Unable to set up Voice Control on Arc

Hi Community,Any a suggestions? When I try to enable Voice Control on my Arc (connect via ethernet), I get the following error: "There was a problem starting Sonos Voice Control. Make sure your mobile device is connected to Wi-Fi." My phone (Pixel 7 Pro) is definitely connected to WiFi on the same network as the Arc. I've rebooted it, still the same.I did enable VC briefly when the feature became available, but subsequently disabled it.Any advice gratefully received,Andy

How to play Apple Music (from 3 accounts) playlists with Sonos Voice

Hello,We’re 3 Sonos users at home, each of us logged on his smartphone with Sonos and with his own Apple Music account set. My issue is around Voice Control or Alexa. How can I ask a specific playlist to be played? Example: my son has an Era 100 in his bedroom and when he asks “Hey Sonos, plays my playlist Likés” it plays another playlist, from another Apple Music accountDoes anyone has a solution to allow everyone in the same house, to ask for music, from different Apple Music or Podcasts account?

How do I control Sonos voice feedback (Sonos "answers" to my vocal commands) to make sure it answers me on the right speaker ?

Hi guys,I have no idea how to fix my problem.I use Sonos voice control to play/pause/change my music and control the volume.I have 3x Era 100: 1 in the living room (ground floor), 1 in the kitchen (ground floor), and 1 in the bathroom (upstairs, besides my children’s rooms).Sometimes, I ask Sonos to play music e.g. only in the kitchen. For a weird reason, Sonos has decided that it will answer my vocal commands on the speaker that is upstairs.For another weird reason, Sonos has also decided that it will answer me super loudly on this speaker.This leads to very uncomfortable moments, where I am in the kitchen and ask for some music and Sonos yells from the bathroom upstairs (“SORRY, I CAN’T FIND THAT”, or “SURE!”, or “HERE IS NORAH JONES FROM SPOTIFY”), which is very displeasing as it sometimes wakes up my young children.Thank you!TL;DR: I use Sonos voice control mainly in the kitchen. However, Sonos sometimes "answers" me super loudly on a speaker that is far away (in the bathroom), som

Sonos Voice Control voice response way too loud .... How to change response volume level ?

Turned on Sonos Voice Control and it works great.  Problem is that the volume of the Voice Control reponse is much to loud.  No matter what the level of music playing is the Sonos Voice Control reply seems to remain constant … but the volume is problematic as it is so loud. Hoping there is a way to control and change the volume of the Sonos Voice Control response voice.  Does anyone know how to do this and are you experiencing the same problem where the voice response is much much too loud ? The command “Hey Sonos Voice Control Softer” does lower the level of the voice control response.  If I set the music level louder though the voice control level seems to then match the music level volume.  Problem is that playing music at 70 or 80% sounds fine and not too loud but then the Voice Control level response changes and sounds much louder that the level of the music that was playing. Want to be able to play music at a pleasant level and have the Sonos Voice assistant response level stay t

Please make sure your mobile device is connected to Wi-Fi. Tried several times. The mobile device is on the same network. And there is no issues with the connection. Any solution would be appreciated.

No weather location option in sonos voice control settings

Hi everyone !As stated in the post title, there’s no weather location option in sonos voice control settings so when I ask about weather to SVC it says I have to setup the location…To provide any possibly relevant details :- I confirm the app as well as all speakers firmwares are running last version.- In case it matters I am French and so everything is settled in French language.- I tried with both iPhone and iPad apps (I haven’t any android device to check)- I already tried to uninstall and install again SVC as it was already installed prior the new version but without success…Thanks for reading and if you have any ideas I’m all ears 🙏😊

Individual Sonos’s x Spotify Family

I’m trying to let each of my children play Spotify content on their own Sonos speaker via voice control, without taking over or interrupting each other’s sessions. It’s not working and it’s driving everyone crazy. Here’s the current setup. Anyone see what I’m doing wrong? Spotify Premium Family with individual accounts for each family member (5) Sonos Roam for each child’s room (3) Each child has their own iPad with the Sonos app installed. Each instance of the app is signed in to my Sonos account that has all speakers added to the system. Sonos Voice Control has been added for each child’s speaker The child’s Spotify account has been selected within their instance of Sonos app Each child’s iPad has the Spotify app, signed in to their account (full Spotify - not Spotify Kids) Concurrent playback DOES work when each child starts a session from the Spotify app and selects their speaker. It DOES NOT work when starting a session from the Sonos app. Whatever was last played will shows up in

System owner does not make sense!!!!

In my household, apparently it is only possible to have one system owner. If I want to use Sonos voice assistant, it is not possible for me to use my OWN playlist. If the system owner is not present, I cannot add a new Sonos device nor edit my OWN Sonos device. I think this is A very poor thought through concept as everybody should be able to edit the Sonos household, or at least let the System owner give the rights to different Sonos users that are in the same household. Because now I cannot use my Sonos to my full extent and have an incredibly limited use of my own Sonos. I cannot even wake let my Sonos wake me up with my own music. And I cannot reach the Sonos customer service if I don’t wait at least 30 minutes on the line. Also, the chat feature is unusable as you start at at least eight place and have to wait extremely long. The Sonos customer service is one of the most exhausting and customer unfriendly list services. I have tried to reach in a long time.

sonos voice control Home Assistant integration

Please create an integration for Sonos to Home Assistant. I don't understand why you would be this horrible and lock your system down so much? Please at least allow the community to create a home assistant integration for config management and custom voice commands. This is really unbelievable that this is not a thing still.I don't like being this negative about it, but you're making my speakers worse and worse since I bought them and I'm seriously considering just selling all the Sonos products I already have and moving away permanently from anything Sonos. Stop pushing so hard for gimmicks no one really wants and get your core products to actually work.

Move 2 - Can’t add Sonos Voice Assistant

First of all the App (I know, shocking right) is incredibly confusing and ambiguous, and isn’t clear if voice control is actually installed on my Move 2 or not. Some sections appear to say it is, but I think this is partly because the app doesn’t off doesn’t always clearly differentiate between individual speakers or global system settings. When I try to add Sonos voice control to ‘another speaker’, the Move 2 appears and I follow the onscreen directions, but it always fails after a few minutes. The mic button on the back is on, by the top one is off, and it just flashes for a while when I press it. All firmware and software up to date at time of posting. I have tried a factory reset but doesn’t help.  Is there another I can try, or is yet another broken feature I will just have to wait for to be fixed?

My Sonos Voice Control won't install

 I'm not sure if it's a Beam or Internet issue, the mic just stopped responding to my queries. I uninstalled SVA then when I'm trying to install it, the installation takes a long time and fail afterwards. Even Alexa won't install. Any ideas? I already tried reset and rebooting my phone it still won't install.

voice control

My Sonos voice control won't action simple commands like set timer. I try and it makes a double sound and says there's an error use the Sonos app.I also cannot connect Alexa no matter what I do from any app. And once Bluetooth is connected to a device it will constantly try and reconnect even if the device is off. I try tapping the Bluetooth button, it turns off and then after a few seconds it tries to reconnect again. It even makes the reconnection sound though music. I have to unpair it from the connected device for it to stop.So three issues. Cannot connect Alexa, cannot use voice control for some commands and cannot stop Bluetooth from reconnecting constantly. I'm at the point where I might just take them back.

Stop Sonos from reaponding to itself

Now and then while watching TV, my Sonos system seems to hear a command from the TV audio - I assume some chunk of audio sounds like enough like “Hey Sonos” to get triggered. This causes the audio to duck, and sometimes the system says “Yes?” I feel like the system should be smart enough to ignore its own output. If it’s supposed to be, it’s not working in this case. I feel like this doesn’t happen when playing music, just TV audio via eARC.

youtube music and sonos voice control

everyone should know that Sonos voice control is absolutely terrible and does not even support YouTube Music. It’s a swindle to try to con you into buying their music service. The only one that supports voice control. I’m absolutely returning this thing immediately. It used to be illegal to false advertise in this country. when I bought this thing, I absolutely envisioned myself controlling YouTube Music with my voice using this device And was 100% convinced that that was going to be possible. but no. sonos: Very clunky and incompatible. does sound good though

Play BBC radio via voice?

Is there currently no way to play BBC radio through voice commands? Like ‘ok Sonos play BBC radio 1”? I’ve also added it to my favorites and still can’t get it to play radio 1 via voice. Like ‘ok Sonos, play my favorites’. I assume, currently there is no voice control for radio, as at the moment it plays a promo for radio 5 (random) when I ask it to play radio 1.
