NO VOICE PROMPTS

[ferrand24gmail.com]

Yet again I have no voice prompts.This seems to occur about 50 per cent of the time and I can still not get a solution to this.
I am using the current version of MRA, voice prompts are enabled, a voice is selected and volume is turned up. The phone is a Pixel 7a.
I have recently had this happen on two newly created routes, so yet again I have had to resort to Google!

You can also test the language output in the settings. This is recommended because each system has its own settings.

In the app: Account / Navigation settings / Audio

And you can easily test your audio by pressing the ️ button to the right of “Audio” on the screenshot of @Hubert-Thoring.

Thank you for the comments.I have uninstalled and re installed the app. I have created a new route, I checked the audio as suggested by pressing the the triangle top right and I got the voice I had chosen.
I have just returned from the route this morning No voice prompt, No audible speed camera warning! Between creating the route and checking the audio I have changed nothing. Why no Prompts????

I have never heard a complaint like this before. Are you using audio from your phone, or though a BT connection or anything? If the latter, I must assume it's in your BT connection. If you are using audio from your phones own speaker, try to turn off BT. You would not be the first that has a BT connection to something with without even knowing it.

Audio from the phone. I'm not quite sure what you mean by BT connection, if you mean internet then I do not have an internet connection when on the road but many times the voice prompts work without internet then for no apparent reason they fail. I have tried restarting the phone and I have tried restarting the app, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't!

BT = Bluetooth

Not using Bluetooth.

@ferrand24gmail.com, okay then we can that rule out. It is still interesting to try with BT turned off on your phone. I have seen someone claiming to use no BT, but his phone auto-connected to a muted BT device under certain circumstances . Of course you can check the BT icon on your phone, but many people don't look or lack eyesight

What could be interesting to test is in a case where you do not get any audible instructions, open the audio settings and press the ️ button like @CD130 suggests above. Do you or do you not hear the test instruction then, and check the slider for volume of course.

I'll try that.

Solved!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was indeed Bluetooth. Created a route,checked the audio at home all good. Got into the car, no voice prompts, turned bluetooth off, voila! voice prompts working.
Interestingly, I turned BT on again and the voice prompts continued to work until I paired the phone with the car and once again they stopped.
It's good to have discovered what the problem is because I found it very frustrating to have the voice prompts working, seemingly at random. The problem now is that with BT off I can no longer have hands free calls. Could there be a way around that?

It may be that your BT volume is set to zero. This volume is independent of the radio/Carsystem and must be adjusted separately.
Establish a connection and play an announcement on the phone via the audio settings, then turn up the volume on the radio/carsystem.

@ferrand24gmail.com, HAH! I love it when a plan comes together!
With your BT connected, enter you phone's volume settings and up the media volume. Likely that is currently set to zero.
