Hi Macky, We’re sorry to hear that your experience with the sound quality of your Google Nest Audio has been less than ideal. Here are a few tips on how to enhance the bass response of your Google Nest Audio and improve your listening experience:

- Position your Google Nest Audio on a firm flat surface, avoid any soft or absorbent materials like carpets or rugs. Aim for a central location in a room, away from walls or corners, to allow sound waves to disperse evenly.
- Adjust the equalizer settings within the Google Home app to enhance bass reproduction. Increase the bass slider to your preferred level, ensuring it doesn’t overwhelm the overall sound profile.
- Keep your Google Nest Audio software up to date.
- Factory Reset: If bass issues persist, consider performing a factory reset on your Google Nest Audio. This can sometimes resolve software glitches or inconsistencies that may be affecting bass performance.

Hi there, thanks for the feedback that you shared with us about the Nest Audio. We’re sorry to learn of your issue with the crackling popping sound when playing music.

If you’re willing to try, we suggest these simple steps to isolate the popping noise issue:
- On the side of the Nest Mini, toggle the mic switch off.
- Your Nest Mini will tell you when the microphone is on or off.

If the popping sound stops, then you can turn the Ultrasound sensing off. This setting is on by default, but you have the ability to turn it off (and then back on as you like) at any time in the Google Home app. Occasionally, other things in your home environment may cause ultrasonic noise and may disrupt Ultrasound sensing for a brief period. This should discontinue as soon as the ultrasonic noise stops. When Ultrasound sensing is turned on, your Nest Mini will detect that you’re nearby if your palm is 2 to 6 inches above your device during media playback. To turn Ultrasound sensing on or off, follow these steps:
- Open the Google Home app .
- Tap your Google Nest Mini.
- At the top right corner, tap Settings > Recognition & sharing.
- Turn Ultrasound sensing off.

We care about your experience, and we understand your decision to return it. But if you’d like to give us an opportunity to investigate your issue, please reach out to our dedicated team anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
