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.

sonos voice control: i can't locate that...

All of a sudden, I'm having issues with one of our arcs. When trying to use sonos voice control for any command it will reply,  "I can't locate that. Please check your product name." I can say anything and that's the reply. Tried unplugging the power. Tried removing voice control and reinstalling. Tried unplugging, holding down Infiniti button to reset, reinstalling voice control... all fails with same message. The arc shows up in my controller and it works via my phone but the Sonos voice command simply stopped working when it had been working just fine for a year. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Roam, Sonos Voice Control, and Pandora

A Roam as my first piece of Sonos Voice Controlled hardware.  I find that SVC works fine for controlling Sonos Radio, but not for accessing content from my Pandora account, which I have set as my default service.  All I get is “we’re having trouble connecting to your music provider, please try again later.”  I have removed and reinstalled SVC and also reauthorized access to my Pandora account from Sonos, but to no avail.  Suggestions?

Sonos Voice control works for me, ignores my wife

Hi there,Both myself and my wife’s Apple Music is setup in the Sonos App under the same Sonos ID (Mine)If I use ‘Hey Sonos’ and issue a command, I have no issues.If my wife issues the same command she is totally ignored?Is this usual behaviour, or are we doing something wrong with our setup please?Should each user in the house login to the Sonos App with their own login credentials or share mine? Or is this irrelevant 😀 We are using the Full Home Cinema set-up with Arc, Sub, and two One SL’s. Any help would be greatly appreciated.thanksGary

How vocal control works with goups

Hi,It seems that Sonos doesn’t understand the vocal command “Hey Sonos, play lounge music on the ‘rez de chaussée’”.Rez-de-chaussée is a group I created (it means : downstairs).It doesn’t works on any group (Étage, Partout or Rez-de-chaussée).I have the last version of Sonos App Beta.Thanx for your analyse.BR

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.

Voice assistant

When I first set up my system I set it up with Alexa. Can I also add Sonos voice control? Therefore having both Alexa and Sonos. Is it even necessary? Are there any benefits of having both? Thx 😊

If a Sonos One Gen 1 is stereo paired with a Sonos One Gen 2 - does the speed of the Gen 1 hinder the speed of the Sonos voice assistant?

If a Sonos One Gen 1 is stereo paired with a Sonos One Gen 2 - does the speed of the Gen 1 hinder the speed of the voice assistant booting up as Alexa currently boots up quicker on my Gen 1 - almost automatically - than Sonos Voice Control? Is Sonos Voice generally more responsive on Sonos One Gen 2?

Sonos Roam - Sonos Voice Assistant does not work whilst music is playing

Hey Sonos used for work well on my Roam speaker, however over the last week or so - it fails to work if something is being played from the speaker. It’s almost as if the microphone is disabled once music plays automatically.  The voice assistant works when nothing is playing - once playing it doesn’t pick up any voice commands (not matter how loud I shout!). If I manually pause, I sing the buttons at the top - it will then recognise my voice again.  I am aware of the doable microphone button and this is not the issue.  Can anyone help! It’s really annoying

Voice Command "Switch to TV mode" for Group

I have GROUP called Main that includes my:1.TV ARC/L&R Play Ones/Sub in Family Room 2. Play One in KitchenWhen watching TV in Family Room with full TV audio playing I often say “Hey Sonos play on MAIN” while in earshot of the Kitchen Sonos 1. I’m finding that I must say “Hey Sonos switch to TV Mode” for the entire MAIN group to stop playing music and start playing the TV audio; for some reason it defaults to music on the “Play on Main” command. I finally discovered the “Switch to TV Mode” command here on the forum and thanks for that BUT: Is there a way to make my DEFAULT audio to always be TV (vs Music) when I say “Hey Sonos play on Main” when the TV is already playing and I want to include the entire “MAIN” group with that same TV audio? BTW turning the TV off/on again will default to TV audio on MAIN group and incidentally “hey sonos stop” in the kitchen first causes the TV to go on mute with unmuting NOT flowing to TV audio in the group/kitchen; both less than desired intents.

Voice control does not recognise tracks or artists

Hi All...hope there’s some help out there.I have had Sonos Play, moved away for a while, but back now with Era100 and Deezer as my subscribed streaming service. I have Sonos voice control (SVC) activated. SVC recognises and plays, say, The Ink Spots but will not recognise and play Slim Whitman. This is one example, there are many - it will not find Shostakovich Romance The Gadfly or Opus 97a - none of these trigger a response through Deezer, even though I have manually found the music I wanted through these keywords in the app search, and played them. What gives with this? I have a perfectly well rounded English voice, with no regional accent and am speaking clearly and close enough. I can elicit a response for Goldfrapp, Orbital, The Ink Spots etc, but not, it seems, the more rarely requested? Any thoughts?The American rejection voice is also becoming a little tedious I have to say, with today’s AI it would be nice to have a Kate Blanchett telling me to find what I want in the Sonos A

SVC

I’ve read several posts regarding SVC no longer working for Spotify and some answering that it never has?  SVC worked for Spotify on my Sonos Move2 until last week, I agree with the person that started this thread, SVC and Spotify did work.

No sound from ceiling speakers and cannot delete "Fixed Volume"

I have a system that is six years old in my home theater room. I have floor mounted speakers that work; however, the two ceiling speakers do not. My iphone app says the volume in that room is “fixed volume”. Can anyone offer advice before I reach out to Sonos directly?

SVC could use a "status" request command

Sonos Voice Control has a "what's playing" command, which is helpful, and there's apparently a way to check the battery level on battery powered speakers.I'd like to see another command added, something like "status", that would give more "state" information about my speakers (I can think of these offhand - there may be more):current Volume level current setting of Night Sound toggle current setting of Speech Enhancement toggle maybe which speakers/rooms, by name, are playingThe volume level would be particularly helpful - one can ask for louder or softer, or for specific volume levels, but I'm probably never going to ask for specific volume levels (even if I want to make a substantial change) without knowing what the volume level is *now*. Yes, I could look in the controller app. At that point, SVC has already lost, because if I have to open up the app, I'll just change the level there.

Are all of your speakers working for SVC grouping commands?

I’d love to know your experiences with the Sonos voice control grouping commands. It’s been wildly inconsistent for me, and support is stumped. Maybe we can find a workaround together.Using many permutations of grouping commands (e.g. “Add <product name>”, “Group <product 1> and <product 2>”, “Remove <product name> from group”) some products work great, and others are inconsistent, regardless of which phrasing I use.Sometimes it silently fails (but the music goes back to normal volume when it stops listening, so I know I did wake it up), sometimes it says "I can't locate that, please check your product names in the Sonos app."For a long time I thought it was fine for one-word names but failing on with two-words, but then “Living Room” and “Dining Room” started working along with “Kitchen” and “Office.”Consistently failing:Front Room Master Bedroom Master Bathroom(Could these be reserved words? I might try renaming later and will update if anything changes.) Upda

Sonos Voice Control and individual Apple Music Family accounts

Dear community,My family consists of me (father), my wife and my two sons. We have SONOS speakers all over the house, among them Play One’s in my kid’s rooms. We all have the SONOS S2 app installed on our individual iPhones, and each of us is logged into his or her own respective account of Apple Music Family, also being logged in to each one’s individual account of the Apple Music Family service on each one’s SONOS app. The SONOS system is registered to me.Obviously, we want to prevent that our four different music tastes are mixed. All works fine as long as the (Apple Music or SONOS) apps are used. Even when started by everyone’s SONOS app, the library, “recently played” section and music suggestions on the Apple Music accounts do not mix, it’s all allocated to the right account.Now enter voice control. My sons have Sonos One’s in their rooms and I understand that only one Apple Music account can be allocated to the houshold’s Alexa. Then we tried Sonos Voice Control and initially go

The only "Controlling Sonos with an Amazon Speaker/Alexa" thread you'll ever need!

I know there are tons of topics and megathreads explaining how to control your Sonos system using an Amazon speaker/Alexa however they all seem fragmented with different procedures and troubleshooting steps and are daunting to try and get through. I wanted to detail out the method that finally worked for me (and that Sonos Tier 1 tech support never reviewed with me).I am a custom integrator and at some point I found out that some of my customer’s Sonos systems no longer worked in conjunction with an Amazon speaker that had previously worked just fine. For example saying “Alexa, play some holiday music” to an Echo Dot with holiday music following in the associated Sonos zone...this stopped working at some point. This was no good as they had adapted to this simple method of playing music through their Sonos systems by simply telling it to.I am not referring to setting up Alexa on an Alexa-enabled Sonos speaker w/ a built-in mic (ARC, BEAM, ONE) as that seems very stable. I am referring t
