There are several ways to control the volume of the Google Assistant, your media, timers, and alarms on Google Nest or Home devices. With the feature disabled, when you speak to Google Home, the volume of Chromecast devices will remain the same like it always has. Another major issue with the Nest/Home devices is with music playback. At least some of these fixes apply to the said issue too. To Adjust or Turn OFF this option, follow these steps on the Home app.
Fortunately, you can disable the feature. When casting content on a Chromecast built-in speaker or TV, or Android TV running Chromecast firmware version older than 1.25. Here’s how tocheck your firmware version. If you started casting content on a TV or speaker using a mobile phone and not your voice. If you’re casting music on agroup of Cast devices.

Method 1: use touch panel to change Google Home volume
Night mode is yet another feature, which once enabled will water down most of the features of the Nest/Home. But even while using the Nest/Home as a wireless speaker, you may get hit with the weird volume change issue. If the feature is enabled, then someone might be changing the volume on their phone either accidentally or purposely to annoy you.
Upon enabling this feature, the device reduces the volume, becomes less sensitive to commands, and also limits the notifications. Another cool trick that you can try within the Routines menu is to add an Action to set the volume to your desired level. But there is an option within the Routine configuration menu that automatically adjusts the volume according to your liking.
Google Home now lowers the volume of casting audio when using Google Assistant
You can swipe clockwise on the touch panel to increase Google Home volume as shown below. Now your alarms should be louder , regardless of the master volume on your Google Home. If you have any active alarms, you’ll see them at the top. Adjust the slider up or down to your desired volume.
This happened to me recently when I was listening to music at the end of a long day. The volume started raising by one click and shortly after, returned to the original volume. It behaved well for the next 30 minutes and then went up and down all on its own, without any input. That’s because there are many other reasons for the volume issue on Google Home.
Control volume of speakers and displays
Set volume level to 0 with any of the 3 methods of adjusting Google Home volumes mentioned above. Please note although Google Home is muted, the playing is NOT paused. The new feature is calledLower volume when listening, and it does exactly what you'd expect. After you say the wake word, the volume of the Cast devices will be lowered while Google Home listens to your command. Once you're finished with your command, the volume goes back to normal. But usually, if you say it loud enough, you can get the speaker to hear the short wake phrase.
At times, the paired Bluetooth device could also be responsible for unpredictable volume changes in Google Home. Meaning, if you use Google Home as a Bluetooth speaker for your laptop and you change the volume to 90 on your computer. Then, when you disconnect the Bluetooth connection, Google Home will have the same volume . So, if you are using it as Bluetooth speaker, this might be one of the reasons for the volume issues.

The first-generation Nest/Home Mini devices do have a dedicated Reset button. Press and hold this button for a few seconds until the device turns OFF and back ON again. On a Nest/Home Hub device, press and hold the Volume Up and Down buttons together for a few seconds or until the device turns OFF and back ON again. Now, you can reset the Nest/Home in a couple of ways, the easiest being through the dedicated buttons on the device itself.

As we jolt up from our nearly asleep stage. This will decrease Google Home volume to a lower level (which is about 10% quieter). This will increase Google Home volume to the next level (which is about 10% louder).
Under this feature, you can adjust the volume to your liking. This volume adjustment provision is exclusive to the alarms and timers, meaning it doesn't change the normal volume levels of the Nest/Home. Google devices such as Google Home and Chromecast can be controlled by other people on the same Wi-Fi network. They will see a notification on their phone that a device is casting with the ability to change the volume or play/pause the casting. Since Google smart speakers such as the bigger Google Home and the small Home Mini offer touch controls to change the volume, try cleaning your device.
So if your Cast volume is too high to begin with, the new feature still may not help. This will occasionally happen to me, say "stop casting". Same issue here on my Home Max speaker. Used to listen around 20% most of the time, now have to bump it up louder and just doesn't sound right to me. Happens with Spotify as well as YouTube Music. With the recent developments in the Google Workshop (spoiler-legal issues), the Nest/Home devices have been noted to be erroneous to a concerning extent.
You can use voice command of “Hey Google, what’s the volume? Same as the previous one(with additional optional word “level”). If you paired two Google Home speakers and are using the speaker pair, the volume settings will be applied to both speakers automatically. Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network or linked to the same accountas your speaker or display.
You can find such applications either through a browser or by downloading a dedicated app from your respective app store. If you experience automatic volume changes while using the Nest/Home as a Bluetooth speaker, refresh the connection as a possible remedy. Follow these steps on the Home app to reboot the device. A power cycle test is also one of the recommended troubleshooting steps by Google once your device starts acting up.
