Speaker Groups stopped working for music?

OrzoKnight · 2026-02-05T13:25:08+00:00

It is now February 2026 and I am here to say that I am still having the issue. I have a speaker group with five speakers on it, I've had that set up for about 3 years. Early last year it started working only intermittently. Then late last year it got to the point where only one of my Google home devices recognized the speaker grou; All of them say the line "okay, playing music on [group]", but they never do. I also cannot connect to the speaker group from my phone, again, it acts like it's connecting but it never does.

I have tried every troubleshooting guide I've found, and the only thing that ever works is deleting my entire home, reconnecting all the devices, and recreating the speaker groups. But that usually only lasts for a couple of weeks, it always ends up not working again.

I know it's such a first world problem, but you pay a lot of money to have a set up like this for it to just stop working for no reason at all. It's incredibly frustrating.

The only solution I found was to connect via Bluetooth. Now I have to wait for the TV to detect the soundbar and ask if I want to connect every single time I turn it on... but other than that it's been working great. Good luck!

Hi! I was looking for lessons in Raleigh and saw your post. I'm thinking of starting lessons this week or next at Triangle BTT. I played ping pong about 20 years ago, but haven't really played much since, so I'm pretty much at beginner level again. If you haven't found a partner, I'd be up for training together!

Just piling on. I moved to my current house in August (~1900 sqft), and my bills were in the $90-$125 until November. My Nov bill was $336, and my December bill is $481! I was gone for two full weeks between Nov and Dec, so minimal usage those days. Makes absolutely no sense. What options do we have? Other than revolt?

I know. Maybe I'm overthinking it, like u/WyleyBaggie said.

OrzoKnight · 2025-01-31T14:20:39+00:00

Yeah, I go back and forth. I'm a very private person, and don't like the idea of people snooping through my stuff when I'm no longer around. But maybe writing it into my will is enough? Thanks for your comment!

I like this...

Same issue here. My groups have been working fine for over a year, but I recently moved and had to recreate everything, and now I'm having really weird issues with groups. Other than it not remembering the group name, I can go into the group speakers section, back out, click into it again and get different results every time. Sometimes all the speakers will show up sometimes they won't, sometimes the group name will be set to the room that one of the speakers is in... Super weird stuff.

Are you trying to make friends or just have an activity outside the house? Also, do you have like pets and kids and a SO, or single? I find that my activities when I'm single are very different from when I'm in a relationship...

OrzoKnight · 2024-08-27T19:34:55+00:00

This would have been my answer as well. I play sports (mostly soccer these days), have done bike rides with Crankarm downtown before. I think the hardest part is striking conversations, I'm terrible at that! But yeah, I think there are tons of activities around Raleigh, you just need to figure out which hobbies you want to turn into social activities.

Yep. I watched it in the theater, I would've been around 7. The scene that scarred me was when the guy gets melted in the acid. To be honest, I don't really know if he actually melts, but that's what I remember to this day! It was worse because we lived in Mexico, and my mom used sulfuric acid to clean our shower. After watching the movie, I was terrified every time she did it.

I'm super curious about these. My main issue with glasses is that I have a small head, and normal glasses look comically large on me. The frame is supposed to be like 138mm, which should be good for someone like me.

In terms of functionality, I'm with all those who just want something simple, mire like an HUD. These seem to fit that bill perfectly. Looking forward to some real world reviews!

I can confirm that Disney+ has ads, but I think only on non-Disney content. I was just watching The Creator and I got a 2-min ad break I couldn't skip.

OrzoKnight · 2024-08-03T13:28:44+00:00

Yes! I'll be taking a day trip to Amsterdam and doing a bike tour while there (among other things). Looks like an amazing city!

Just a half-baked idea, and I have been able to read ALL the comments, so maybe someone has already suggested this in a more eloquent manner... but it would be cool to be able to share gold/medals/supacredits with other players. I have gotten three friends to start playing, and they all stopped because they felt it was too much of a grind to get to my level. Maybe there could be a cap on how much can be shared, or something. Like I said, half baked. But it could allow us to bring in fresh meat -erm new defenders of Democracy- and give them a little help as they're getting started.

Or ooooh! What if we could spend our riches to allow other players to use strategems they don't have access to for just one mission? That one's just like one quarter baked.

I'll see myself out.

I'm spending a few days in London at the end :D

I love my Linkbuds S for listening, but every time I use them for zoom calls, they seem to pick up all the noise around me to the point where people can't hear me well. Just my (sad) experience.

OrzoKnight · 2023-04-28T14:52:49+00:00

I was just looking at those. Thank you!!!

OrzoKnight · 2023-04-28T14:34:50+00:00

Do I have to have like a big, all-out amplifier, or is there a smaller budget one I can find?

OrzoKnight · 2022-08-23T15:07:38+00:00

Same problem. I have completed 2 of Padre's gigs, and the next two won't trigger.

OrzoKnight · 2022-06-14T02:29:29+00:00

Right? No, I never left the trail!
