I play my media softly in the background so when I use Siri later it is too soft. Likewise, when I set Siri volume to automatic it is also way too soft. I just want Siri to speak at 85% volume all the time. Is this possible?
It should be possible.
You can ask Siri to speak louder, quieter, or at a specific volume. Say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
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."

Unfortunately this isn’t currently possible. It used to be previously when we could set Siri’s volume separate from the media volume. But Apple removed that feature and replaced it with two options:
A. Either allow Siri’s volume to be set “automagically” based upon ambient noise, how loud you speak, etc (which doesn’t actually work as you’ve seen), or …
B. Siri’s volume is always the same as the media volume.
The problem when you have option A set is that when you give Siri any of the commands that the other poster recommended from the Apple Support article it only works that one time. Any subsequent commands to Siri and it will revert back to its “automagically” determined volume which is generally too low. So you either have to constantly wrestle with Siri by telling her to “Speak up” repeatedly … or you have to give up on playing music softly in the background if you ever want to actually hear her responses.
