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.

Microphone randomly turning on or off on new Sonos Arc with just Sonos Voice Control

I’ve just recently installed a Sonos Arc with eArc from a Samsung TV. I’ve noticed while I am watching video from a FireStick 4K Max, occasionally (seemingly randomly), the Arc will turn on or off the microphone. I haven’t noticed this happen while watching cable TV or through other HDMI sources (blue-ray, etc).I haven’t been able to narrow down any more details around when this happens other than it seems to be randomly and only with the Firestick input. I haven’t found anything similar on searches, but has anyone else experienced similar or how to get this to stop? I’m not using Alex or any other voice services other than Sonos Voice Control.

Command Narration

A couple of weeks back, our TV or spectrum or Sonos has started narrating every click of the remotes associated with our TV.  Example:  If I Click the volume up it narrates that I am clicking the volume up. I’m not sure what device is doing this…. But it’s driving me insane. Can anyone give any advice?

Voice commands not working on Sonos beam

Hi All,My sonos beam (in 5.1 configuration) suddenly stopped responding to voice commands- neither Alexa nor hey sonos work. I tried rebooting, forgetting sonos skill and re-enabling in Alexa app, also de registering and re registering- no avail. Voice commands are working well in all other devices- Move etc. I wonder if something is wrong with Beam hardware and it’s not able to listen to my commands anymore? it’s really annoying- and any help and guidance would be much appreciated. Many thanks

Hey Sonos only works with Sonos Radio?

It appears the “hey Sonos” command only pulls music or station from the sonos radio service, even if you have another service set to default.  hey Sonos always defaults to their Sonos service. Ive tried every verbal command possible.  I'm trying to play specific station from audacy and iheartradio. I give the command “hey Sonos, please today’s 101.9” or “….. from audacy”…..neither one does a thing.  it doesn't respond and just turns off.  if I say “hey Sonos play 101.9” it will play another 101.9 station that is in the Sonos service.  how you do you make “hey Sonos” work with the other services?  I hate having to do it from within the app.  I just want to talk to it.  I dont use Alexa or google.  I use Siri and HomeKit.  Siri completely understand and will play through my phone to my Sonos speakers...I dont want that as it uses my phone to play.  I want to use hey Sonos and have it stream directly to through the sonos speaker, not through my phone to the speakers. if sonos doesn't fix

Can't add Sonos Voice Control while connected to 5G router

I know LTE routers are not supported and I have read all the related articles but, so far, I have managed to create a system with a 2nd gen One (second one due to arrive in the next couple of days) and a Sub Mini, update each product and connect to Spotify and BBC Sounds without any real trouble. I managed to get Alexa working once I found out that you have to delete the Amazon Shopping app to make the connection work. I also tried adding Google Assistant before realising that you can't have both that and Alexa on the same speaker. The only thing I can't get to work is Sonos Voice Control. I have tried using 5GHz WiFi, 2.4GHz WiFi and even a hotspot but no dice. The "update" (don't ask me why SVC should be an update and not part of the basic firmware) crawls round to the full circle, hangs there fire a minute or two and then fails. I have tried wiping the app but to no avail. N. B. I am using Three's 5G broadband on a ZTE Mc801A and have a good stable 5G signal.  Can anybody (@Corry P)

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.
