Whenever I play audio over a usb-c to mini jack adapter the popup randomly appears and stops all audio playback. Makes it impossible to use tapDancer.

I’ve tried disabling Google Assistant to no avail.

    What’s probably happening here is your adapter is signaling some button press when you connect it that’s popping up the Assistant. Only way to fix that is to get a new adapter since you can’t manually disable that input from triggering the Assistant without root.

    However, you can completely disable the Google Assistant from appearing at all via:

    Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Digital Assistant App > Default Digital Assistant App > None

    That should fully disable it in all regards and it’ll never pop up again.

      God bless, thank you for that. I’ve been wishing there was some way to disable that stupid assistant for years now.

      I think disabling the google app was the solution!

    You could have a faulty dongle or headphone cable that’s causing a short and the phone interpreting that as a button press

    Google voice assistant cannot be turned off. How else are they supposed to listen to your conversations and create personalized ads just for your convenience?
