Unlike Alexa or Google Home you can link Sonos One with either one of these voice assistants as well as the Homekit automation. The design and sound quality are also superior when compared with other smart speakers. With the Sonos One, you have much more freedom and are not locked into a single automation ecosystem.
However, some customers complained about not being able to play music from their Google library. There can be multiple reasons why the music library is not playing on your Sonos speakers so let’s go through a few of them.
Why Won’t Sonos One Play My Google Music?
- No Google Music Subscription
The issue with playing Google music on Sonos One only occurred for users that didn’t have a paid subscription to Google Music. So, even if you own a lot of songs and have a huge library, you can experience similar issues with casting your music onto Sonos One speaker. An easy solution would be to subscribe to the Google Music service and that way you will be able to play Google Music on your Sonos one speakers.
So, either you can subscribe to Google Music or use another streaming platform to play music on your Sonos One. According to users, the issue fixed itself after they paid for the subscription but if you don’t want to then you can always listen to the library on some other Bluetooth speakers.
- Outdated Firmware
It is also possible that you’re unable to play Google music because of outdated firmware. So, if you are already subscribed to the Google music service and are still unable to play music then try updating the firmware on your Sonos One smart speaker and that should fix everything. You can update the firmware from the Sonos application by going into the settings. Navigate to system updates and start searching for updates.
If there are any updates available for your Sonos One, you will be able to install them directly through the application. However, if there are no updates available then you should try resetting your smart speakers and then cast music from your Google Music library. It should work without causing you further problems.
- Connection Issues
A bad network connection can also create similar issues for your Sonos one smart speakers. So, you should also try resetting your router and then connecting it with your speakers again. Make sure to also refresh the connection between your Google services and the Sonos One smart speakers. That should help you troubleshoot minor bugs with your Sonos one speakers and you should be able to get the music working again on your speakers.
However, if the streaming service is still not working for you then try asking Google Support regarding this matter. The majority of users with this issue had subscription issues and were able to fix it by paying for the Google Music subscription. But if you’re already subscribed then there might be some issue with your account and you should ask Google Support to fix it for you.
