Soundbar 700 cannot setup Google Assistant

[SyXbiT]

I've tried everything. Rebooting phone/soundbar, factory reset of soundbar, uninstall/reinstall Bose Music app on my phone.

Nothing works. Any ideas?

I'm in the U.S. using a regular router with no proxy.

Hello SyXbiT, 

Thanks for getting back to me. 

Can I please ask which phone you have, what software version it is running and how long you have had the phone? 

Also, do you have any iPads or tablets you could try this on for me, please? 

Kind Regards,

I have a Pixel 3a with Android 9.0 (Pie). It is just a couple of months old.

I have also tried with my tablet (Android 7.0).

I have also tried using a different Wi-Fi connection on both phone and soundbar. Nothing helps.

Hello SyXbiT, 

Thanks for getting back to me. 

 As you have tried all troubleshooting steps, the best option here would be to reach out to your local customer support center as they have the ability to look into the settings of our computer and make sure there is nothing blocking your router from accessing this page.

You can do this by clicking this link here: https://bose.life/2f4nJid, selecting your region, scrolling to the bottom of the page, and selecting contact us.

I would love to hear what resolves this issue once you have spoken with the team. 

Kind Regards,

I am having exactly the same problem with mine. I have not had an issue setting up any other devices on my network with Google Assistant, my network is running fine, just seems to be a problem with this product!

Same issue with an iphone. Impossible to set-up google assistant starting from the bose app or the Google assistant app. It is possible starting from the Google assistant app to discover and add the 700 soundbar, however it's impossible to activate it.

I have a Google pixel 4xl. Of all of the phones I seriously would have thought a Google phone would be able to connect to this devices Google assistant! Can you please help, Bose?

Hi all,

Same issue, google assstant app and google home can register the Soundbar 700, however not able register as the voice assistant in the bose music app. Bose music app also takes you to the app store even if google assistant is installed, so need to manually navigate to the app. Perhaps it looses the linking in the process.

iphone XsMax

latest software ios and apps

strong wifi and broadband connection

in Australia.

Thanks.
