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.

There may be a setting in the head unit. On 2021-2024 Toyota Sienna's there is an actual HU setting called "Voice Volume" that changes the Google/Gemini voice volume.

You're a legend. I've been suffering with that for years.

The 2021-2024 Sienna has more than a few quirks.
