Alexa voice volume linked to Sonos volume? Need independent control

It seems the volume of the Alexa voice is linked directly to the volume of the Sonos One unit. That means if I'm playing quiet music in the background, and I activate Alexa, I can't really hear her voice at all.

That also means if I am playing loud music, after the "ducking" to mute the music the voice is really loud.

The volume should be independent or perhaps some proportional volume of the music.

Yes, please allow voice volume settings separate from music volume settings!

I vote for this feature as well. It would be very nice to have the Alexa volume set separately so it is always the same volume no matter how loud or quiet my music is.

This is a very important feature. I have a couple Sonos Ones paired with my Playbar. For whatever reason, the volume they are set at so the TV is loud enough makes Alexa REALLY loud. Not ideal.

It would be very helpful. Can you also turn have a quick setting to turn her voice answers off as I have my sonos ones set up with a 5.1 system and while I am watching tv would like to give commands but not hear her. Also can you have an easy way to turn her on and off if necessary .

Glad to find that this bugs other users, I'm surprised separate voice (and annoying bong) volume control wasn't part of the original setup. The last thing you want is a shouty Alexa...

This is one of my 2 annoyances with the Sonos One right now. Hopefully it will get fixed quickly. I guess this is what I get for being an early adopter.
