Ding-dong instead of voice direction in Apple Maps

When driving with Apple Maps, sometimes the voice directions are suddenly replaced by « ding-dongs ». This is extrememy annoying and even dangerous. All the voice and volume settings are correct. I haven’t found a way to get voice back (starting again the navigation or killing Maps app does not help... it will remain like that until at some point voice comes back on a next navigation...).

Even resealed ting the voice valine refuses to work. It will give ONE to show I selected it and then goes directly back to beep boops. I e nearly crashed several times since the most recent firmware update which is when this started happening.
