Hi all, I’ve never seen anything like this. I was trying to re-pair my VarioUltra. As usual, I had difficulty pairing the display. I finally thought I had it paired, but it turned out I didn’t. When I tried to go back into Settings, everything was gone e. VO just takes me to the status bar

Hello: I have we have a PayPal debit card and I use that all the time to transfer money into Apple Pay. As long as the money is in Apple Pay you should be able to do that you just have to set up your card to for Apple and then make sure that card is selected when you transfer money. It’s not easy

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 > On Aug 6, 2021, at 11:52 AM, 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > Hi, > > I

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. Later… Tim Kilburn

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. Cheers, Donna > On Aug 6, 2021, at 10:33 AM, 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > Hi, > > With the HomePod and HomePod

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

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
