Posted .Hi there Blair2024, thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your Nest Audio will sometimes have some connectivity issues.
To improve the Bluetooth connectivity for your Nest Audio, we recommend trying out some helpful steps below:
- Restart your Nest Audio. Unplug it and wait for 10 seconds, then plug it back in. Wait for the device to reboot, then try to ask the Assistant your question again.
- If you get these errors frequently, try to move your speaker or display closer to casting mobile phone or tablet.
- Try using another mobile phone or tablet device to see if you will encounter the same issue
- Perform a factory data reset on Nest Audio. Check on the back of your device, switch the mic off. The lights will turn orange. Press and hold the center of the Nest Audio, near the top. After 5 seconds, your device will begin the factory reset process. Continue to hold for about 10 seconds more, until a sound confirms that the device is resetting.
If the issue remains, please feel free to contact our support team so we can assist you with the issue. You may reach out to us via the Google Nest help page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hi Eric, thanks for posting your feedback about the Nest Audio, and we’re sorry to learn that it’s a disappointing experience for you.
We suggest trying these simple steps that may improve your experience:
- Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi or linked to the same account as your speakers.
- Cast music to the group that's playing out of sync
- Stand between the out-of-sync speakers (or as close to in between as you can) and adjust their volume levels so you hear them both playing at about the same level.
- Open the Google Home app.
- In Home, tap the device you want to correct the group playback delay.
- Tap Settings > Group delay correction.
- Move the slider to the left or right until the audio sound is in sync.
