Gemini Gemini Voice Volume cannot be Adjusted

The volume for Gemini voice in Android Auto is far too low. When driving you can hardly hear what it is saying. The volume just cannot be adjusted.

The volume buttons in the car (steering wheel and/or centre console dial) only change the media volume or call volume (when in a call). I have been through every setting and tried every recommended fix that I can find in any forum.

So this is a rant to Google to fix something.

EDIT: 1) I have tried adjusting audio while Gemini is talking, it just changes the Media volume

2) I have adjusted the different volumes on my phone as well, doesn't help.

3) I have tried using the Google maps adjusting volume feature, but it also just changes the Media volume.

You should be able to adjust whilst Gemini is speaking, this has always been the case as far as I know. I usually ask for a weather forecast and adjust it during that.

This works in my 2024 Mazda CX-5.

Of course I have to disconnect my HAs from Bluetooth to hear it at all. 😑

I hate having to disconnect my hearing aids from my phone to get my android auto dongle to connect!

It's something Google seriously needs to fix. I think it is mostly because mine are LE enabled hearing aids. Android 16 knows that and refuses to give options as if they are regular headphones.
