No Siri audio over bluetooth

it WORKED i installed the 13 3 1 beta my phone works again i hear siri and replies

Mine is also fixed in 13.3.1 beta - thanks for the heads up!

Over the past few days I have been fortunate to have a senior engineer working on the issue collecting information including blue tooth logs, etc and trying a bunch of options to see if we can get this to work. We did not BUT ... We did find one way to get audible feedback over the car's bluetooth. It's not hands free BUT it proves that audible feedback over bluetooth DOES work.

1) Setting / Siri & Search / Press Side Button For Siri

2) Settings / Accessibility / Siri / Make sure "Type to Siri" is off.

3) With your phone connected to your car's bluetooth ... use the right button to activate Siri and say something like "New Message" and you should get audible feedback.

I am not suggesting to use this in place of hands free, but just as a way to prove to apple that audible feedback DOES work just not when you say "Hey Siri" and are truly hands free

Perhaps you should read before posting. Usually the smart thing to do. Just sayin'

In a nutshell for the lazy: Get the beta version. It resolves 80% of the problems. There is still some static, and there are a few bugs involving the lock screen. Spoon fed enough now? Kthxbye.

Updating to 13.2.2 - hopefully this fixes it.

Siri can mess with the volume level often setting it to silent. When waiting on the reply try turning the volume up with the volume buttons.

I spoke w/ apple support this morning, they said they are aware of the issue and their engineering team is working on it. She didn't say anything about the update 13.1.3 resolving it. I have that update, still have the problem.

Still doesn't work on my iPhone 11. It does work on my old iPhone 7 Plus that I updated to 13.2 and it works on my daughters new iPhone XR. I've been dealing with an top level technician and he's told me to wipe my phone and set it up as NEW to see if it works then. If it does, then I've lost everything on my phone, because I can't restore my backup. But if it doesn't fix it "after that then we would expect the resolution of the issue to come in the form of a future software update." Far from an acceptable solution in either case.

It’s easy to blame the others... but the only one to blame here is Apple. My old iPhone 7plus updated to ios 13 works and i can hear siri just fine, my new 11 pro max fails. Same car, same settings. This is really a big issue that needs to be fixed asap.

Hiya, yes , am making headway with Apple. Have had phone conversations we’re they’ve collected analytics on the phone and have uploaded video footage for them showing the problems in action. The more people that contact them about the issue, the faster the bug fix will be released. They’re definitely acknowledging it as a fault , so we’re getting somewhere

My phone came with 13.0 - I bought it early after release. Siri BT feedback worked; in fact everything worked perfectly - better than BT ever worked; It actually seemed that my phone was ignoring the car's crappy microphone, and was using its own mic when siri was activated (transcribed text messages were as accurate as without BT). Then things started to go downhill after some updates. At some point making calls was unbearable because of crackling, during the call (fixed in 13.3), but Siri audio feedback still worked with "hey siri". Then (for me) with 13.3, siri audio feedback stopped working. I have noticed (one of the posters mentions this) that if you hold down the side button to activate Siri, audio feedback works.

I've tried doing a master clear in my car's phone setup, so it completely resets all BT/phone settings from previous pairings.

This doesn't make a difference.

Your assumption about a2dp sounds quite plausible, and yes, I remember you could set these options, although I think it may be application specific? I remember you could set it both in google maps and waze.
