in my bedroom working with google assistant, and able to play my Spotify play lists through google assistant commands, and that is a huge improvement. However, I have all my other sound systems in the whole house working together through a google home speaker group I named “All Rooms” - EXCEPT SONOS. I cannot add them to my speaker groups in the Google Home app. If this is a marketing decision, I think it will backfire, since apparently the other companies are allowing it. I hope there is either a trick I am missing, or otherwise a software patch will correct it. Ideas?

Hi,Having an issue playing Spotify using google assistant on Sonos arc. Says Spotify premium isn’t set up on the Sonos app. The same Spotify account is set up in both Google assistant and Sonos app and I have tried several times removing both google assistant and Spotify and still says that the Spotify premium account is not set up on the Sonos app. I can use the sonos app to play music via Spotify and can use the Spotify app, works fine, but when using voice it doesn’t work. I can play Spotify via voice using any other speaker, just not Sonos.Any help would be appreciated.

we are trying to use google home to control a brand new sonos amp connected to a set of in ceiling sonos speakers, but the google home mini does not recognise any instructions for the device, any tips?

Hi all, If I am not mistaken, Voice Match doesn't seem to work on the Sonos One. Is Sonos thinking of implementing it? Thanks

I’m thinking about buying a Sonos One to replace my google home. I would like to know if the Sonos One can accept the following voice commands seamlessly: "Hey Google, play What's Up by Miles Davis" (using Google Play Music) and "Hey Google, play Seventies on Seven on SiriusXM" (using SiriusXM)

Hi,2 things hopefully able to be fixed:Listening to sonos with higher volume on the day and then asking with Google Assistant later, e.g. switch the lights of. Is very annoying. As Sonos repeats with the last volume set very loud.Either a separate volume for voice assistant or a scheduled maximum volume set would be important.IFTT does not work as well because I can only set to a specific volume what could potentially increase the volume while watching TV.The second wish would be scheduled activation of the night mode.Thanks,Lukas

Question about multiple rooms all using Spotify streams. When a Spotify stream is started, starting a Spotify stream via the app in another room cuts off the first room. The reverse also happens, playing a stream via App cuts off all Google launched streams.Why? This doesn’t happen if both rooms are started via the app - parallel streams work fine. The Spotify account is a Family Premium Account. The devices are all Sonos (Play 1, Beam and One).

Since S2, I no longer seem to be able to say Play BBC Radion 2 in the office.  Google replies with “OK, BBC Radio 2 from TuneIn. Playing on Office” followed immediately by “Sorry, I can't find what you asked for”  If I say “Play some Queen in the office” I get “Playing the album Greatest Hits on Spotify…” and that works fine.  Playing Tunein from the app also works OK.

I was about to pull the trigger on about $12k to wire whole home audio, with Amps powering a bunch of in-wall/ceiling speakers + ARC/Sub combo in the family room. The idea was to have multiple zones in the house, but also create groups for multi-room audio controlled by Google Assistant. We’re an android house with Google Assistant powering our smart home ecosystem. Is there a way for me to get Google Assistant to play audio across multiple zones using voice control?   If not possible with Sonos, any idea on how to achieve this?

I’ve been having trouble with erratic responses from GA on Sonos for days, and now it’s completely broken! I eventually tried the last resort of unlinking and relinking my Sonos account to Google. Now I can’t activate Google Assistant on my Sonos speaker at all. Google sees the speaker just fine, and can play music to it. The Sonos app sees the speaker just fine, and can play music too it. But Google Assistant won’t link to it - Google Assistant just says that it couldn’t find the Sonos speaker, even though Google Home is playing music to it right now. Just as a test, I added Alexa instead. Installs quickly and works fine. The fault is between Sonos and Google. Returning to GA, I finally got it to find the Sonos speaker and install after about 25 tries. But it’s still not functional. It either gives no response or says “something went wrong/there was a glitch”. If I tell Google to resync devices, the Sonos speaker beeps and makes an announcement. But it quickly returns to unresponsive

Please help. I've been waiting for this, and now when Sonos controller tries to connect to Google Assistant, no devices are found. I have unplugged everything, restarted phone, tried several things and still not connecting to Google Assistant on my 2 Sonos Ones. What do I do? I have lost an hour and a half of my life on this! Ok and now I must have clicked some answered thing on this forum. This is not answered!! Fix this issue ASAP what a waste of time, Sonos!

Help! Google assistant works fine on my Sonos system for everything except music playback. Assistant music playback works fine on all other devices in the house, just not Sonos. Weather, general web enquiries all work fine, but here’s an example of the music problem: ”hey google, play Mumford and sons” ”Alright, playing Mumford and sons on YouTube music” ”sorry, I don’t know how to help with that”. or ”hey google, play bbc radio 4 on tunein radio” ”ok, playing BBC radio 4 on tunein” ”sorry, I don’t know how to help with that yet”.
