Sonos Voice Control

I've been trying for the last few days to get Sonos Voice to play radio stations but to no avail. I've tried just asking, I've tried specifying '...on sonos radio', it just says it doesn't understand, or it can't find that content. Anyone else have this issue or could offer any suggestions?For info, the specific station I really need to work is LBC (my wife listens to it all the time and until this works I can't switch from alexa) but I've tried various others too.

I am trying to add Sonos voice to a Beam.  The Beam is powered on and is on the latest version (I checked in the app).  I can play Sonos radio on it fine from the app so the Wifi is working correctly.  However when I step through the process of adding Sonos voice I get the end and always get this error:“There was a problem connecting to Family Room.  Make sure all your products are powered on and connected to Wifi”I’m not sure what to do at this point.

Back in 2019, Sonos purchased Snips, a voice platform, with the intention of making “the voice experience on Sonos even better”. Reflecting on my own experiences lately using both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, I really hope Sonos is close to launching their own voice assistant soon that can overcome many of the shortcomings of these two voice assistants, especially in terms of playing music.In particular, I’d like to see a voice assistant that can:Play lossless / Hi-Res / HiFi music from a music service Differentiate between your personal playlists and public music platform playlists Play music from your own local music libraryWhat would you like to see it do, based upon the issues and frustrations you’re encountering in trying to play music with your voice assistant of choice?

Hi All, I just started using the new Sonos Voice Assistant and it seems to be working quite well so far. Whenever I ask it to play an album or a song it likes to always default to Apple Music, but I’d rather it default to Amazon Music without have to always specify “On amazon Music” every time I ask it something.  Any ideas how to achieve this?Thanks

Coming June 1?https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/4/23056149/sonos-voice-assistant-features-release-date?“Hey Sonos” will be the wake word for Sonos Voice Control, and the company’s internal tests show it to be quicker than competing assistant services at core music tasks.I would love to see the ability to play songs from my personal music library using Sonos Voice.

This is a completely speculative question that can’t be confirmed yet but I’m just wondering if people think it’s possible. Based upon what I’ve seen and what’s coming up, it really looks like a strong possibility to me.Sonos previously purchased a voice assistant company called Snip a while back and it’s currently looking to hire someone to lead their Home Theater OS department. While thinking about how they could then use their own voice assistant to control not just music but TVs as well, I also remembered that Matter is being delayed to this Fall as well.Suddenly this all made me realize something. What if Sonos is going to take advantage of this and create not just a music/tv voice assistant but a full blown home voice assistant that suddenly will have access to tons of Matter compatible devices this Fall, thus making Sonos no longer dependent upon third-party voice assistants like Google, Alexa, & Siri?Be interesting to see how this unfolds and if it becomes a reality or not.
