Speech to text not working while connected to blue tooth in my Tesla Speech to text works fine on my iPhone when I am not connected to my Tesla (using my phone as a key to the car). However, once I connect to the car after pressing the speech to text button in the messaging app (or any other app) it appears that the microphone is not receiving any input when I speak. Additionally, dictating texts via the car into the phone seems to work. i have tried the following with no luck: turned Bluetooth on and off on my phone restarted my phone unpaired my phone from the car and reset the phone as the car key Just updated to ios16 have the latest version of s/w on my tesla Can someone help?

CarPlay microphone not working properly on iOS16 on iPhone 14 ProMax I have two iPhone 14 Pro Maxes that I got last week that are running iOS 16. Since upgrading my phones, when I connect to either of my cars (both Subarus) via Apple cable to CarPlay and make a call, the caller can barely hear me. Prior to upgrade, I had an iPhone 11 Pro Max and an iPhone 12 Pro Max using CarPlay in these same vehicles using the same cables and people could hear me clear as ever. Actually, I was always very impressed at how clearly the microphone picked up and filtered out background noise. So is this problem iOS 16? Or is it the iPhone 14 Pro Maxes? I’ve not tested to see if it’s using the phone’s microphone or not. I just know that I sound like I’m VERY far away from the mic and very quiet. If I’m on a call and unplug from CarPlay or just tap my speakerphone button, they can hear me perfectly fine. So I don’t think it’s using my phone’s microphone… or if it is, it’s using it in regular phone mode, not speakerphone mode. I make many calls from the car, so this is not good! I also had Subaru update my head unit (factory) to the latest version just to ensure it wasn’t something with my car. But it’s happening with two phones, two cars, so I think we can say it’s definitely the phones/iOS.

iPhone speaker volume low on calls I can barely hear the phone conversation and I cannot increase the volume as I use to...Is this due to the latest software upgrade as I do not like having to use the speaker option every time. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Hello Rod965,

Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand the microphone for a set of, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 earbuds is not working, when paired to an iPhone SE.

Having a reliable microphone to communicate with friends and family is important, and I'll be happy to help.

To help troubleshoot this issue, I recommend to follow the section in this article that says, "If your microphone doesn't work": If your headphones don't work with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

In addition, you can download the Smart Control app by Sennheiser to see if there's a possible firmware update available: MOMENTUM True Wireless 2

Best regards.
