Is it possible to turn down the Assistant volume on the Sonos One independently of the music volume?

I have my Sonos One fairly loud but don't need the Assistant to shout!

I'll make sure your voice is heard with the team. It's not the first request for a similar feature from the community. I don't have any details as to if it'll happen, but I'll make sure the team knows people are still asking.

I've also come here looking for some way to turn down Google assistants voice. Any updates?

Hello everyone.

Thank you so much for the feedback about this. We strive to improve Sonos in anyway possible, and we cannot do it without your help. However, I do not have any information to share at this time. Rest assured, we take your feedback to heart regarding the volume on Assistant, and will pass this information to the appropriate team.

Bought a Move, turned on Google Assistant, scared the bejesus out of myself, turned off Google Assistant. Useless feature, as it stands, without a separate volume control.

Please fix this soon... This way it is very uncomfortable and unusable. Especially in the evening. Would not recommend!

On my system GA's volume is controlled by the volume I play my Sonos device at. If my music is loud, so is GA. I am not very surprised about this.

I can however understand the need for Sonos to have a standard volume setting, not related to the volume the Sonos is playing at.

Whithin the GA environment volume can also be a problem. If I say “Hey, Google, good morning” GA's response is fairly loud. The anouncement for my travel time to work is at the same volume, while the aannooncement for the news broadcasts and the broadcasts themselves are noticably less loud.

I came here and signed up to the forum just to add my support to the request to have a separate volume setting for when Google Assistant (or Alexa) is talking to you. Right now it is deafening using the assistant if you forget to turn the volume down after listening to music and it is also a total pain having to work around the issue by turning up the volume every time I want to start listening to music and then turning it down again when I’ve finished. It significantly impacts the user experience for those of us who really do want to use the assistant capabilities (in my case Google Assistant) in addition to using it to play music. (I have a Sonos Move but am also considering getting a couple of Sonos Ones for a couple of fixed locations in my home.)

Thanks for adding your voice.

We'll make sure to add it to the request, but we don't have any news on if or when this might happen.

Yeah but that's for iOS and isn't a Sonos app fix
