Siri cuts out when reading back my texts and doesn't speak to ask if I want to 'send'.

I have a New iphone iOS 14.5.1 I can see from previous entries by members of this community that others have had the same problem as me. I use Siri when driving to send texts. This feature does not work properly on my new phone. I have turned Siri on and off and also tried various other options in Settings but to no avail. I have seen on a previous post that other people tried things which I have followed but I still have the problem. Any ideas?

Siri (and perhaps more specifically, iOS local voice playback functionality) is broken on two different iPhone 11 Pro with v14.5.1 (may have also been broken on the short-lived 14.5 version and just didn't notice). This bug can be noticed with Spoken Content, CarPlay, Siri dictation, etc.


It appears that Siri's function/actions are working correctly, as she successfully completes her various tasks, but it simply appears "broken" as she's unable to finish vocalizing her confirmation/action sentences on the iPhone. This can also be observed on other vocal Accessibility features where spoken dialog "cuts out" - iOS does appear to "silently" complete the spoken function.


Various iOS voodoo actions - to include deleting and re-downloading Siri (or other) voices, disabling/re-enabling Siri, and signing-out and back into Apple ID doesn't seem to improve this voice playback bug.


Siri was directed several times to ask Bixby for his help communicating - apparently, that doesn't work either! So aggravating, Siri's been turned off until the next version.
