Volume control of a group with Google Assistant only controls 1 speaker in the group

Hello, I have 4 Sonos One speakers setup in a group and I am using Google Assistant and Pandora to play music. I say "Hey, Google, Turn up the volume" and the speaker that seems to be closest to me increases but none of the other speakers in the group increases. I would like to have the entire group of speakers volume increase with GA voice control not just one speaker. I can't seem to find a way to make this work and change the volume all speaker in a group with a single command . I constantly need to go to my Sonos App and use the volume sliders to re-sync the volume levels so they are all the same again. The other option would be to go to all 4 rooms separately and have GA increase the volume separately. Thanks!

Can't use Google Assistant to control Spotify on Beam

When I ask Google to play a song on Spotify through my Beam, it will say: "OK, here's [song]. Sorry, it looks like you haven't set up Spotify on your Sonos app. To play from Spotify, link the same account on both Sonos and Google Assistant." I have linked and unlinked the same account on both the Sonos app and the Google Assistant app a number of times, and still can't get it to work. Is there something I'm missing?

Google Home can't find Roam

I have a Beam in the lounge with two One SL’s as surrounds. Google Assistant works fine on this setup. I have just bought the Roam and when trying to add the Google Assistant, it simply does not find the device. I have now tried it several times, both through Google Home and also starting within the Sonos app. I removed Google Assistant from my Beam and tried again in Google Home, it found the beam instantly … but not the Roam. Ugh. The Roam is on my network, I can play Spotify through it, I can add it to other speakers to play the same music concurrently (speaker groups?) … but I can’t add Google Assistant … as Google Home just cant find it! Frustrating to say the least.

Google Assistant on Sonos One (Gen1) unable to respond when being used as a surround pair.

Hi! So with the recent integration of the Google Assistant onto the Sonos platform I decided to pick up a pair of Sonos Ones (Gen1) to connect with my current Playbar. From everything I've read when being used as a surround pair one of the surround speakers will act as the hub for the voice assistant being used. I've been successful at linking my Ones with Google, and when they are on their own in a stereo pair the Google Assistant works as expected. However, whenever I connect them with my Playbar as a surround pair the Google Assistant becomes unusable. Any query or command results in a long pause followed by a response from the assistant stating that something went wrong or a glitch happened and to try again in a few seconds. Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue? I have a few Google Home Minis that I can use to still have access to the Google Assistant but I'd much rather use the capabilities of the Sonos One.

Sonos Move Microphone is not working

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.

Google Assistant on AMP?

I'm new here. I'm likely to buy a Sonos amp for my back yard speaker setup. Will there be an update to AMP so that I can add the Sonos amp to a speaker group in Google home? That would clutch it for me. If not, will I have to find a Chromecast audio on eBay and use that? Are there alternatives since CCA is discontinued? Thanks!

Sonos Amp - Google Assistant

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.

Google Assistant Volume.

Dear SonosAs a Sonos user which uses your integration with google assistant I think it’s absolutely horrible that you can’t choose the volume on the assistant. It doesn’t even include a mode for the evening/night. When I’m asking the assistant or for example turning of the lights in the night, assistant just screams out loud with the last playback volume and wakes up my whole family. This basically ruins the whole experience and makes it unusable, I’m even thinking of ditching the assistant on the Sonos speakers and buying some nests instead which i think shouldn’t even be considered when already having a full Sonos system.  Please address this issue asap, or at least release a quick fix.

Sonos Google Assistant integration won't cancel an alarm in response to "stop"

Google recently released an update allowing us to [url=https://www.engadget.com/2019/05/07/hey-google-stop-alarm-no-more/]cancel alarms by merely saying "stop"[/url]. My Sonos Beam will only cancel alarms in response to the wake phrase plus "stop", i.e. I must use "Ok Google, stop" or "Hey Google, stop". This is a confusing and unhelpful user experience as the Beam requires different commands to the other Google Home devices in our household. Why doesn't "stop" work, does this indicate that the Sonos integration is not a current version of Google Assistant? What does this mean for the future? I've no idea whether this needs to be fixed by Google or Sonos, I've already [url=https://support.google.com/googlehome/answer/7071494]reported it to Google[/url], and encourage anyone else experiencing this problem to do so also.

google assistant and spotify family plan

I am having trouble getting sonos to work with google assistant for myself and my family members and our separate Spotify accounts.  We have a Sonos one and a sonos amp in our living room and a google home in each of our bedrooms. We have  4 google users each with voice match turned on. We have 4 Spotify accounts, one for each google user. Each user has all google home and sonos devices listed as matched ‘devices’ in google assistant. However, we are constantly being told by sonos that our requests for music on the sonos device cannot be completed.  What is the proper way to configure multiple family members with multiple Spotify accounts and multiple google accounts on one sonos speaker/system?

Google Assistant and Room Control

I just got a Beam, and I'm enjoying it so far. The only annoying thing is that I can't get the Google assistant to handle a voice command to play music in all rooms. I have 3 other Sonos rooms, and when I say "Hey Google, play Miles Davis everywhere", she says she doesn't understand. And when I try "Hey Google, play Miles Davis in every room" she says "I can't do that yet. But I'm still learning" It seems like this would be a pretty basic command, given that the Sonos app shows 'Everywhere' as a default option in the Rooms menu. It's a little cumbersome to have to say "Hey Google, play ___ in the living room, and in the kitchen, and in the bedroom, and in the den, and in..." Has anyone else experienced this and found a better command? Or is this likely to become possible through a future update?

"Set input to TV" voice command has stopped working - Google Assistant with Beam

Until about a week ago, I could say "okay Google" then "set input to TV on the Sonos" and it would switch the input.  When I've been trying this for the last few days it's suddenly stopped working. It says variations on "I can't help with that." I can currently only switch to the TV input by using the app. (We've got automatic switching turned off because we like to listen to music while browsing films before switching inputs.)  Any suggestions on how to get this working again? Has the phrase changed? Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just me?

Arc keeps repeating « Mic is muted » then « the mic is back on »   I believe it’s the google assistant. I can’t figure out a pattern. It’s very annoying. Sometimes it’s 5 secs appart. Sometimes minutes.

Control android TV with Google Assistant via Sonos Beam

Hi I have a Beam hooked up to a Sony android TV and am using Google Assistant throughout the house (2 Ones in other rooms). I can turn the TV on and off, as well as changing the volume, but cannot get anything more advanced controls to work, such as playing Netflix via voice control through Google Assistant. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so how do you need to set it up? I have another (non-smart) TV with a Chromecast, which you can control via Google Assistant so had hoped Android TV would be the same as Chromecast. Thanks in advance

Set default Spotify account for Google Assistant

I have a Spotify family account with 5 separate logins, 1 for each family member and one for general house or guest use. I would like to set it so that when Sonos is controlled by Google Assistant, it uses the general house account instead of my personal account. The problem is that if I am not home, driving in my car, or home listening to headphones, and my kids use the Sonos system, whatever I'm listening to stops and it deletes my listening queue, then replaces it with what they are listening to, and if I start playing my device, it deletes what they are listening to. This defeats the purpose of having separate accounts to begin with. I've tried changing the account in the Sonos PC application but it keeps doing the same thing, as though the Google Assistant always defaults to my personal account no matter the Sonos settings. Please let me know how to fix this annoying problem. Thank you for any solutions!

Remove Google voice but stay linked for hardware control..

Is it possible to disable the Google Assistant Voice control and keep the linked status in google home? I want to continue to control the Sonos Beams but use my Google Nest Hubs for voice commands. My wife misses having her own personal assistant settings and assistant voice. Right now I have the mics turned off as a work around. I am also using airplay more and more 2 group my Sonos system for music since that feature is not available yet from google. On a side note just having the flexibility to use both Google and Apple are why I use and enjoy my Sonos system every day. Thanks

Google Assistant and Tune In

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.

Sonos One Problem with Google Assistant

I have brought a Sonos One in order to substitute my other smart speaker. After I have installed successfully the device with the Google assistant I have found out that the speaker does not respond to most of the commands    I have checked under my Google Assistant activity and I saw that most of the commands are not understand and are logged as Unknown voice command Is this a known issue? Is this something Sonos is workings on?

Can't get Google home to play music on my sonos...

I have 5 Google home mini. One for every room I have a Sonos connect amp speaker (speakers in the sealing, and the amp's in my AV room). So. In my bathroom for example, i tell Google "Hi Google. Play some music from my playlist in the bathroom". Then the music starts playing from the mini... My sonos speaker is called "bathroom" and the mini is called "mini 2". And yes. I have done the setup both in home and sonos app. I[img]https://uploads-eu-west-1.insided.com/sonos-en/attachment/0862ce46-cd71-486b-b5c3-77876a9bfa7b.jpg[/img]
