Troubleshooting
Nest Audio is not responding to "Hey Google" commands.
Check if the microphone mute switch on the back of the device is toggled off. Ensure the device is powered on and connected to Wi-Fi. Try saying "Hey Google" more clearly or standing closer.
Poor sound quality or distortion.
Ensure the speaker is placed on a stable surface away from walls or corners if possible. Check your Wi-Fi connection speed, as poor connectivity can affect streaming quality. You can also try rebooting the device by unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in.
Cannot connect Nest Audio to Wi-Fi during setup.
Verify your Wi-Fi password is correct. Try restarting your Wi-Fi router and modem. Ensure your smartphone or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you're trying to connect the Nest Audio to. If using a dual-band router, try connecting to the 2.4GHz network first.
Music streaming frequently stops or buffers.
This is often a Wi-Fi issue. Check your internet speed and the signal strength to your Nest Audio. Move the speaker closer to your Wi-Fi router if possible, or consider using a Wi-Fi extender. Also, ensure your streaming service account is active and not experiencing issues.
Unable to pair two Nest Audio speakers for stereo sound.
Ensure both speakers are Google Nest Audio devices, powered on, and connected to the same Wi-Fi network in the same room. Use the Google Home app to initiate the stereo pairing process. Make sure both devices have the latest firmware updates.
