Talk about Sonos Voice Control
Recently active
I’ve had Sonos one speaker with Alexa for years. I ask her to play Virgin radio or even bbc radio 1 or 2 and she says “playing virgin radio from Lianne’s radio” then plays nothing. it was working the other day, any ideas.
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
It seems that I am unable to get the newly released Sonos Voice Assistance now that it has been released. I have updated all of my apps (both on the Mac and iPhone) checked for updates, which shows as up to date and I still don’t have the option available. I have power reset the entire system.I have tried using multiple mobile devices, same result.App Version: 14.8.1Build: 68329240Can I get assistance?
The title pretty much says it: the app is at 14.8.1 and the system is updated, but when I go to Settings>Services&Voice>Add a voice assistant I don’t get the SVC. Still only get Alexa and Google. Anyone else? --EA
I live in the UK and I am able to use Sonos voice assistant. I didn’t think this was going to be available in the UK until later this year. I was able to use it from beginning of June. Is this now available throughout Europe or just certain countries? Thanks
Hi there, is Sonos voice control service available in South Africa? thanksjack
I’m currently on holiday, renting a cottage on the south coast of the UK. Took one of my Roam’s plus my Move with me to use with Bluetooth and I’m super impressed to find that Sonos Voice Control works on the speakers in a basic way on both the Roam and Move speaker. It will play/pause/go forward or back a song etc. I did notice when I got here that both white mic lights were on which I didn’t expect, but obviously they are on because it will work with basic functions (speaker only functions, rather than app functions). Do any of the other voice assistants works with a portable Sonos speaker out and about? I used to use Google Assistant but hadn’t at that point, taken any of my portable speakers out and about, so don’t know if it would have worked or not. I’m guessing not.
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
Is this an issue or am I being picky? Whenever I call out a station through Hey Sonos, an image of the station is not there, just a grey box even for Sonos Radio HD station.
Bare with me here:My setup for the past few years since we got our pool is this.Sonos Second Gen Connect Amp (the white/grey one, not the new black one).This powers two outdoor speakers. I had a google mini speaker outside, that I would talk to while in the pool to change songs, change artist, etc. This has all been working until I changed to the Nest Audio.Below is my thread I have created on the google forums just for reference. I was thinking of purchasing a Sonos Roam since it is portable and waterproof. I would use this to tell Sonos what to do while I am in the pool.My question is, can I get it to function similar to the google speaker, where it does not play music, it just plays on the amp and two speakers.For example, if I am in the pool and I tell the Roam to play an artist, it will start playing on the connect amp, and not the roam. Basically just want the Roam for Sonos voice control. Can it work like this?I am considering an Alexa device just for this, but all my stuff
It seems US has already got the SVC released and seen online that France will get SVC (French?) later this year, but what about the rest of the world? Would be nice to see some kind of timeline for us who don’t want to share what we say with google or amazon.I would be happy to be able to use the same version as for the US, as English is still the main language in my household and I wouldn’t want a local language version.
Hello Sonos, I was wondering if there would be multiple voice options in the future for the Sonos voice control?
Just got Sonos Voice Control on my Beam Gen 2.(I have 5 other speakers around my home) I purposely avoided all the other voice Sonos speakers because I didn’t like the idea of Amazon or Google listening in on me, not to mention their annoying voices. But Sonos knocked it outta the park with their new Sonos Voice Control. The professional actor chosen is perfect. It is quick as can be and best of all never interrupts the mood or feel of the music. His voice truly has the class and charm of Sonos. I like how it listens a bit longer so when you say “Hey Sonos turn it down” you can wait and see if you like the volume, if not, follow up with “More” and the volume will go down more. This is a nice touch without any chime or voice interrupting the music. You can follow when Sonos Voice Control is listening if you look at the brightness level on the light near the mic. Now I have a massive music library that lives on Dropbox and is meticulously organized in Apple Music(iTunes). I play my
