Hi, I’ve recently bought a Sonos One, and I have been using the Google Assistant to set my alarm for the morning as part of a routine command. It sets the alarm, but it is waaay to quiet for the alarm to actually work and wake me up. Is there a way to set the alarm volume (from the google home) independtly, or at least make it louder?

    Hi Nick, I understand that you can setup a routine with Google Home, but the volume control you are asking about is not a supported feature with Google Home and Sonos. I would be happy to add your voice to our other customers who have been requesting this feature and forward this on to our engineers.

    Been over two years since the original post and there still hasn't been an update to address this issue? I just bought a Sonos One with the intention of using it instead of my Google Nest Mini as the smart speaker in my room but if there still no update on this then I’m returning the Sonos One as there is no point in having it.

    yea I was looking into this and sadly seems like there’s no updates, only possible on an actual google device. The alarm sound is wayyy too quiet on sonos. At least the google assistant timer sound is louder.

     

    I liked using the sonos voice control but it’s features are limited, not able to set multiple timers for when you’re cooking, etc. So we switched to google assistant. But I guess w/ sonos voice control settings, you can adjust the alarm volume.

     

    Would love an update on this =)

    This volume issue seems to be occurring with all Assistants on all Sonos products. May I suggest Sonos dev team implement a separate assistant volume controller in the app?

    thank you

    Same issue. Just missed an appointment. Sonos does other things so well, why can't this be fixed? Looking at the timeline, it doesn't seem as if this is a priority. Yes, I can do it in the Sonos app but why not be able to do it on the fly without having to open the app? Sending an alarm through the Google assistant is much more convenient!
