Something went wrong - music not playing

Robyn2
Community Member

All of a sudden my Google Home won’t play any music and instead states “something went wrong, please try again later”. 

I have my Apple Music linked - that doesn’t work.

I try to play music off of you tube - doesn’t work.

I have rebooted the device - doesn’t help.

I have unplugged the device and restarted - doesn’t help.

 

Any advice? Thank you!

its a bug that google doesn't seem to want to address/acknowledge. As a work around..  when you repeat the request to the mini  4 or 5 times it may start working.

Hey folks,

 

Thanks for bringing this up, and my apologies for the delayed response here.

 

I understand the feeling when your device is not working the way it should - let's dig deeper. A few questions: when did the issue start? How many Google Home/Nest devices do you have? How far are your devices from your router? What other features are affected?

 

Please try these steps below:

 

  1. Move your Google Home device within 15-20 ft. away from the router to get enough signal from your network.
  2. Reboot your Google Home device and router by disconnecting them from the power source and leave them unplugged for 1 minute. Once done, plug them back one at a time with intervals.
  3. If you have a dual-band router, try setting up your speaker or display on both the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands.

 

@realjax: Thanks for helping here.

 

Let me know how it goes.

 

Cheers,

Muddi
