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!

Unbelievable that this problem isn’t fixed. I prefer using an Echo Dot over my Sonos One to avoid being yelled at. Please fix this, Sonos!

Has this really not been fixed? Like many others I’ve had to stop using my Google assistant on the Sonos because it’s unbearably loud. I bought the Sonos on the basis that it had the assistant option. It’s embarrassing. Just sort it! Please

Plus one. It’s really annoying. I will not acquire any more Sonos gear if this is not fixed.

I created an account just to bump up this post. LOL

To our advocates at Sonos:

Please bump this up your developer backlog. With smart homes becoming more mainstream these days you’re going to be losing a ton of existing and potential clients. Perhaps someone needs to make a youtube video on the pitfalls of sonos with home automation integrations for the higher ups to pay attention to this.

My problem:

I don’t listen to music all that loudly and I have my google doorbell set to chime over google assistant connected speakers. Half the time, that means i don’t hear the doorbell at all.

Proposal:

As many have “chimed” in above, please have a separate volume setting dedicated to google home assistant notifications.

Google Assistant is too loud. I have TV and music at a reasonable volume but Google Assistant responses can be heard by my neighbours and are embarrassingly loud. This needs fixing, and can't be difficult to implement. Come on Sonos, unless I'm missing something, this is really disappointing.

Guys it is crazy that this is not getting fixed.. Please bump up this thread!

Honestly, i will trash my Sonos now if this is not getting fixed and i will not buy a Sonos product again.

GA / Alexa is a major use case for me and it really is useless like this! I bought a smart speaker that i can not use properly because i can not understand the asisstant or the alarms i have set? This makes absolutely no sense.
