Google Assistant issues since voice match and personal results

I set up voice match through Google Assistant. on my Sonos One and started having issues, so then turned it off. Now the Google Assistant will not play spotify or add to my lists. It keeps saying to turn on personal results. When I try to turn on personal results through my phone, it automatically toggles it to OFF again. I’ve rebooted, deleted, unlinked, relinked etc. The issue is just sticking. Please help to fix this Assistant bug.

Feature Request: Default Speaker group when bluetooth streaming

Whenever I play music from my phone, I ALWAYS play to all speakers. It would be convenient for me to pair with one of my Era 100’s and have the app already know I’m going to select all my speakers

asking for bbc radio 4 gets bbc radio jersey

Hi.I understand that Google Assistant (GA) has been unable to play BBC Radio 4 for about 2 years now...despite the fact that Sonos supports BBC Sounds. I don’t want to use my phone to command listening to the radio, esp if I’m doing something in the kitchen.What’s interesting though, is that if you ask GA for BBC Radio 4 it serves up BBC Radio Jersey. So, something is happening, there’s a matching process going on in google somewhere and it finds a near neighbour. Does anybody know who to put pressure on in Google to nudge this over the line?eg.

Can't stop music or radio using stop command (but can start radio)

Great that Sonos/Google is working again, however now I can’t stop music or radio (TuneIn) playing using the “Stop” command. It used to work. The error message I get from Google Assistant is: Nothing is currently playing.I don’t have any problem telling Google Assistant to play music or radio. Has anyone else experienced this?

Sorry, looks like Sonos is not available right now

In the last week my Sonos One stereo pair running Google Assistant has started giving me this message frequently when I request to play, pause, resume or stop something. Sometimes it’s stuck on this error - I can ask it repeatedly and keep getting the same response. That’s very annoying when it’s playing a stream and I’m telling it to STOP!!!Google Assistant itself is not affected as far as commands not involving Sonos streaming - it only affects media streams starting or stopping.The Sonos app is unaffected. Even when GA is refusing to start or stop a music stream repeatedly because “Sonos is not available”, the Sonos app has no problem doing it, and correctly shows the streaming status of the speaker.I can also ask my nearby Echo Dot to play or stop music on Sonos, and it works fine.So which side is at fault here, Google or Sonos?At one point I tried unplugging and replugging the primary Sonos One speaker of the pair. When it came back up, it would only flash red when I said a “Hey G

YouTube Music stops playing after one song - can it continue or is that still not available?

Hi allI just purchased a Sonos Move and I've been asking for a song via voice to play on YT music premium.Eg. OK Google, play Pearl Jam - Alive. This plays the song no problems however once the song finishes the music just stops. Can the Sonos keep playing other random similar music like my Google Home mini does. Is there some kind of setting to enable or Sonos doesn't do this natively? I’ve seen a topic 2 years ago but there was no resolution in there.

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?

Spotify doesn't work with voice command

Dear people from sonos,I have a sonos beam (gen 2) and I'm very happy with it. I have a issue with the voice commands lately and would like to solve this problem. If I ask ‘hey google, play ….. on spotify’ it says: '’Oke, I will play the playlist of ….. on spotify’ and then nothing happens. I already put the sonos bar off and on again, I reauthorised and reinstalled the spotify app in the sonos app en the google home app but now i'm running out of options. could you please help me? If i ask other things, like google search, it works. So it really is the connection with spotify I think. Hope to hear from you.kind regards,Mathijs

Can't set separate Google Assistant volume

There is no way to set your Google Assistant volume separate from the Soundbar's TV/music volumes. This means that if you muted your TV before last switching it off, you can barely hear Assistant (though it appears at least to have a minimum volume). And it means that if you last listened to your TV at high volume and go to interact with Assistant late at night, you likely will wake up your whole household. There was a thread on this which Sonos closed a year ago. At that time, people were complaining Sonos hasn't done anything about this known issue for two years. Why are we even wasting our time with feature suggestions, if Sonos won't take one which already should have been obvious anyway?

Google Assistent still not working for Spotify

I use Spotify (premium sub) through Google Assistant and it hasn't been working for months. Telling me to use the app is ridiculously unacceptable. I bought the roam for it's integration with Google as I'm not always at home and my kids like to use the roam to play music too. When can we expect this to be fixed? I've updated the firmware and tried re signing into Google. A number of times.

Google Assistant and Alexa Support for panama

Good day, I would like to ask when voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant will be supported in Panama. I bought the product at an official store in Panama and was excited to use the built-in Google Assistant, but it's not currently available.Sonos Voice control is incredible, and I would prefer to use it. However, it says that it's not supported for YouTube Music.
