I’ve seen many questions to the below but not found an answer so I will add my penny worth

I have new sonos beam and all integration with sonos app and youtube music is fine apart from the truncation list issue. ie I can play youtube music from the sonos app

 

OK Google questions like weather and what is my diary work fine

But when i ask google to play a track eg ok google play artist trackname  i get the following reply

 

“Ok playing trackname on YouTube music. Sorry I can't find what you're asked for”

I have the basic youtube music. All the various combinations of asking to play a track/artist fail with the message above.

 I have a  google home speaker and all the commands for youtube music WORK on this.

Any ideas please

Hi @IButts, 

Thanks for your response and for answering the questions. Upon checking the diagnostic, there are no issues found in your Sonos system. Let me share some information about this issue.

It appears to be a Google account-specific issue. We have seen this behavior before with Google Assistant and it's usually being resolved by using a different or new Google Account. Do you have another Google Account? Can you create one to test and perform the below steps?

1. Remove Google Assistant from all Sonos voice-enabled speakers.

2. In the Google Assistant app, go to Settings by tapping the user picture in the top right corner, then select the Devices option and ensure all Sonos devices have been removed.

3. Re-add Google Assistant to Sonos via the Sonos app to the desired speaker.

Let us know how you get on with the advice above. If you have any questions about this, feel free to reach out. We and the community are always here to help.

Hi Rowena,

Yes seems to be working now after google outage complications.

Just for you info, did as you said removed assistant from app, went into assistant app, didn’t have to do anything.

Then when I added assistant back in app the process was different. For example DIDN’T have to authorise with the code.

Strange.

 

Anyways many thanks for your help
