Sonos Voice phonetics

Hi. I’m using the Apple Music Service on a Sonos Era 100 stereo pair. When I ask Sonos Voice to play “Golden Ticket” by “Highasakite” it fails to do anything. When I use the Sonos app to play the song, and then ask Sonos Voice to name the song, it says “Golden Ticket” by “Higasakite” (Hig, not High).So, I then try asking Sonos Voice for Golden Ticket by Higasakite - and it tells me it can’t find it!Note : Alexa Voice control manages to find the song.

Disable talkback in Sonos voice

When I say play, I just want it to play. Same as stop. Tv on/off.  I don't want to hear 2 sentence in an accent that hurts my ears. Are there absolutely no configuration options for voice control and voices? Like talkback volume? Will there be?

Sonos Voice Control when using Boost?

Since the new app update - all of my products that are connected to my boost (about 75% of my system) show as “Network Unavailable” and therefore cannot have Voice Control set up.  They are definitely connected devices and in the System Info page they all show “WM:SONOSNET” (BTW - this appears to be new to me but assuming it just means they are connected to the Boost). Does anyone know how to get your speakers on Voice control when connected to the boost?

Feature request: Voice Control volume / verbosity settings

I would like more control over the voice feedback. I love Giancarlo as much as the next guy, but he often sounds way louder than my music.  Also, I’d like the option to have Sonos just follow my commands and skip telling me what it’s doing.  I feel like people have been asking for these things for as long as Sonos has taken voice commands.

Unable to contact Support

I am unable to contact support. I have spent hours trying to get Voice Assistant to work. It tells me I must first put my country in my profile, which I have done, but it still won’t let me. The microphone is not working.

Sonos voice pouts?

Does sonos voice pout?  I feel like it is a petulant brat.  As long as it is able to comply with my command, it remains eager to serve.  As soon as it cannot, it just ignores me.  These are not complex demands.  They are things like “Hey sonos, play Jazz.” I know it is still listening because I can see the little green light winking on the speaker (Beam).  After it pouts for awhile, sometimes overnight, it will cheerfully begin responding to my requests again.  Restarting the app and even deleting and reloading voice does not solve the problem.

SVC needs a wake chime

Hey Sonos!I love the new Sonos Voice Control feature! I'm so excited that you got Giancarlo Esposito; the man has the best voice on the planet! The voice control does everything I want it to, EXCEPT have a wake word chime, like Alexa does. I want one to make it clearer when the voice control system is listening. Currently I'm just listening for a subtle drop in the music volume, which isn't as satisfying as a nice affirming chime like Alexa's. Am I missing an option somewhere? If not, I would love it if a chime could be added.Thanks Spotify!

how can I Change the Volume of Allsystem Spoken Text like hey Sonos

I am still searching for a possibility to change the volume of all Spoken messages like response on Alexa or a response on “Hey Sonos”. When I listen with silent volume to music, all spoken messages are as well not loud enough I would like to have a setting that a chest the volume of all spoken messages in relation to the music volume. In addition to that I want to set a minimum volume for all spoken messages. For instance if I have silent music, I want to have a minimum volume that needs to be kept for all announcements. Otherwise, I cannot hear or anything like that. How can I achieve this?

How to stop Sonos voice feedback?

I’ve just bought my first Sonos product - Era 100 - and it sounds great.I’m using the Sonos voice control to play radio stations.  ie. “Hey Sonos - play BBC radio 6”.All works fine but the voice feedback - “Awesome, “Great choice” etc is so irritating.I checked the app but couldn’t find a way to disable this.  Am i missing something?

Is Spanish being considered for Sonos Voice Control?

I want to stop using Amazon Alexa and Sonos Voice Control approach should work perfectly for me… except I’m a Spanish speaker and I have to awkwardly speak English to my speakers. Is Spanish being considered as a new language for Sonos Voice Control?

Sonos Voice Control Alarm playing only in one speaker on Era 100 stereo pair

Hi I have a stereo pair of Era 100s setup in a room. I have activated Sonos Voice Control on the right speaker.When I issue an alarm command “Hey Sonos set alarm for 5 minutes”, the right speaker responds confirming the command, however when the alarm chime sounds after 5 minutes it only plays in the left speaker and I can only turn it off at the left speaker.Any suggestion on how to get the alarm to play in both speakers? And so I don’t have to walk over to the left speaker to turn it off and can do it on the right speaker.

Sonos Voice Control Group Leveling

Recently started using Sonos Voice Control and tried using the command to level out the volume for all speakers. Sonos voice assistant shot back with a confirmation, even going so far as to say, “Setting the volume for all speakers to 20%,” but when I checked the app for confirmation I was getting different volume levels across the board. Anyone else having a similar experience? Tried doing a quick search but the only solution I found was the one I previously employed which required me to go into the app, slide the group volume down all the way, let go for half a second, and drag the slider back up.Any insights would be appreciated.

Feature Request: Sonos Voice Play Different Spotify Streams in Different Rooms

Well the day I’ve waited years for finally came today - Sonos Voice finally works with Spotify and I can use my voice to get the same multi-room music experience as I can in the Sonos app.Unfortunately, my dream of playing different music from our Spotify family account in different rooms is still unrealized.Even though Sonos Voice now works with Spotify, it appears to play directly from the Spotify app rather than through the Sonos app, making it impossible to play different music in different rooms via Sonos Voice.In short, we still need to go through the app to play different music in different rooms. 😭Could this feature be added at some point in the future?I dream of the day my young kids don’t have to fight over who gets to play from Spotify.

Sonos Voice Control and multiple Spotify accounts

So after learning today that Sonos Voice Control can finally control Spotify I quickly ditched Google Assistant.  We’ve got 4 Spotify accounts registered with Sonos and I can’t figure out a way to get it to play from a specific Spotify account. Has anyone else been able to get this working?

Sonos Apple Music Custom station based on song tailoring

I manually created a station based on a song in the Sonos app Apple Music section  If I say, Hey Sonos, I don’t like this song It replaces what is playing with something else  If I say  Hey Sonos, like this song  It says I will play more songs like this on Apple Music  Is that specifically tailored songs altering the playlist of the station based on that song  Or more generally

Sonos voice control with Deezer (as only service) will not play Deezer playlists.

As topic says, using voice control on Sonos ROAM will not play a playlist that is saved on Deezer.The command instead seem to be searching for the playlist name as a search term, and then playing those songs.Example:Hey Sonos, play ‘My Favourites’ [and various variations inclusive of service name etc] The playlist is saved in Deezer as My Favourites, and still successfully add to the list via voice command to add a song to ‘My Favourites’This featue has been the most used and why I used Sonos, as it use to work.Any suggestions? Anyone else having same issue? I found a near matching topic here [closed] I did update to latest firmware.

Intercom feature request

Hey! Since many of your products have both speaker and microphone in the same device, would it be impossible to contact two (or more of these) in a “call” with each other?  Apparently Sonos isn’t able to use Amazon Alexa drop in feature (because of missing blinking LEDs or something?), but could you perhaps make it’s own intercom feature for multiroom homes with multiple speakers? Just use Sonos Voice Control instead of Alexa/Google Assistant to enable this feature so you wouldn’t be affected by other companies like Amazon? I know I’m not alone wanting badly this feature without use of any additional echo devices. Sincerely yours,Aksulotli

Feature request: Sonos Voice turn off status lights

Just got a Beam gen2 and have been loving it. Though it would be nice to be able to say “Hey Sonos, turn off status lights” to turn off speaker lights during a movie. The option to turn off the status light is several touches and swipes to get to. It would be much more convenient way to access with Sonos Voice.
