Hello peppespizza,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
If we understand your post correctly, you want to know how to get the volume for Siri to be louder on your HomePod mini. We'd like to help1
The article you came from, Set up and use HomePod, was a good start but didn't provide the information you were looking for.
From playing music to controlling your home, your voice is Siri's command on HomePod. And, you don't need your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to be present to use Siri to play music, control your home, or to ask questions. Just say "Hey Siri," then make your request.
To learn some basic things you can ask, say "Hey Siri, what can you do?" Discover more things you can ask Siri."
This article will provide some more information about Siri and your HomePod: How to change Siri volume
Specifically, the section below.
You can ask Siri to speak louder, quieter, or at a specific volume. Say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
- "Speak louder."
- "Always speak quieter."
- "Set your volume to sixty percent."
HomePod automatically adjusts Siri's response volume based on the level of noise in the room, your distance from HomePod, and how loudly you're speaking to Siri. You can turn automatic volume on or off by saying, "Hey Siri, turn on automatic Siri volume," or "Hey Siri, turn off automatic Siri volume."
Let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care!
