Chose the speaker for Google Assistant in surround system

I’m in the same situation.

1 playbar and 2 Sonos Ones for surround sound. I'd love it if Google Assistant was on the right rather than left speaker.  Is it possible to switch?

I have the same problem and contacted the support. They told me it's technically not possible to switch Google Assistant to the other speaker. 

I think that's quite ridiculous. Everyone who has that problem please contact support so it hopefully gets fixed. 

Same here, google/sonos pls sort this out ASAP. 

i would like that feature 🤞💪💪💪

Same issue exactly the right Sonos One is more centered in my configuration so better for Google Assistant usage

I have read that if you take the next steps you can put GA on the right (no pun intended) speaker:

1) de-pair the rear speakers;

1. install GA only on the right speaker
2. pair the speakers for surround.

Now GA should only work on the right speaker.

Same. And the previous answer only seems to work if you are using stereo, not surround. 

All

For those experiencing the issue with Google Assistant in a surround set up; I feel your frustration although I use Alexa. The best recommendation I can make is to invest in a Google Home Mini and place it in listening distance. Maybe Sonos will correct the software if Google licensing permits.

Cheers!

Same issue. I have a Beam and two Ones. The GA automatically assigns to the Beam. But I want it to be the left speaker (closest to my kitchen).  

Hi @jermcnama 

If you are using the One’s as surround speakers with the Beam the voice assistant is disabled in them. The beam is the only speaker that will use the GA.
