Hi,
Great. Glad it worked for you. Yeah, I’ve got two full-sized HomePods and two
Minis, and do not use VO on any of them.

Hey Tim,
Great suggestion. I turned off VO, and it’s much better. You’re right, most
of the time when I’m interacting with a HomePod I’m using Siri, so not having
VO hardly matters.
Cheers,
Donna

Interesting. I see your point. Maybe I’ll try turning Voiceover off, and see
how that goes.

Hi,
I normally don’t bother with VoiceOver on the HomePods. I can do everything
I’ve ever needed to do with either Siri or using the Home app on
iPhone/iPad/Mac. Yes, the Siri voice is often a little louder than the music
in order that it can be heard over the music.

Try these gestures or use your iPhone to control the speaker.

Some times that works, and some times it doesn’t. And it never sticks.

The HomePod Mini has a touch display and here is a link describing the commands
you can use.

Thanks, Tim. That fits with what I’ve experienced. The problem is that the
volume of the VO voice is way disproportionately louder than the volume of the
music.

Hi,
With the HomePod and HomePod minis, the volume of the Siri voice is controlled
by the main volume of the HomePods. So, if you set the volume to 40%, then the
Siri voice will be a certain level. If you increase the volume to 80%, then
the Siri voice will be louder. I don’t believe that
I think I’ll try an nudge things in that direction by sending feedback to
Apple.
Cheers.,
Donna

This issue with the home pod mini reminds me of one with the very old iPod
nano. The firmware was never updated nor was very robust. The VO voice is
always much louder than the audio being played. And never a way to adjust one
independent of the other.
Hopefully Apple will not let this same
Hi all,
Does anyone know if there’s a way to increase or decrease the volume of the VO
voice on a HomePod mini?
TIA,
Donna
