Fully mute speaker after wake word

[median tinsel]

Any way to fully mute speakers after wake word detection? My mic is close to speaker, and i cant move it further away

what device are you talking about?

[median tinsel]

Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition

the speaker is connected to the mono output of the device

are you having an issue with it detecting itself? the XMOS chip should filter out stuff being output.

i have some music assistant automations that are sensetive to correct word interpretation, music search (music name), add to playlist (playlist name), ...

if am close to the mic, the chips filter the speaker without problems. but if i move further away the speaker overpowers my voice, even with the automatic volume decrease. and as consequence the words are misinterpreted

and the same commands work fine at the same distance when music is not playing?

you could take control of the devices firmware (this has some disadvantages. e.g. OTA updates wont work as normal)
then you could overwrite the ducking reduction value

if you add

voice_assistant:
  id: va
  on_start:
    - mixer_speaker.apply_ducking:
        id: media_mixing_input
        decibel_reduction: 20  # Number of dB quieter; higher implies more quiet, 0 implies full volume
        duration: 0.0s         # The duration of the transition (default is no transition)

this will overwrite that section from the package it pulls the stock yaml from.

then you can adjust the decibel reduction supported values are int between 0 and 50
