As far as I can tell, the sonos app can no longer connect to Google Assistant on a modern Android phone.

I've un installed, re installed all apps and connections and all that has managed to do is remove my existing Assistant connections on other existing devices.

Then I realised that due to changes in Google Assistant and Gemini it is no longer possible. I'm absolutely over this crap, luckily I can process a return for the new Sonos Move (not the 2..)

Sonos is a waste of time and energy, what a joke!

Just joined the community so that maybe my experience can help some.

I had Google Assistant (GA) on two of my Sonos Ones but lost it on the others. Been on the phone for over an hour with agents getting me to do the same rigmarole. First one told me there was a 2 speaker limit. So, I unlinked Sonos from Google, updated all speakers, relinked and then couldn’t add GA to any of them. Last guy told me to try again in 3 hours as a ticket was raised. I was reading these threads as he spoke and said “isn't this issue 8 months old?” He then quickly said good bye. Not even the usual ”can I help you with anything else?

Anyway, last ditched effort, I dug out an old S8 I had in a draw. I installed the current Sonos app. Didn’t update the old style GA it had and tried again. It worked perfectly and now I have GA on all six speakers.

The S8 has Android 9 with One UI 1.0.

@Pops L Did you manage to get “personal results” enabled, though? Ie: voice matching so Google can for example access your calendar when it recognizes your voice.
