Multiple paired nest speakers in home can not Play together

[TTTL]

I have a lot of nest speakers at home. 2 are paired in the bedroom and two are paired in the kitchen.

It is not possible for google to Play sets of paired speakers at the same time. If i in google home, Play on paired speakers in bedroom and try to at the same time Play the paired speakers in the kitchen, the speakers in bedroom shuts off. I don not have and issues playing 6 other speakers simulaneously as well as either the paired speakers in the bedroom or the kithchen, but not the kitchen and the bedroom at the same time. If i unpair the speakers in the bedroom or bedroom, i can Play all 10 speakers at the same time. So the issue is that i can not Play 2 sets of paired speakers at the same time. Is there a way to bypass this problem?

Hi @TTTL,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Nest community. I'm sorry to hear you have multiple Nest speaker devices that cannot play together. I'd be happy to provide some guidance.

I would like to ask you a few questions to help provide you with the correct information:

• What type of Nest speaker do you have?
• When did the issue start?
• Did you perform a factory reset on your Nest speakers?

Any additional details you can provide will be helpful.

Best regards,

Gabriela

All but one is mini, one audio.

The paired speakers are all mini, 2 paired in kitchen and 2 in bedroom.

I have bypassed the problem by separating the bedroom speakers and rather set them ut as a Group. But should i need to compromize to this?

This issue started more then 1,5 yrs ago when paired. I have just livedwith it, not being able to Play the bedroom speakers as a pair at the same time as kitchen pair is playing.

I have Factory reset all speakers so many times the last 3 years in order to Get rid of popping noices which once in a while appears, and yes recently when last time i tried to see If problem would go away, 2 months ago, this time i only reset the Two pair of speakers.

One thing that still annoying is when i Play music on one or more of the singel speakers and i want to add the paired kitchen speakers in the home app, then all other speakers shut off and i have to choose them once more in the app. It is like i have to first choose the paired speakers then add on the other speakers for them to Play together. Its like the paired speakers are dominating the system in the sence that they need to be chosen first or they cancel the other If not chosen first.

Hi @Thhl,

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate the time you took to respond to my post and the information you provided me about your Google speakers. I'm happy to continue assisting you.

I appreciate your effort in performing troubleshooting steps. I recommend pairing the speakers by creating groups. This way, you can create pre-set speaker groups you use often or use the mini-player to add, remove, or move speakers when playing media.

You can check this article to learn more about how to Create and manage speaker groups in the Google Home app.

Feel free to keep us posted if you have more questions.

Best regards,

Gabriela
