When I ask my Sonos: "Hey, Google! Play Heart 80s". It replies with: "Playing Heart 80s on TuneIn". However, it then says: "Sorry I can't find what you asked for". This is really disappointing, because Alexa plays radio stations without any issues. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Exactly the same issue reported https://en.community.sonos.com/google-assistant-and-sonos-229109/google-assistant-does-not-play-radio-stations-6833977 and https://en.community.sonos.com/google-assistant-and-sonos-229109/google-assistant-has-problem-playing-tunein-station-6825633 Weirdly Sonos seems to just keep closing the issues so you can’t comment on. Very poor customer service. As described in the other issues - this is 100% a Sonos issue. The error comes after control is handed back from Google to Sonos and the exact same voice commands work on google home devices on the same network.
I’m having an issue with the Google Assistant on my Beam. For the most part it works fine. At night I use it to play ambient sounds, but for some reason the sounds stop playing within an hour or two. I’ve looked up the GA help pages on ambient sounds and they state that the sounds will play up to 12 hours unless cancelled. I’ve not seeing this at all on the Beam. If I use a GA mini then it plays all night without issue, but obviously the Beam has superior sound so I’d like to to play there. Anyone else had this problem or know of a fix? Sonos support just tried to pawn this off on Google, which might be correct, but it seems like from what I can tell a GA here is the same as a GA there.
If I’m listening to music at volume 5 or 6 for example, and ask Google to play music or another command, the VOICE IT FAR TOO LOUD, I have to plug my ears.How do i change this?Google speakers used to have a voice setting for the voice volume, this is no longer there.Any updates?
I'm not sure if other assistant enabled devices have this issue, but the Google assistant on the beam has become pretty useless.I've set the default speaker for the beam to be the beam itself, but I still have to say what room/speaker I want the music to play on.If I ask to skip the song, or change the volume, I get the response "something went wrong". Even with voice match and Spotify premium, getting a playlist or most music to play only work about 40% of the time.The only way to make things work is to use some other Google home device to handle commands and set the beam as a default speaker.Does anyone else find the beams assistant integration lacking? Is there a fix?
I — like apparently so many others — have tried a million times to get Google Assistant connected to my Beam. It worked some years ago, but I must have made some changes... Anyway, I now got it to work by unlinking the Sonos account (which must have been created years ago) on Google. You want to go to your matching Google account and under ‘Security’ click on ‘Linked Accounts’. There, if you have an old Sonos account, unlink that. And then go back to Google Home (or the Sonos app, I guess) and do the normal procedure for adding a device.

Seems like this has been an ongoing issue but wanted to bring back to attention the inability to create speaker groups with sonos and google home products despite sonos being available with google assistant. Hoping someone has a work around or at least that sonos is moving towards this? Frustrating to use all other features of google assistant but this.
My Sonos Roam is on a shelf in my office. If I'm in another room in the presence of a Google device (Home or Home Mini) and ask it to play music, the Google device answers me but the Roam, in another room, plays the music. The Roam isn't responding to the query directly, but somehow it ends up playing the music anyway. How do I stop it doing that, so the music will come out of the speaker that's responding to me? This didn't happen before I had the Roam (eg the two Home devices didn't steal audio from each other). I had considered turning the Roam off as a workaround, by holding the power down for 5 seconds, but after a while it always turns back on again by itself so that's not a solution. Any ideas gratefully received!
I purchased roam two days ago and I'm having trouble since then. I use google assistant. When i ask it to play a specific song, the song is played but then it just stops unlike google home which keeps on playing similar kinda songs. Same as that problem when i ask it to play a specific song and ask it to skip the song it says ''sorry, something went wrong with sonos roam!!""And sometimes when i ask it to play something it replies 'alright playing ____ in youtube music but nothing plays!!Can someone help me with these issues?
Hello,Im a new owner of the roam and I'm having issues with setting up a recurring alarm.I tell google to set an alarm on Saturdays at 930am. It confirms this but it sounds the alarm at 9:30am on Sunday.When I ask Google when my alarm is it says it is on Saturdays 11:30pm snoozed until 9:30am.If I set an individual alarm it seems to work. My google branded home devices have no issues with this command. What gives?
HiFor a couple of years, I have used Sonos One Google Assistant to play Talksport every day when returning home from work. This has worked flawlessly. For the past week, I have said “Hey Google, play Talksport” and instead it has found and played a station called U105 Christmas. I’ve tried several times and it now does the same EVERY time. Any ideas appreciated Paul
Have linked assistant to my ARC and can see speaker on the Home App but when I try to play Spotify on Sonos, Assistant tries to connect and then states that the speaker is not available right now
Very happy with my Roam but apparently it does not work on SONOSNET (WMO) status WM1. The rest of my Sonos system only works on Sonosnet because I have a Mesh wifi system that, trust me, will not work correctly with Sonos (Mesh Tp-Link M9 Deco). The Roam works but I am not able to install Google assistant. Simply won’t find the Roam. It finds the other speakers just fine. (One, Arc) Could this have anything to doe with de WM1 status? Thanks in advance
See this topic had been discussed but I do not see a solution . I have rebooted. Reloaded Google assistant but same msg
Is it just me or is GA integration getting worse by the day? It's getting to the point now where you can't rely on an adequate response from any command. It's nearly always 'i can't do that right now' or I can't find any devices.... etc etc. I know it's not my set up as sometimes it work and sometimes it doesn't. It's clearly just bad implementation.It was bad from the start but I at least thought it would get better with time, never dreamt it could get worse. Whoops - can't seem to edit topic heading
I have overdrive linked in Sonos and I can play an audiobook via the app. How do I do this using google voice assistant?
About 6-8(?) weeks ago my a few of my devices dropped out of my household. I don’t know the trigger for that. Most of my voice capable devices suddently kept on “I can’t connect to the internet...” - the only exception was my Sonos Move. There are also some devices that was in the household that are not discoverable (does not appear in the list if devices). In the Voice section of my iOS app, when I go into the device list, it showed the Move and all the other devices that had been configured with voice was not shown (and when I try and add, it says all device already configured with voice). I went to my sonos.com profile and look at my system and a lot if them was showing “offline” even though they are up and has valid IPs. The voice capable devices had their mic enabled but I kept on getting the “can’t connect to internet error” when the wakeword is triggered. Those devices that are showing as offline in my sonos.com:profile:system cannot playback Spotify but can play local li
Have Sonos solved the issue of not being able to preset a fixed volume level for Google Assistant feedback? I know this issue has been discussed in several threads before, but it is annoying and it is 2021 now… *Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the community guidelines.*
I am trying to play music through Google assistant commands on sonos one. But it does not listen to my commands. I am using youtube music.
I have two Sonos Ones and set up Google Assistant through both.Google Assistant CONSTANTLY activates when we are having conversations that do not even use the word Google, when the TV is on and a character says anything vaguely resembling those words, and sometimes just randomly when there is no noise happening at all. Super over it and ready to turn it off. Anyone have this issue or any idea how to fix it? I do not have an option in my Google Home app on my phone (Pixel) to turn down the sensitivity of response and don’t know else to do.
Sonos move does not recognise google assistantOk so I got 2 Sonos move speakers connected to the wifi with the sonos app. I also have Google assistant installed on both of them.Now recently like 4 days ago I can’t use google to play music on my sonos. Weirder yet when I open the sonos app it says I cant find both sonos devices on the network. I check both speakers were on. I tried different machines phones/tablets same result. Funny thing when I said google commands like “turn lights on/off” it still worked. But when I tried the commands “play top40” it says something along the lines: “Sonos will play top40” followed by “Cannot play”.I tried to reset the speakers (process of turning them off and on the charger pressing some button). I reconfigured/installed them. I added the speakers again and tried to install google assistant. The first try it works, but when I give the command “play top40” it says again something along the lines: “Sonos will play top40” followed by “Cannot play”. But
Dear SonosAs a Sonos user which uses your integration with google assistant I think it’s absolutely horrible that you can’t choose the volume on the assistant. It doesn’t even include a mode for the evening/night. When I’m asking the assistant or for example turning of the lights in the night, assistant just screams out loud with the last playback volume and wakes up my whole family. This basically ruins the whole experience and makes it unusable, I’m even thinking of ditching the assistant on the Sonos speakers and buying some nests instead which i think shouldn’t even be considered when already having a full Sonos system. Please address this issue asap, or at least release a quick fix.
I am having an issue in sending a broadcast message from my Sonos One Gen2 and from my Sonos Beam. Whenever I try to send a broadcast from Sonos I receive the error “looks like there aren’t any other speakers connected on your home network so I can’t broadcast your message.” However if I send the instruction via the phone App or via Google Hub, the broadcast works just fine and sends it to all my speakers (delayed but works). I have done the following:Google Assistant on all speakers Default speaker selected for all speakers Address set for all speakers Latest software update for all speakersI have also deleted all the voice assistants from the speakers, unlinked the Sonos account from Google. Rebooted everything and put it all back and still no luck. So working fine on Google side to send and receive but on Sonos can only receive?
I have Sonos speakers in most of the rooms in my house. I also use Nest, for instance the Nest Hello doorbell. When someone rings it, there is a notification on all speakers 'someone's at the front door'. This is great, but I want the ability to switch this notification off in certain rooms, eg. the guest rooms.I have one Nest Mini speaker in one of the rooms. It has a menu option in settings 'Notifications and digital wellbeing'. There I can switch on/off notifications and there will be no doorbell announcement. How can I do this on the Sonos speakers?
Hi, My google home no longer recognizes my S1 sonos products (eg Connect:Amp). In google home I click on the “+” icon (upper left) and select “Set up device” and then “Works with Google”. Under the list of “Linked services” I do not see sonos. I then click on the search icon any type in sonos and click on the sonos icon. A pop up message indicating “Linking your sonos account” appears briefly and then the “Set up a device” screen appears. When I click on “Works with Google” again, Sonos does not appear in the linked services list. All of my software is updated. I do not see where I can unlink my sonos account from google home. I though unlinking and then relinking would help.Thank you in advance.
