I have 3 Pandora accounts let’s say A,B,C added to my Sonos S2 App (Sonos One, Playbar, 2xFives). The Sonos One is configured with Google Assistant. The Google Assistant is logged into Pandora account B. My desired outcome is: Hey Google, play “Toddler Radio” and Toddler radio begins on Sonos speakers using the Pandora account I configured in the Google Assistant app : Pandora Account B...alwaysThe result: roughly around ¾ of the time, the configured GA Pandora account B is the one who plays the station. Randomly, Sonos, or Google Assistant will decide to play the music using my account A, which I NEVER want to play Toddler radio. As a result, my adult pandora profile is getting littered with Baby Shark radio and the like.I’ve gone so far as to completely nuke my whole Google Home setup, delete Account B from Google family manager. I’ve attempted to destroy ANY connection on Google’s end between Accounts A and B on the Google side.The only seemingly reliable “solution” is to delete acc
What is the command to get Google assistant to play music from Sonos Music library.I know I can play via the app, but is it not possible to use voice commands?
Hi, I am trying to connect Sonos play 5 with my Google nest mini, Nut while adding voice assitance with google assistant>add to sonos, in Sonos app i can find Sonos Beam in the Sonos app but i can not find my sonos Play 5 which i want to connect to Google mini. What could be the reason , Please help Thanks
I'd like to know why my Sonos devices only play the requested song when I request a specific song with a voice command and via You Tube Music, but when I make the exact same request on my Google Nest or Polk Assist speaker they play the requested song and then continue with other various songs that Google thinks I might like. I would expect the same Google behavior across various Google devices.
I say something like "ok Google, play Radio 4" and it responds saying "Playing Radio 4 on TuneIn" or I say "ok Google, play Bruce Springsteen" and it responds saying "alright, playing the Spotify playlist called This is Bruce Springsteen" but then does not start playing in either case. I check the system by saying something like "ok Google what time is it?" And it always responds to that correctly. Very occasionally it works and starts playing the music but more often than not it doesn't. I have tried:Disconnecting and reconnecting my Spotify accountDisconnecting and resetting up Google Assistant on the SonosSetting my default device to play from in Google Home as the Sonos OneChecking my default music service in Google Home is Spotify
Hi, appreciate any help or ideas on this one. Are there any known limits in regards to the Google or Alexa voice assistant commands available on a Sonos One?Sonos One with Google Voice Assistant cannot seem to handle many of the commands that a Google Home Mini sitting right next to it can. Examples include home automation commands like “turn on my lights” or routines I would want to run by name. Google Assistant on Sonos will inform me that “that device is not set up yet but can be on Google Home. etc.” where again, a Google device has no issues.Known issues here or additional configurations that I can make?Thank you for any ideas.Sam
Just received my SONOS beam and tried to set up the Google Assistant. Followed the steps in the SONOS app, but when i go to connect to either Google or Alexa, I get a ‘There was a problem adding Google Assistant’. I have tried everything I can think of - reset the device, deleted the app and re-installed - but nothing seems to work. I’ve successfully connected the device to my Google Home, so can play Spotify from it, but that is only through my Google mini. Any ideas please?
Hi, having just set up the Arc and a Gen 3 Sub, I thought I would add Google Assistant. Unfortunately, when I get to the point, where it asks you to login to my Sonos account, it just say that my email address or password is incorrect! I checked and double checked my Sonos account details, and I am inputting the correct details. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Google Assistant, but it still says my account details are incorrect. Now what? TIA
Hi - wonder if someone can give me a pointer.I’ve got 4 sonos units working on the new S2 system, all hooked up to Alexa and working fine.I thought I might be able to use my old Play:5 which is on a standalone S1 controller with a Google Nest Mini. Whilst I’ve enabled Google Assistant on it Google Home doesn’t see it (all the others show up). Searching for devices doesn’t help.Am I just trying to do something that isn’t possible?Thanks
I have a Beam and two One SL in a surround setup in my living room, and I’m considering adding a One for my kitchen which is in the other part of my apartment. My question is if I will be able to use Google Assistant in the One as well, or can Sonos only handle one microphone in a setup, even though the microphones are in different rooms?
I have the ARC and 2 One(s), all in my Media Room. I have Alexa on the ARC. How do I add Google to my One? When I try to do so, I just see “Alexa Enabled” and I don’t have any other options. Is it possible to do what I want?
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.
I use my Sonos One speakers to listen to radio on TuneIn quite a bit. Around the beginning of this year (2021), a bunch of stations disappeared -- if I ask the Google Assistant to play them it says, sure, then says it can’t find what it’s looking for. The same stations still come up if I ask for them on other Google devices or my Cortana speaker, and certain stations still come up on the Sonos speakers.Is there some reason certain TuneIn stations disappeared from the Sonos -- and only the Sonos -- system?
Hi All Recently I enable google assistant continued conversation on all my SONOS devices. The Sonos ONE is working as expected with continued conversation however I noticed that the ARC does not work for this. Is this feature currently supported on the SONOS ARC?
When are you going to support apple music on Sonos one via google assistant?how hard can it be?I have a google home speaker that now supports Apple, google assistant app supports Apple. I use Apple Music on all my Sonos speakers via the Sonos app.what is the timeline for rectifying this?

Hi,For several days now that the sonos move speaker does not playing music when I request through Google Assistant and it's only saying "sorry, I can't to that on this device" how can I fix this issue?Thanks.
TLDR - cant use google assistant as my integrated voice control on a sonos Beam as the assistant app fails to find them as devices - but they do show up in the google home app.---------------So, just purchased a Beam. The set up process did not go as smoothly as I had hoped and it took many attempts to get it connected to my WiFi network but eventually it all seemed to be working. I then initially connected it to my Alexa service and that worked fine. However, I decided to switch to google assistant (to avoid command conflicts with an echo that’s in the same room) and it fails to find the device in the assistant app. After many attempts i looked into the devices in the separate google Home app and 2 sonos devices were present (the speaker itself and once called TV control) and my account was linked. Indeed I was able to command the beam from a google hub in a separate room, but the beam itself refused to accept google assistant commands and the sonos S2 app said it wasn't a linked ser
Hello,My Sonos One suddenly stopped responding to voice commands out of nowhere today. The microphone light on top won’t turn on. I did a factory reset and when I try adding a voice assistant through the Sonos app on Android, I immediately get a “Connection problem” error when I tap either Google Assistant or Alexa. It doesn’t even try to connect or search for anything, it just instantly throws this error. What’s the deal? It happens from my wife’s iPhone as well. I’ve unlinked Sonos from my Google Home app and still nothing.I submitted a diagnostic report, 620881377
Hi, I’ve seen slight variations to this issue on other threads but none that quite address it. Problem Google assistant was not working on the Sonos One speaker (the microphone was not active and not illuminated). In an attempt to resolve this issue I unlinked the Sonos from Google and tried re-linking. Now the situation is that when I go to re-activate the GA service within the Sonos App the following happens: 1.) I'm prompted to add GA to my Sonos 2.) On the "select rooms" page I select the Sonos 3.) I press "add to google assistant" button and I'm re-directed to GA app 4.) This then simply takes me to App Store to purchase/download GA (which I already have)! 5.) When I then go back to Sonos app it says "Linking Google account" and HANGS on this page indefinitely with a spinning wheel. 6.) After a considerable length of time it times out and says "There was a problem adding google assistant". As a work-around for this I've tried adding/linking Sonos from the GA app itself. This
Hello all!I recently bought my first Sonos product, a Sonos One, and successfully integrated with Google Home.It is nice to be able to use music services unsing Google Assitant, but what about the music in our phones? Can we expect to be able to launch and manage music stored on our phones with voice commands?Thanks!
I have a Sony TV that has been connected to Google Home. Just added a Beam surround system to the TV using the HDMI-ARC cable. In the Google Home menu, the TV is listed, the Sonos system is now listed, and a new device is listed that is the TV linked to Sonos (the device has a much longer name). Is there a way to link the existing TV to Sonos and delete the new device? Thanks for your help.
I have read through the community and tried multiple things, but no luck so fare with paring Sonos One to Google Assistant. I have tried with both iPhone and iPad. The process stops once the Sonos App “calls” the Google Assistant app and i have chosen “Next” - “This may take a minute or two” after a few minutes the Google Assistant app just returns this error: “There may be a problem”I have tried the following: Deleted the sonos app. Deleted the Google Assistant app. I have reset the Sonos One speaker and added it to the system again.Still no luck.
