Pandora and Deezer already did it. No excuse for the rest of the streaming services.

Two ways to achieve the same thing:
A). "Hey Siri, turn off the bass".
B). Go to the home app, tap on your homepod card, and scroll down until you see a "reduce bass" toggle. Enable it.
Done.
And I´m sure this comment wasn't really necessary.
Other than the SERIOUS amount of bugs that need fixing, one simple feature we need is to have more control over voice volume. Or fix the auto-volume feature so she speaks at the right volume based on music and how loud you shout at her.
At present, she always speaks soooooo quietly I can't hear her. Turning her voice up only works until I change music volume again and she's back to being quiet.

Followed by... "somethings taking a little to long"
Followed by doing the thing you asked. Or only half of what you asked. Or none of it.
Homepods OG have become completely useless since last update. Really hopes this gets fixed. PLaying a song from ym iphone and then moving it to the homepod is a crime. Controls are often 15-30 seconds behind, so raising the volume in the music app, will see it raise actual volume 20 or so seconds later if the song is playing at all. Homepods mini working a bit better, but also lots of issues with siri comands as mentioned above.... Huh? what? hmmmm.....
Like with older iphones getting performance throttled with updates, i strongly believe the original large homepods are getting broken on purpose to act slow so the new ones coming out get bought... </conspiracy>

Or “Siri no longer has a brain aneurism while trying to determine whether or not she has turned on/off your devices.”
Exactly randomly she will just freak out and either take forever or just never do anything. And out of nowhere stuff will work again. And no other network devices ever have issues.
I don't understand why tapping a device in home goes into the settings instead of toggling on/off. Used to get into settings by holding. Is there some toggle somewhere. So annoying when she decides to freak out that i have to tap and slide now instead of just tapping
Try tapping the area around the icon of the item/device. It's not clear (or clearly defined), but that icon is a toggle.
Sorry as not anything to do with new release, but would anyone have any suggestions why in my own 'Home' I don't have admin rights, but my son and daughter who I invited to my 'Home' do???
We recently switched ISP, and in the process we got rid of the mediocre ISP provided modem and router and switched to a name brand mesh network. Since then, all the common issues that I too experienced regularly with siri on HomePod have vanished. It has been several weeks and all commands have gone through. I haven’t once experienced Siri timing out.
I still have (and love) my AirPort Express, to connect my home audio system to Airplay, etc. Only since this update, if I try to control it via the Home app, it only plays for a second or two before cutting out. I've completely reset the AirPort Express, removed the accessory and re-added it, and nothing works. It plays, but just for a moment. It's driving me crazy.
TLDR…
OG HomePods have the A8 chip first released in the iPhone 6 in 2014.
Do we know if OG HomePods will get ios16?
