Google Assistant & Sonos

Hi all, I have a google assistant set up on my system and it looks like I can broadcast from my Move and Roam but I can’t here the broadcasts from them. I’ve tried setting up the ‘default music speaker’ under the sonos app which then loads up the google assistant app.  But it doesn’t work.Is there something I’ve missed?

As the caption reads, I have an issue with the Google assistant making the volume go to the max setting despite what I tell it. For example: if I say “Hey Google set the volume to 9%” the volume will be set to 100 and then I have to scramble for a remote so I can lower the volume quickly.  Despite the volume level I set the Sonos to via the Google Assistant, it’ll always set it to 100%. I’ve removed and re-added the Google Assistant and that fix only works for 1-2 days. It’s really irritating that this is going on and it’s incredibly inconvenient as well. Makes me want to throw away the entire Sonos setup I have and go with a comparable setup from Bose.  Sonos….get it together already.

J’ajoute une Roam neuve sur mon système existant, elle est bien reconnue.Lors de l’installation de l’assistant google, après m’avoir demandé d’ouvrir l’application Google Assistant, j’arrive sur un écran d’attente avec une roue qui tourne et qui me dit que ça va prendre quelques minutes, me propose de réessayer ou d’annuler.Ca n’aboutit jamais, par contre parfois, en revenant sur l’écran de gestion la Roam, l’assistant Google apparait comme installé. Et là je peux appuyer sur le micro et la led s’allume, mais il ne fonctionne pas.Et au bout de quelques minutes, ou si je l’arrête et que je la rallume, il est à nouveau non installé. Des solutions ? Moderator edit:Google Translate- I add a new Roam to my existing system, it is recognized.When installing the Google Assistant, after asking me to open the Google Assistant application, I arrive at a waiting screen with a spinning wheel that tells me that it will take a few minutes, offers me to try again or cancel.It never works, however some

Problems here too with Sonos and Google Assistant.  I have 2 x pairs of One (Gen2) and an ARC with 2 x One (Gen2) surround.All OK until yesterday when Google Assistant stopped working on both pairs of One - remains silent when `Hey Google` spoken, as if it’s not listening.    Tried reconnecting account in Google Home - no difference.In the Sonos App (Android) under Voice Assistants, the rooms containing the pairs have disappeared and when I try to add them back in the process starts, but then keeps saying `try again`.The Arc still works fine, so having read lots of reports of Google Assistant problems I’m reluctant to try Unlinking the Sonos account in Google Home.Very cross as we use voice to control multiple lights, heating etc. and we’ve invested a lot of ££ in Sonos!!

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  

It appears that Amazon Music is now supported with Google Assistant and Google Nest devices.Has anyone got them to work together on their Sonos speakers?It’s almost like I’ve got them halfway working together with my Sonos Beam. Google Assistant recognizes some commands but not all. What’s also weird is that if I check my Google activity, it doesn’t show the commands I’m requesting.However, if I use my Google Assistant app on my iPad and ask it to play an album or song on my living room speaker, it works perfectly and show the command in my Google activity.This is what I mean by it’s working “halfway”.Perhaps Sonos themselves aren’t aware Amazon Music hasn’t been added to Google Assistant which is why it might not be work correctly. 

Since this still has not been enabled I assume sonos will not be doing this ? Not a great look from Sonos, it works on other Google enabled speakers.What's causing the issue ? Will Sonos update this or do I have to change to Spotify which is a shame as apple music is far better and has Atmos 

Using the google assistant for years on my one, we bought a beam gen2after trying the assistent on the beam we want to switch back to the one. Deleted the assistant but not able (on beam or one) to add it.after pressing in sonos app, add google assistant, we get redirected to assistant app (iphone or ipad tried several). After a few steps it ask for credentials sonos, we get the login page, login, then is says adding but stop halfway…. See picture  

I’m a proud owner of the Sonos Beam (Gen 2), and I absolutely love the sound quality and the overall experience. However, I can’t help but feel frustrated that Google Assistant/Home integration is not available in Israel. This is such a widely used feature globally, and it’s disappointing that Sonos, a leader in smart home audio, doesn’t offer support for it in my region.What’s even more frustrating is that other major brands in the smart home and audio space have no problem supporting Google Assistant here. For Sonos, a company I deeply respect, it feels like a real gap—and one that I believe could be fixed with enough community support and feedback.I know this issue isn’t limited to Israel. If you’re from another country where Google Assistant isn’t supported on Sonos, I encourage you to join this discussion. Let’s bring attention to this issue together and urge the Sonos Engineers and Product Managers to expand Google Assistant support to more regions.Sonos, your products are fantas

Voice control and smart home > Google Assistant and Sonos > Enable both Alexa and Google Assistant I found another thread, locked 4 years ago, asking the exact same thing, no answer them either. Back then someone mentioned that Google and Alexa with others had a partnership now to allow smooth seamless integration across multiple devices and should be with Sonos soon.. That was 4 years ago. I have many smart home devices, all of which are linked to both my Alexa and Google voice assistants at the same time, and yet, my Sonos speakers are still incapable. I had to reinstall my Sonos app today in a troubleshooting effort with Sonos support because the most recent update ( it's November 2024 as I write) has failed to include the lock screen controls as well as failing to include the notification ( drop down) controls so you can only control the devices through the app if you have the app fully open and taking up your whole screen. As I was checking the settings in the re-installed a

When Move has been updated it can not understand command’s from Google anymore. When I use One I just say (in Swedish) Hey google, play P4 - which is the radio station I normally listen to. Move will not understand. Keeps asking for which unit. There is only one system I have. Speakers are on different floors, so they can not over hear commands. Any idea why this lack of understanding has been introduced? Why not the same commands work the same on all products? 

I am really disappointed the new Sonos speakers no longer include Google Assistant integration. It seems the legal battle about patents got so bad new products no longer include Google Assistant. I had a Roam die and they sent me the new version that does not include Google Assistant. I need home controls in addition to music control. So Sonos voice is really sub par. I hope Google Assistant integration comes back.

I have a Spotify Premium family plan and have multiple Spotify accounts linked to Sonos. I also have Google Assistant linked to each of those accounts and Voice Match set up. It all works fine except for my wife; every time she asks the Sonos speaker to play music, the speaker responds saying something like “got it, playing blah blah blah on Spotify” and then: Sorry, it looks like Spotify Premium isn’t currently available. Please try again later. This does NOT occur with Google speakers in the home. When she asks the Sonos speaker “who am I” it tells her her name just fine, so I know Voice Match is working. And I can ask it myself to play music without a problem.I’ve tried:factory reset speaker unlink and re-link Spotify from Sonos unlink the Sonos speaker from Google and re-link it remove Google and Sonos permissions from Spotify in the web UI and relinking everything doing all of the above but with an Android device instead of iOS checking to make sure there’s only one Google Home ch

I’m using google assistant on my Arc. Often the microphone will activate by itself and the LED on the arc will light up except I haven’t said “hey google” or “okay google” and nothing resembling these words have been spoken.I’ve tried reinstalling Google voice assistant and even tried moving the soundbar away from the TV as this had been suggested at some point. This has been an issue ever since I bought the unit November 2022

Every time i ask google assistant on sonos one (Gen 2) to play music it says apple music is not supported. How can i fix this?  I am logged into apple music (with an active subscription) on both google and sonsos. 

I was looking for instructions as to how to use my Sonos speaks as my Nest Doorbell chime but didn’t find anything that explained how to do it.  After various searches, I found bits and pieces of how to get my Nest Doorbell to announce over my Sonos system.  The important point is that it can be done and it does work. There are a number of steps and I’m not sure which are required, but here’s what I did: From Google Home app, add Sonos to Services. Go to Settings screen. Select “works with Google” under services.  From Google Home App, go to Settings and select the Nest Doorbell.  Click on Doorbell and in the Features section, make sure that Visitor Announcements is active.  From Sonos app, go to Settings screen and click “Manage”.  Find “Voice Assistants” and add Google Assistant. Once added, click on Google Assistant and click “add to another product”. Add the Sonos speakers you want to announce.  From Sonos app, go to Settings screen and click on your target Sonos device.  Scroll to

I recently bought a Sonos Beam Gen 2 with the hope of having the TV connected to it and using it as a Spotify Connect speaker. It’s been working fine until I tried to enable the Google Voice Assistant. In their app, I start the process, but then the Google Assistant app opens and says no devices found.I have the latest Sonos iOS app and the latest Google Assistant app. The mic button doesn’t do anything when I press it, and in the app, the mic shows as “Disabled.”I’ve already tried to re-pair and re-add it to my account, restarted my router, and restarted the Beam itself. I have plenty of other devices that can be added to Google Assistant without any issues. It’s just this Beam.I also have a Sonos One that has no issue connecting to Google Assistant. I’ve reinstalled the One multiple times just to ensure it works properly.I contacted customer service and explained the issue. The representative claimed that there was an issue with Google Assistant and that no devices could be set up wi

I have a few recurring issues with google voice and my Sonos ones. Either when I ask to play a radio station the response is OK playing xxx radio station. Sorry I can’t find what you asked for.  Or sometimes when I ask to play artist name I get Sorry I can’t do that here but you can ask me to play it on one of your other devices.  And sometimes this commands work… wondering if Alexa might be more helpful? We use Google WiFi and have a WiFi point in the neighbouring room to one of the Sonos ones and I wondered if this might cause something funky to happen as I don’t think this was a problem until I upgraded the WiFi points and now have one which is voice enabled. Can anyone help? Please!

I have 3 rooms with sones Arc and One speakers.It has been working fine with voice control for years but suddenly they do not reply. The voice touch on/off function on top of speakers do not work anymore. I can not turn them on.I have tried to reset the speakers but it do not help.Have anyone tried the same or now what can be the issue?

Asking this again. It has been years now. When will you get sounds working on Google assistant on Sonos? It is clearly Sonos' responsibility more than the BBC or Google to fix this. I end up listening to BBC on my crappy Google home devices when I have an expensive Sonos system sitting next to them. Sort it out please! Not buying Sonos again.

I listen to my music through Sonos speakers and use Google assistant on  hubs to voice control these.Up until this week BBC radio was available on TuneIn the radio app which Sonos used to radio stations. This now doesn't work which is fine as it advised I linked BBC sounds . I can listen to the BBC through the Sonos app all good. Problem is if I ask assistant to play BBC  radio 1 on sonos the reply is " playing BBC radio 1 from tune in " this results in silence .  I've deleted TuneIn from Sonos and it's still doing it. Even if I use the command "play BBC radio 1 from BBC" it either doesn't understand or just gives the same playing from TuneIn reply.  It also does it for all stations like radio X or heart . What command can I use or change stop assistant using TuneIn ?Thanks sarah

Ich bin neues Mitglied hier und besitze aber mittlerweile einige Komponenten. Von der Play One mit der ich angefangen habe bis hin zur Beam.Alle meine Komponenten manage ich seit Jahren mit der Sonos App. Bislang war ich sehr zufrieden.Jetzt mit der neuen schwarzen App reagiert alles sehr langsam. Mich an neue Dinge zu gewöhnen, ist nicht mein Problem. Meine Bitte geht dahin, daß die Entwickler bitte eine Überarbeitung durchführen, damit die App im neuen, alten Glanz erstrahlt. Danke. Gruss aus Ulm.Joste  Moderator edit:Google Translate- I am a new member here and now own some components. From the Play One that I started with to the Beam.I have been managing all of my components with the Sonos app for years. So far I've been very satisfied.Now with the new black app everything responds very slowly. Getting used to new things is not my problem. My request is that the developers please revise it so that the app shines in its new, old glory. Thanks. Greetings from Ulm.Joste

Several months ago Google Assistant started responding “I didn’t understand” to commands in Google automation routines that were supposed to announce something on the initiating Sonos speaker. This bug is still present and I don’t think it was ever acknowledged or addressed by Sonos or Google. Only Sonos speakers are affected - all other Google Assistant speakers continue to perform this action just fine. Fortunately there was a workaround in the case of routines that are only ever used on the Sonos speaker: modify the routine to always make the announcement specifically on the Sonos speaker rather than “on the initiating speaker”.Today things got worse. Google Assistant on Sonos has started responding “I didn’t understand” even when the announcement in the routine is specifically sent to the Sonos speaker.I guess this is the next step in Google trying to put the screws to Sonos and Sonos trying to abandon Google Assistant?

For the past few months, I’ve been able to start playing music using Google Voice commands on my Sonos One, however, I’m unable to stop playing music once it begins playing. I ask Google Assistant to stop playing and it replies, “Nothing is playing right now.” Funny enough, I can ask it what song is playing, and it will provide that information. I unlinked Spotify from my Sonos app and Google Assistant app. I also unlinked Sonos from the Google Home app. I then reset my Sonos One and configured everything from scratch, however, no luck. I submit diagnostics to Sonos, but they said they don’t see anything wrong. The only thing that works to stop playing music is ending the session from the Spotify app or the Sonos app. This is frustrating - just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.
