Google Assistant & Sonos

I’ve seen meny have similar problems, but nothing really seems to fit my use case so lets have a go:Ever since I started to use GA on my Arc I intermittently get the famous “I can't reach the internet right now ...” message. First I thought it was that I was running the speaker on wifi and there was interference from the neighbours, so I switched to wired directly to a port on the router.Problems persisted.Next I thought that my pi-hold blocker was doing something, I checked the logs, found a few blocked requests and whitelisted them.No more red in the pi-hole log, problems persisted.Next I made notes on circumstances, like if I had been using the TV, or streamed from a computer or Spotify, before it stopped working or if it worked during, which app as in from which device had accessed it last and so forth.Sometimes it worked, sometimes not in all cases.Next to check was if the message coincided with specific times of day or day of week. Same again, sometimes it worked, sometimes it di

These speakers are good enough.In a world where interoperability is the norm, Sonos just doesn’t cut it.  I can’t get my TV audio to stream wirelessly.I can’t get my other non-Sonos speakers to play at the same time as the Sonos.  If you have other Google home devices, don’t pay extra for the Sonos One’s with the assistant integration--they don’t integrate. You can only reinstall the music services and they will not work the same.  I don’t know what the point of that is.  Actually, the point is to likely to try and force Sonos users to buy only Sonos speakers.  But the world isn’t like this in 2022.  I hope the Product Owner was replaced and there are plans to actually make these work in a connected home with other devices.  The speaker quality is 6/10 for the price.  I might replace them with the Klipshe. 

Hej. Hur ökar man volymen på rösten i Google Assistans? Vill inte att musiken ökar.

I’ve seen a few questions on this subject, but they all appear to be at least a year old.I just specifically purchased a One SL and paired it to a Google Nest Hub Max so I could use voice commands for Apple Music, but even that doesn’t work.Is there a timeline for fixing this?

I’ve noticed a large conversation around getting "Support for Apple Music with Google Assistant”, whereby people were frustrated that Google Assistant on Sonos doesn’t support the ability to play music from Apple Music at this time. I just wanted to make people aware that they can workaround this limitation, albeit in a very limited capacity, by using IFTTT to play a specific "Sonos Favourite" you’ve already “Added to your My Sonos” app home screen area.Requirements: You’ll need to first have a basic IFTTT account with Google Assistant and Sonos added as Services. And you’ll need to have already added what you want Google Assistant to specifically play (ie a playlist) to your My Sonos area by selecting it in the Sonos app and choosing the option "Add Playlist to My Sonos".  Steps: You then “create” a new applet in IFTTT that uses Google Assistant service for the "If This" part choosing "Say a simple phrase” to trigger it. Then you choose the "Then That” action which uses the Sonos serv

Hello there, I recently connected my Arc and Gen 3 Sub to my Prism+ TV through the HDMI (ARC) port without any challenges. The sound stage is stunning! Especially the solid and punchy bass from the Sub. However, the Google Assistant through the Arc is unable to turn on the TV. The TV’s built-in Google Assistant was working well. My TV model is Prism+ QE86 Pro.Any thoughts from anyone? 

Hiwe are experiencing some GA issues with our sonos setup.We have a kitchen (1x play one) and a dining area (2x play one in stereo).The rooms are next to each other and it is very easy for all speakers to hear the “hey Google” trigger.  If I ask a question, I would expect the closest room to reply, but both rooms reply and generates sort of an echo  Is that how it is when it is not native Google speakers? 

Hi All,I have a Sonos Arc surround setup (Arc + Sub + Ones). I have NOT set up any voice assistants.Randomly (sometimes in the middle of the night!), the Arc will say "hmm something went wrong, try again in a few seconds", literally at maximum volume.Googling this phrase seems to point at a Google Home / Assistant error. Again, I do NOT have Google set up on any of my Sonos speakers. I do have 3 x Google Home minis dotted around the house, but obviously they should not be connected to the Sonos in any way.Any ideas what may be causing the Google Assistant buried within the Arc to randomly activate?! It's pretty creepy...Cheers,Su

I have seen old posts about this but no solutions. I have a Sonos One with google assistant. I also have a Roam and Move. None of these speakers are able to play white noise indefinitely like you can on Google Home/Nest products. It will play 15 minutes to 1 hour of ocean sounds and then stop. This is a problem if you use white noise for kids naps or sleep. Sonos phone and email support have not been able to explain to me the problem. I have seen complaints about this with Alexa too and it’s related to some sort of time out.Appreciate if others have the same problem or know what the reason is. I imagine Google also makes full implementation of their voice difficult.

I’ve bought a Beam 2 - first Sonos speaker. And I’m not overly impressed…Sonos have an exellent reputation but I’ve had quite a few annoying issues.Started with the setup not working and having to do it manually. It then decided my location was India and so neither voice assistants worked. When I finally got that figured out I discovered that every time I ask it to play ‘BBC radio 4’ it plays 4 Extra instead. Can’t find a solution to that one (other than the app).I also can’t seem to set up a speaker group with Google speakers. I naively assumed that since they all use Google Assistant that they would all be able to go into a group for synchronous playback.Does anyone know any solutions to these issues? I’m kinda wishing I’d just bought another Google speaker tbh.

I have a surround system with an Amp, two cabled front speakers and two Sonos One surround speakers. As default Sonos chooses the left Sonos One (surround) as the speaker used for interaction with Google Assistant. It would be more convenient for me to use the RIGHT Sonos One surround speaker for this. How can I change this setting?

Why Sonos has google assistant but won’t let me play Apple Music, accounts appear to be linked correctly

I have just set up a new Sonos account for a new Sonos One (gen 2) but when trying to add it to Google Home (following the steps outlined here https://support.sonos.com/s/article/3486 as well as attempting to add directly from the Google Home app), I get an error message saying that this is not available in my country. As per this article https://support.sonos.com/s/article/3491 this should not be the case. I have my address set in both the Google Home app and in the Sonos account to the UK. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Sonos app (as this is the only piece of advice that seems to be available online.

Hello!Apparently Sonos now support Google home routines in their google assistant implemetation which is great :)However, when I start the routine “Good night” and the choosen sounds has been playing for the standard 1 hour duration, the assistant suppendly speak up and says somthing like “I dont understand this command!”.This is very annoying since this is the sleeping mode so to say and you dont want to wake up by this sound. I had a pure google speaker prior to the sonos one and that one did not have this issue.It is like the assistant doesn’t understand the command but the routine is play anyway and the error message is postponed until the routines has played.Note that this is the swedish version of the assistant.

Hello sonosYou keep "solving" all these threads about multiple streams started from Google/Alexa by pointing the finger to google/amazon. Sonos is a big company and you use voice control as a major selling point as you do with multiple room playback. This is very disappointing! Are you working on a solution?(I use spotify premium) 

Just picked up a Beam (Gen 1). For the life of me, I can't set it up as a Google smart speaker. I am able to link my Sonos and Google accounts, but when I try to use the Google Assistant app to set up the Beam for use as a smart speaker, the Assistant app (iOS) literally just crashes. The Assistant app recognizes the Beam, but then instead of finishing up the setup process, it just closes. Tried on my iPad - same result. I posted on /r/sonos, and at least one other person is having this issue. 

With regular google assistant devices, if I say “turn on the lights” it will turn on lights in the same room.With the Beam, the same command will turn on lights in the whole house. Likewise I can’t control the thermostat of the room that contains the Beam. It changes all of them.What am I missing? The Beam is definitely in the right room in Google Home. 

I'm using Sonos roam and Google assistant. Previously when using Google home mini, whenever I asked him to play one specific song, he automatically started a radio/queue and kept playing similar songs.When I ask Google assistant on Sonos roam to play a song he makes no queue. Just plays this one song and stops. Any suggestions?

Got the speakers based on voice command and True Tone….only to find out that this functionality is not available in NZ….I was also looking to add these speakers to a group using Google home, also not available in NZ…I now have a nice pair of Dumb speakers…Is there a workaround or hack?

When will Sonos be able to play Apple Music using Google Assistant? The functionality is available through the Google home app. I know I'm just being a brat here but I really want this. I hate using Alexa but at least she works with Apple Music. 

Hi all, Currently i setting up my home to have a Sonos One Gen 2 in every room. Wanted to configure google assistant such that: In Room 1, If give command to turn off fan, it will only turn off fan in room 1, leaving the rest on. In Room 2, if give command to turn off xmas tree light, it will not execute as xmas tree is in living room. In room 3, if give command Goodnight, only turn off the lights and smart devices in room3. Can i make use of google assistant and home app plus sonos app to achieve this? Thanks for you time. Cheers Jim

I recently purchased Sonos Roam and I added RadioApp as a service under Music & Content.When I ask Google assistant to play a radio stations using RadioApp (3AW, Fox FM, SEN, ABC Melbourne) the assistant says “Sorry, it looks like RadioApp isn’t currently supported on Sonos Roam”.I have tried using TuneIn, however my most listened to radio station (3AW) no longer streams on TuneIn as of August this year according to their statement: https://www.3aw.com.au/how-to-hear-3aw-on-sonos-and-other-devices/Can someone please assist me to play 3AW and other Australian radio stations using Google Assistant on Sonos Roam?
