I don’t want my Google Home to answer on Bluetooth speaker; only plays music

[rapha_prado]

I used to connect my JBL Flip 4 to my Google Nest as a Bluetooth speaker and it worked only as a music player. Whenever I said “Ok Google”, the answers always came on Google Nest device, not on JBL - this one kept the music playing. After an update, though, whenever JBL is connected, answers to “OK Google” plays on JBL, stopping the music. I don’t know how to fix it to the way it used to be. Can anyone help me, pls?

I got tired of dealing with that. The easiest way was to use Siri and Google simultaneously, but now Siri stopped reading results.

I thought there was an option to target devices with certain actions in the Assistant app settings, but I can't find it.

I wish there was a way to stop the google assistant from parroting what I've just asked it. I absolutely loathe hearing my device speak, and there appears to be no way of getting it to stop

HI folks,

@rapha_prado, @thisisausername, @seb_pinter, This is not the experience we want you to have, let me help you. A few questions: which Nest speakers are we working with? When did your issue begin? Were there any recent changes made?

It would help a lot if you could do a sequential reboot first: 

1. Unplug the power cord of your router, followed by your Nest speakers.
2. Plug them back in after 3 minutes.
3. Restarting your phone might also help.

You can also choose which device is the default. Here’s how:

1. Ensure your mobile device or tablet is linked to the same account as your Chromecast or speaker.
2. Open the Google Home app.
3. Touch and hold your device's tile.
4. At the top right, tap Settings > Audio, then:
   • To choose the TV or speaker you want to use when you play music, tap Default music speaker.

Keep me posted

Best,

Dan

Ahn, actually none of the answers were helpful 🤷🏻‍♂️. I’ve tried what @Dan_A suggested plenty of times and nothing has changed.

My device is a Google Nest Hub, @Dan_A and I’ve noticed this issue after an update (current firmware is 9.20221010.3.176)

Hi rapha_prado,

Got it, Try to re-pair your Bluetooth speaker and observe if it will make a difference.

There's no answers. The functionality doesn't exist. Also, it's alarming how many times I say "hey Google, play some music" and she relies with "ok, playing Lewis Capaldi". That's not music.

Hi seb_pinter,

Let’s revert your Nest Hub to its default and original settings by doing a factory reset. Follow the steps below:

1. On the back of Nest Hub, press and hold both volume buttons together for about 10 seconds.
2. Your Nest Hub will let you know that it's resetting.
    

Once done, redo the setup.
 

Kind regards,

Dan
