Microphone issues

Over the last couple of months I've been having nothing but issues with my Nest hub not recognizing my commands clearly. First it has a tough time recognizing the activation command, "Hey Google" or "Ok Google", but then it can't clearly hear what I'm asking it, even as simple as what time it is. 

I've increased sensitivity to it's highest level as well but still no luck. Any suggestions?

Hello @arshad14

 

Thank you for reaching out. Oh no! That is definitely an odd issue that your Google Nest Hub is not responding to your commands. Let's try to troubleshoot this issue and find a solution.

  • Is your device responding to some commands? Is the microphone working?
  • Could you try to reboot and Factory Data Reset your Google Nest Hub? Are there any improvements? 
    • A factory reset will reset your Google Nest or Home speaker or display to its default factory settings. 
    • Note: This action will clear your data from the device and can't be undone.

I look forward to your response, thanks for your patience!

Hi, I've tried a factory reset. It responds sometimes but not always.

The microphone seems to work sometimes. I also checked to make sure it's not positioned in a way that the microphone is not blocked either.

It automatically reboots in the middle of the night it seems so that should take care of the reboot.
