Set a volume for tts.cloud_say?

Configuration

Is it possible to set a volume for tts.cloud_say?

I would first like to play an effect and then output a notification via tts.cloud_say in a defined language.
I have set a volume but surprisingly the effect is played back in the same way but not the notification via tts.cloud_say

I have not yet found a way to play tts.cloud_say in a defined volume.

action:
  - service: sonos.snapshot
    metadata: {}
    data:
      with_group: true
      entity_id: media_player.soundbar
  - service: media_player.volume_set
    metadata: {}
    data:
      volume_level: 0.14
    target:
      device_id: 034dd1cf36cdb33b99f10563c6661fa3
  - service: media_player.play_media
    metadata:
      title: effect-for-logo-intro-186595.mp3
      thumbnail: null
      media_class: music
      children_media_class: null
      navigateIds:
        - {}
        - media_content_type: app
          media_content_id: media-source://media_source

There’s a simpler way to do this using the announce option.

- id: al announce queue
  alias: al announce queue
  mode: queued
  max: 10  
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_text.al_announce_queue
  action:
    - condition: "{{trigger.to_state.state != 'announced' }}"
    - service: media_player.play_media
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.kitchen
        media_content_id: >
           media-source://tts/google_translate?message="{{ trigger.to_state.state }}"
        media_content_type: music
        announce: true
        extra:
          volume: 40

Does this still working for you? I got error:
BaseMediaPlayer.play_media() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘volume’
and I can’t find the volume parameter in the docs:
Media player - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io)

Can you please share your code that is causing the error?
