Google Home Mini may crash when playing audio at high volume

The Google Home Mini suffers from an issue where the software crashes when playing songs at high volume. Several users have reported being affected by the issue, and Google claims to be aware.

The issues have been reported on the Google support forum, among others. There, an employee of the internet giant says that it is aware of the problems with the Home Mini speaker and that a solution is being worked on. It is not yet known when it will be released.

The problem occurs when the smart speaker is set to a high volume to play songs. At low volume, the problems don’t seem to occur. After a crash, the Home Mini restarts itself and the speaker can be used again.

The Home Mini does not fail for all users and not in all cases. Some users believe that the problem occurs with certain songs, such as Royals from Lorde. However, that has not been confirmed by Google. On the support forum, a user suggests that the problem occurs with songs with a lot of bass, which causes higher power consumption when playing, which can then cause the reboot problem.
