possible to set a preferred music provider?

Hi everyone - Like many, I have multiple streaming services, but would like Apple Music to be the primary service searched when using Sonos voice controls. How do I get Sonos voice to first look for music on Apple Music vs. Amazon? Specifying via voice control doesn’t work 100% of the time…

How can I override the request for an airplay code from the iPhone podcast app?

I’ve scoured the community for an answer to this, and all I see is the recommendation to check my smart tv and disable passwords (none are enabled) or to factory reset, which I prefer not to do. Is there someplace in the Sonos app or on iPhone settings I can control this? I don’t even see Airplay on my settings list on my iPhone 12. Thanks!

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?

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?

Sonos keep saying "your Spotify account needs to be linked first" when it is linked

Hi, My sonos beam keep saying "your Spotify account needs to be linked first" even though it is linked on google assistant/google home.  My beam worked just fine with Spotify, but for some reason suddenly stopped and keep throwing this error.  When I use Sonos app on my phone and click Spotify and play music on the app, it will still play though. Only when I am trying to play Spotify using voice command, it won’t work. (when I ask Sonos to play music on youtube, my other music provider, it will play through the voice command though)  When I use my google assistant with my mobile device and ask it to play Spotify, it will play so it’s not a google assistant issue.  Could you please check if there’s a way to fix it? i’ve linked and unlinked Spotify on google assistant, uninstalled and installed all relevant app (google home, assistant, Spotify, Sonos...) Thanks

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.

Sonos Voice wont play LBC UK

Title says it all, really. I can’t get SVC to play LBC radio. If I choose it through the app, it’s fine. But with SVC I get weird and wonderful results. I’ve scoured the forums and tried everything I’ve found as suggestion, all to no avail.Has anyone been successful in this, and if so, could you please tell me the magic words?

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

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 Voice Control - “Hey Sonos - Play more songs by this artist” command is inspiring when used to create playlists of songs based directly on current artists playing on ‘Live Apple Music One Radio Station!’

On Sonos One - using Sonos Voice Control - “Hey Sonos - Play more songs by this artist” voice command when a certain artist is playing on ‘Apple Music One Live Radio’ is so inspiring that it makes me Eager to listen more and try it on more music artists. Particularly useful if the name of the artist is unfamiliar to pronounce like some of the classical music artists - or you just simply forget what to ask for - making this more convenient - to quickly get to the music.  The result is it plays a radio station type playlist which I feel is sequenced in the style of what you have just heard and the chosen tracks portray the style of music that particular artist conveys - a bit like Creating a Station - Based on a particular song.” Alternatively, To get achieve a similar concept you could say “Hey Sonos - Play a station by this Artist” or “Hey Sonos - Play a Playlist by this Artist.”

Voice Control Weirdness

I have two issues/questions regarding voice control I am hoping to solve.The first is when I ask Sonos to turn my tv on (Arc connected to Vizio m55-c2 tv via arc) it turns on the TV but the input is switched to the hdmi that the Arc is connected to, showing a weird black and white screen saver. Is there a way to make the TV come on with voice and stay on the last hmdi input it was set to? Second, using my firestick TV remote voice control to do anything causes the TV to switch to the hdmi input the ARC is connected to with the same black and white screen saver? What is going on here? Thanks.

Sonos voice control with with Sonos One SL and Playbar

Hello --   I have one Sonos One speaker (voice enabled), one Sonos One SL (no mic) and two Sonos Playbars (no mic).  I’m trying to create various groups so I can ask my voice enabled Sonos One to play music “upstairs.”  This would require grouping the Sonos One, Sonos One SL and a Playbar (as an example).  Will my Sonos One group itself with my Sonos One SL and Playbar, both of which do not have mics? Thanks. Dave

SVC and "My Radio Stations"

I have numerous streams set up as URLs via the "My Radio Stations" functionality in my Sonos Arc. Included among these are Soma.FM's Groove Salad (and a number of Soma’s other streams), and a bunch of subscription-only streams from DI.FM.I can easily start these from the Sonos controllers on my Mac, iPhone, and iPad.How do I start these streams with Sonos Voice Control? I've tried a bunch of different ways of phrasing the request, and SVC doesn't seem to understand.I'm not looking for any level of interaction with these services (or the others that I use by URL) - I do NOT care about Next/Previous, Forward/Rewind, Shuffle, Repeat (none of these are available with a URL-based stream anyway) - I just want SVC to start playing the requested URL-based streams that are already saved in "My Radio Stations".(It would be nice if the "what's playing" request worked - the controller apps seem to be able to pull this from the mp3/aac stream just fine - but I'd give even that up if I could just as

Sonos Voice Assistant keeps "not understanding" when my wife is not talking to it.

We have Sonos in most rooms in our home. I've turned on the voice assistant in most of those rooms. Unfortunately, it keeps chiming in on my wife's 'regular' conversations in the house. Not me, just her. Anytime she says a word that contains or starts with a hard 'S', it will respond with that it doesn't understand and to check with the Sonos app. Well, frankly, we didn't ask you, and it's getting creepy!Since this is an edge device with no cloud component, how can we possibly troubleshoot this?
