Google Assistant and Sonos

Hi, I’ve a 4.1 setup with the new Amp, two passive speakers, 1st gen sub and 1st gen play 1s. I am able to add google assistant in the app and it says “successfully added”. But when I call it out, the front passive speakers do not respond with a beep. I guess my question here is, are the passive speakers supposed to work in tandem with the amp to provide voice services (google assistant, alexa)?  Thanks.

Hi Does anyone know how to shuffle a playlist using an assistant voice command on Sonos? I've tried loads of variations and it'll only ever play the playlist in sequential order. Seems like an obvious command to have available. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello,    I couldn't find an answer to my problem so trying to get help here. I have a YouTube Premium subscription and using Google Assistant on my Sonos device. While I can play music from Youtube Music just fine through the Sonos App, I cannot with Google Assistant. I have selected YouTube as default music provider in the Google Home app, and whenever I ask Google Assistant on my Sonos One to play music, it responds “I can't do that here but you can ask me to play on one of your other devices”. I assume that Assistant thinks I want to play a video and expects a screen to play it. Any thoughts how I can make it work?

“OK Google” wake command has sensitivity settings in the Home app now. I have other assistant products that have had this feature a for a little while now. It is now available for for Sonos products too. I can confirm for the Sonos Beam and One as I have tweaked them this morning.   This should be good news for some of us.

Hi all,   I recently bought the Sonos arc + sonos one (gen 2). Just added the sonos 1 to play as a rear speaker and want to play together but right now its just either or.. Anyone know how to have the choice thru Google asst to play all? Cheers 👍  

Question here is, how does Sonos determine your location, which therefore enables the use of Google Voice Assistant?  The reason I ask is because I live in Argentina, but have a VPN network linked to the US (which allows me to use some US streaming services as a result regardless of device).      I am able to link on the Google Home app with Sonos, but my speakers don't appear in the google home app.  I'm able to use the Alexa Voice Assistant with no problems.   I've tried switching my home address on my Google Home app to my US home address, but still no go. What could be a good way to get this running properly?   Thanks!

I bought Sonos One couple of months ago and connected the Google Assistant straight away. Despite the Google Assistant app was saying the Russian language not supported by the Sonos One device it actually was working in Russian - it was reacting on “Окей, Гугл” ( “OK, Google” in Russian ) and was understanding the Russian speech and responding in Russian just fine. Same as it was responding just fine in English when activated by “OK, Google”.   But (I assume) with the latest update of the Sonos about a month ago, the Russian language has disappeared. The Sonos is still can be activated by saying “Окей, Гугл” ( “OK, Google” in Russian ), but goes no further than that ( getting “Sorry, I don’t know how to help” for requests in Russian ). That’s a bit weird.   I want the Russian language back, please!   Especially cons

Hi All, Is it real that Sonos Beam can’t support voice call with Google Assistant? It’s simply unbelievable that I need to verify this myself in a Sonos forum. Many thanks, Ken

I have Google Assistant on all of my Sonos devices.  And for the past year everything has worked great, including my integration with my smart home devices.   I can say things like “Google turn off the light” and it knows what room I’m in and does the right thing.   Today I moved a single ONE to a different room.  Re-assigned the room in the Sonos app.  Then re-assigned the room in the Google Home app.  Total chaos followed.  Now NONE of my devices know what room they are in, and turn lights on in the wrong room, or for the entire house.   I unlinked Sonos from Google Home, started over.  Didn’t help.   Then I tried moving things around to different rooms, experimented with a few things.  Didn’t help.  Unlinked a second time.  Didn’t help.    Any ideas?   It seems like when I re-link my Sonos to Google, Google still has a memory of the bad set-up.  Is there a way to totally wipe the Sonos configuration from Google and start over?  Unlinking didn’t help.

Has anyone configured the Sonos One SL to play Visitor Announcements from the Google Nest Hello doorbell? I wasn’t entirely sure if this should work or not.   I know there’s not voice control on the actual SL device but I thought maybe linking the services on the app would allow for announcements. I haven’t been able to get it to work. 

Is anyone else finding Google Assistant very slow to respond? I have a Sonos One in Australia and with Alexa it would respond to a question in around 1s. Ever since Google Assistant was released here i find that the Google Assistant would take 3-5s to respond. Its much slower than Alexa and also compared to the Google Mini i have. Does anyone else have this issue? or a solution to it.

I can not activate any of the services “Alexa” or “Google Assistant” as it says is not available for Portugal. In my mobile both services work, and google is clearly selling their own speakers in our country. In a other mobile devices I get the message “Setup Problem - check your internet connection and try again”.   It’s a bit frustrating it doesn’t work any audio service.      

So google home devices like the hub and the mini’s have a night mode where on a schedule it will use a chime to reply to you instead of a voice reply… we like this… only it only works on the all the google assistant devices except the Sonos devices that have google assistant on them. So what is the deal with this?  When will this minor (yet desirable) feature finally be supported?  I thought the last update would fix it but it doesn’t… this is a simple feature that apparently people want… so what are you waiting for?   Thanks for any info!

Hello I’m having trobule setting up Google Assitant on my Sonos one speaker. This is the only device I got from sonos. I’m stuck on finding devices part.    

I am a old style Hi Fi enthusiast, recently looked at Bose outdoor speakers at Costco, was almost ready to buy these when i decided to look into a online benchmark where the Sonos Move was recommended, thats what i ended up buying online. I was willing to spend $$$ exited about what i read about the Sonos performance i bought a bundle Sonos Move + One SL on eBay from a large authorized dealer just to later find out that this pair is unable to deliver Stereo, but that is a different story. The Sonos Move arrived yesterday afternoon and i quickly wanted to try it out before dinner, had 15minutes for that. Started unpacking powered it up following the instructions, installed the app on my Android, registration, question after question after update after question, the thing was finally satisfied to play music after around 20 Minutes or so, food on the table getting cold. Grrrr, Ok playing with the Sonos Android app while eating i tried to listen to my favorite music

My sonos one and beam will suddenly no longer play Spotify music and says connection was lost. They also won’t link to my Google account now either. I have tried rebooting, resetting up, restarting our internet, and other troubleshooting ideas on found on this forum. Please help!! Diagnostic 1801504021

After streaming music I ask google to “switch to TV” to return to TV sound. Google tells me that she can not help with that. Anyone having same issue and does anyone know the correct command or a solution?

I know one can create a group of Sonos speakers within the Sonos app. What I am hoping to do is to create groups of speakers (Sonos and Google Home / Mini devices) using the Google Home app. I can see the Sonos speakers in the Google Home App as visible devices, but I can not seem to include any Sonos speaker as part of the groups. Am I missing something or is this not a possibility? If not, any plans to revise this? The Sonos integration with the Google Voice system is great, but if the voice commands work to play on "Whole House"... I would love for it to include my top of the line Sonos speakers. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I am located in the USA and I get the error saying its not available however a few days prior it would allow me to add the service but I never completed the setup. Am I missing something here? Don't see a location or language setting that would now cause this error.

I’ve just got a sonos move and have set it up where i used to have a google home.   The google home used to work quite well. I could play music, get weather/jokes, ask questions. It would recognise my voice, and that of my wife and son.   I configured my sonos move and now its terrible! It recognises when any of us say ‘ok google’ but the only person whose commands it understands semi-reliably is my son. My wife and i can’t get it to do anything. In the ‘my activity’ on google assistant it just has ‘unknown voice command’.   Any ideas?

Does anyone know if a future update will allow a Sonos speaker to be set as the default speaker for a google home room? Its so frustrating this option is not available on release!

As the title says, Google assistant responds on both my phone and Sonos and It's super annoying. I've tried every solution I could think of to fix it but no dice. Anyone else has the same problem? 

Hi there, I am based in Singapore and since the launch I've had real problems keeping assistant working. After a few days it will stop responding entirely, meaning I have to remove the GA/Sonos link and reinstall. This fixes the problem short term but i have to repeat the process quite often.   Can anyone help please?

Via the Sonos Controller, I am able to play radio.com stations on my Sonos One speaker, which is configured with Google Assistant Voice support. However, if I say "Hey Google, play 670 The Score on radio.com" it says, "Alright, playing WSCR on radio.com" followed by "Sorry, there was an error for the Kitchen." This has been happening since the implementation. If configured with Alexa instead, it works. This happens with every radio.com station that I've tested.
