Google Home Speaker Groups No Longer Work

Hello

Driving me nuts for a few days, I have just added 2 more Google home speakers,
in total I have
2 x Nest (paired),
1 x Nest mini,
2 x google home (paired),
1 x google home
around my house, all work individually, I have tried a few times to create a group for all 
tried these names for the group:
House Speakers
Everywhere
already turned power off all the speakers and routers for up to 10 mins, deleted the group a few times, made a new group a few times, still won't play all, is there a limit of about of speakers you can stream to?

When I try and play to all speakers, google says: ok playing music from spotify on house speakers, but nothing plays anywhere, 


any help would be appreciated, spending too many hours on this, 

Thanks

Similar or maybe the same issue on my end. My old speaker group has disappeared completely, requiring me to set up a new speaker group called "All Speakers". However, after adding all speakers to it, this group disappeared and it's like it never existed. Any new group I create seemingly immediately disappears from the group list within minutes. Groups just seem to be completely broken now.

I tried to remove the new speakers I added but still it won't work, but I found a work around. After I created the group, I used Spotify to cast to that group "All Speakers" so I know it works to stream to the whole house, just asking Google to play everywhere doesn't work, back to manually getting up walking over to the tablet and press a few buttons, ah well,

It's sad but you don't need to try any further. Deleting and re-creating groups or resetting the devices to factory settings does not solve the problem. I myself and dozens of other users here in the forum have tried this countless times. Please look around for relevant posts here in the forum. A firmware update is needed to fix the problem. Unfortunately, everything else is a waste of time.

I have looked for firmware updates, but the speakers are now on auto update, so you can't even force them to look for an update, maybe time to use Alexa speakers, Google has let me down 😞
