Sonos Beam Gen 2 and Google Assistant


I have just purchased a Sonos Beam Gen 2. I do enjoy the sound but cannot connect to Google Assistan.

I notice over the last week or so, others  have a similar problem. I have tried using the ‘bot’ and email with no help at all.

I am a newbee and was wondering if anyone knows what’s going on? Is there a solution? or are we waiting for a fix from Sonos?

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank

Hi ​@Phile12, welcome to the Sonos Community!

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having issues setting up Google Assistant (GA) on your Beam. We are aware of an issue regarding setting up GA and our workarounds are to either:

  1. Reboot the controller you have the Sonos app installed on (your phone, tablet, etc).
  2. Use a different controller to set up Google Assistant on your Sonos system.

If you’ve tried the above and you’re still unable to set up GA, then I’d recommend reaching out to our support team for further troubleshooting assistance and support, as they have the necessary tools available to help you resolve this issue.

I hope this helps!

What's the point of giving him instructions that doesn't work? Many have tried and many have failed. I haven't seen no one respond with "it worked". It's an misleading support in my opinion.

Hi ​@Beltor

These are first steps to try if you can’t connect Google Assistant to Sonos and are just workarounds while our team works to resolve the overall issue. It’s possible these steps resolve the issue for ​@Phile12 or other users and, if so, they wont have to perform any further troubleshooting. If they don’t work for you or for others, then contacting support is the next move.

If you’ve tried my suggestions earlier in this thread then you’ll want to contact our support team as that was the next step I recommended.

If you already have contact them, can you let me know what you did with them or provide me with your case number so I can look into what steps you have done? There isn’t any more steps that can be performed from the community side of things, but I can look to see if support have missed any steps or if they have left suggestions on what to do next.

Hi ​@Phile12

I just wanted to update this thread as this specific issue has been resolved by our team. If you haven’t added Google Assistant already, you can do so now without issue. 

I hope this helps!
