Google reply is too loud

On google branded and other google speakers, there is a volume control for googles response, separate from the volume of the device. Is that possible with Sonos 1, or is it just controlled by overall volume?

Hi everyone, thanks for reaching out and bringing this up to us.

We highly appreciate your feedback for this is essential to make Sonos a more intuitive system.

Controlling the voice assistant volume separately can be a very useful feature for sure, I can definitely see the obvious benefit out of it.

While we don't have any specific details that I can share around if this can come to Sonos, or when it might, I'll make sure that your voices are heard with the team and pass this along with the necessary department. It would always be best to let both sides know if there's a feature you're looking for.

Feel free to let us know of any other feature requests you may have, we’d be happy to send them up for you!

This is rubbish. I just bought a Beam and the inability to control the volume of the assistant completely ruins the feature. Fix this, it’s 2020 (almost 2021).

For some glimpse of control I made an IFTTT applet that sets the volume of my Sonos devices every night at 03:00 AM. This way my morning talk with Google won’t be of a suprising volume.

Oddly my issue seems the opposite. I can be listening to Tv, say “hey google” and barely hear the response. If I ask it to play music, it’s much lower than the tv volume was. I can increase the volume but it doesn’t seem to remember it, as the next interaction is also VERY low. This does make the feature useless...

Why on earth is this a year later this is still an issue??? I have my music playing at volume 4 but cannot hear my alexa alarm as the music still overpowers it and alexa volume is 1.. Makes the assistant useless when playing music, you have to pause the music to hear what its saying.

I have been using GA on Sonos One for over a year, without this issue. GA volume has always been on a “moderate” level, regardless of music volume - Until I upgraded to Sonos S2 a few days ago. Now I have a similar issue as the rest of you above. GA volume is in my case very low. I can turn volume up, but to hear what GA is saying, music volume is on a level that could almost shake down the house…

Is there a solution to this (i.e. separate GA volume control) in sight?

Wow Sonos, really? This still an issue and concerning a main selling point?? Shameful! I should return my Beam but I apparently didn't learn my lesson from the LAST 'screw you very much' Sonos pulled with obsoleting good gear recently. I don't know where your heads are but get in the game, guys. Sonos is going downhill faster it seems :/

Yes Please fix this issue! google assistant is useless together with sonos one at the moment.

Google assistant volume is to loud. Give us the opportunity to increase the level. And in my case I would like a solution to mute Googles answers at all and replace it with just a silent beep.

And another issue is that you can't set volume for the Google alarm as well.
