Alexa vs Music Volume

Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1119

Hey, Teri here with your flash briefing for Saturday.

Saturday is the day that we answer questions from the community and we’ve got a great question from Peter Pizzati in the Facebook group, by the way, you can join our Facebook group at VoiceinCanada.ca/Community.

The question is pretty simple, and it’s a simple answer to, the question is, “Is there a way to separately turn down Alexa’s blaring voice when I’m listening to music, I have to keep adjusting the volume when I switch from her to the music”.

hopefully Amazon comes out with something that will allow you to differentiate what type of audio you’re controlling

And as usual, Pete Bready, thanks so much for your information, it’s a quick answer and unfortunately, Peter, you’re not gonna like it. The answer is no, unfortunately not, it’s one volume that controls both.

So that would be a great feature and hopefully Amazon comes out with something that will allow you to differentiate what type of audio you’re controlling when you change the volume but for now, unfortunately, the answer is no.

So I hope that is helpful, probably not the answer you’re looking for but that’s the answer right now and if anybody else is wondering, well, there you go. I’ll keep you posted if I hear anything different, alright?

Have a wonderful day and I’m going to talk to you again tomorrow, take care.
