Alexa voice volume linked to Sonos volume? Need independent control

Annoying me too as she is very loud... when playing music i would prefer it to be fully muted when she is speaking so you can hear her better at a lower volume.

You really need to get this implemented as soon as possible. Have never used Alexa before so unsure if this this an Alexa issue or the sonos implementation, however the google assistant allows you to set the maximum volume and have a night time mode set on a schedule.

I initially had issues when I used the line out from Alexa to provide the input to the Sonos via the line in that the volume levels were all incorrect. However if you add your Alexa account into the Sonos unit then it works great. You can select your normal playlists and songs then speak to Alexa to make a change. Do not use the line out from Alexa, let the apps talk to each other for college trolling what is playing and use the volume control on your phone app instead of asking Alexa to turn it up or down. I have just had the latest update so that may have helped.

That should read ‘controlling’, not ‘college trolling’ (although I’m sure that’s fun).

100% agree. I tend to run my Sonos system quiet but in many rooms. I added my seventh speaker this week as a Sonos One and it’s the only Alexa-enabled one in my system. Because I run my music broad but quiet, I find the Alexa voice hard to understand, especially because the bass-tuning of my One makes the Alexa voice sound muddled. I’d love to be able to turn her up. Even further, it would be great to have some Alexa EQ settings that remove the bassiness of the speaker if needed when it speaks.

+1 We use two for surround and it's current implementation is useless so we've disabled this feature. Good thing we did't pay extra for this. On the good side, it's given us a chance to get acquainted with Google Assistant as we still needed a voice control in the room.

I'm jumping on this band wagon!

Sonos developers, please make the Voice Assistant volume independent from the Music volume.

The Alexa voice being way too loud is the worst thing about the One, and perhaps the only area in which it is significantly worse than an Echo. I will return mine if this is not fixed.:@

Wife said to me last night is there a way to turn Alexa volume down, music was playing at the time she asked Alexa to turn off the hall lights Alexa replies OK which was way to loud. Its hard enough to get my wife to use this tech little things like this will put her off forever. I hope this is able to be fixed.

Please pretty please can this be fixed. We need a way to have Alexa’s volume to be set independently.
