Controlling the Google Assistant audio (not speaker)

Hello,

I've actived the Google Assistant on my Sonos one which is working great so far. However the audio que and the answers Google gives are way louders than the current volume (5%) should allow for. It's next to my bed and esp. at night this is quite annoying. Is there any way to control this? Also maybe it's an idea to introduce the feature that Google Home speakers have for some time now, the ability to set a max volume at night hours.

    I'm running into this issue as well.  I'm considering setting up my old google home speakers purely to be the mics for the sonos speakers (which sort of defeats the purpose of the integration)

    I’ve thought of this too, as this would fix the issue of the Assistant not responding. The thing is, there’s no audio ducking, meaning the volume on the Sonos speaker doesn’t duck when you’re speaking to the separate Google Home device, which results in you having to either turn the volume down manually each time you want to speak or shout at the speaker.

     

    And then there still isn’t the option for shuffling music, proper radio support, a separate alarm volume, the list goes on.
