Troubleshooting
Nest Audio is not responding to voice commands.
Check if the microphone mute switch on the back of the device is toggled off (it will show orange). Ensure the device is powered on and connected to Wi-Fi. Try rebooting the speaker by unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in.
Music is cutting out or playing with poor quality.
Verify your Wi-Fi connection is strong and stable. Move the Nest Audio closer to your router if possible, or reduce Wi-Fi interference from other devices. Ensure no physical obstructions are blocking the speaker's output.
Cannot pair two Nest Audio speakers for stereo sound.
Ensure both speakers are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and are assigned to the same 'home' in the Google Home app. Place them relatively close to each other. If issues persist, try restarting both speakers and the Google Home app.
Smart home devices are not responding to Nest Audio commands.
Confirm that your smart home devices are properly linked to your Google Home account and are online. Check device names in the Google Home app to ensure your commands match. Try saying 'Hey Google, sync my devices'.
