@denniedegroot Thanks for make it work again. Is it oossible to make the speech volume only an option? Now google hub always adjusts the volume before speaking. I want to use the actual volume of hub. However the fix volume is also of use. Many thanks appreciate. EDIT: srry I just noted that if I leave it at zero than it goes actual hub volume. ---

Does anyone has same problem?: When having group of speakers in GH and I set the group to TTS then I still get only one speaker reacting. ![Screenshot_2020-12-09-11-12-54-459_com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/0/e08d42eea51cdae0af2757efa0a84d1e1e8430ce.jpeg) ![Screenshot_2020-12-09-11-13-14-270_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/7/f722997609a62d04d2f957ef630237fbee281447.jpeg) ---

I did not try it yet, will it work when you use multiple cards to activate them one by one? Also… You probably already know, but your volume is at 0%. ---

Yes, to set multiple cards is a workaround here and works fine. I just wanted to check the group if its general or my issue. You always want to keep as less cards as possible. See my previous post, the volume 0 means Homey will not push the new volume adjustment on the slider and google speaks with its current volume. So it is fine. ---

Ah great! Thanks for the 0% info. I ll check the multiple speakers once I’m home ---

> [@Daniel\_S](#): > > the volume 0 means Homey will not push the new volume adjustment on the slider and google speaks with its current volume. This is indeed a new function, great to have, solves the problem that we had in the previous version, where the slider was default on 0% and we had to change all flows with settings or we did not hear the speaker. ---

I have the feeling that it could be a Google problem. My groups have problems in the Google home app as well. ![SmartSelect_20201210-132539_Home](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/f/1f8f0f3f942b578f35fd53bbd7284eb56ec8d48d.jpeg) ---

Is it possible to change the Ducht TTS voice of an other Dutch TTS voice or change the picot and speed? This one is a bit slow and not nice to listen if you compare it to the mail voice of the Google nest Mini. ---

Not sure, but you can try to change the “spraak” settings in Homey settings. ---

I checked this but this is a app related thing. I hope the app will be updated with the new TTS engine for a better sound. ---

Would it possible to make a change to the app to support other voices? The Norwegian voice is very poor, and sounds like a robotic voice from the 80’s… ---

I just pusblished (in review atm) a solution for this: Google TTS to URL. This way you can trigger all device that accept a URL. ---
