Siri not responding MacBook Air M1 Monterey After I updated my Mac to the new macOS Monterey Siri just stops working suddenly. It's not gonna hear to hey Siri and even manually clicking on it doesn't work. It starts working after a restart but shows the same issues again after some time. Also, I have noticed that whenever Siri stops working the shortcut button for Siri stops working, and also the escape key stops working. Is this a software update bug?

Siri not working as expected on MacBook Air M1 For maybe over a month now, Siri on my MacBook Air M1 is not working the way it should. It won't get activated when pressed manually on the keyboard, clicking on the Siri icon in the menu bar, or when called 'hey Siri'. This gets fixed when I restart my Mac, but the issue returns after a day. I could use some good inputs here.

Siri Audio Problem Catalina 10.15.4 MacBook Pro When I try to speak to Siri, I get the following response after a few seconds Siri Audio Problem: Sire was unable to hear you. Please check that your microphone is connected... Open Sound Preferences. I did that and the mic is connected and volumes are up. When I hit the sound icon in Menu Bar it shows the "internal Speakers" are checked. Suggestions? Thanks
