I have updates to iOS 15, and now have no sound (voice directions) when using the app. Checked all the obvious causes, but still nothing.
Was working perfectly up to iOS 14.8
Justin 444, After spending over an hour on the phone with an Apple senior advisor, gathering data to send to engineering I tried this and it worked. In my case I have a Honda Accord with HandsFreelink. Following your tip I opened Maps then opened the control center on my iPhone. I found that in the control center AirPlay was defaulted to HandsFreelink and I had the option to select iPhone. Once I did that Maps worked perfectly with the audio now coming thru my iPhone as it did in IOS 14.8.
I don't understand why Apple removed the audio option in maps in IOS 14. The new update is a setback not an improvement. They have confused the advisors at tech support to the point that they can't help. They pretty much say to submit a feedback report and hope it will be addressed in a future update.
I don't know how you figured this out but all I can say is thanks.
Bob, glad you were able to get this sorted out. I agree, the update was definitely a setback.
Happy Holidays,

Don’t try reset, as I did and it did not fix the problem!
I’m also missing the voice volume button. I can’t hear the voice giving directions so I’m forced to look at my phone for directions instead. It’s annoying
Same this is so crazy and dangerous!
Me too!
hi - I think I have the same issue you had - I've done all the suggestions. nothing. would you be so kind as to tell me how you reset settings?
Thanks for prompt reply and suggestion. Voice now coming through my phone. I shall go see if I can get my CarPlay to talk to me as well.
Ta. Your reply was very helpful. Phone now talking to me. Now for the car.
Unfortunately I have done the same thing. I much prefer Apple maps but this problem has been around for awhile now so I've come to the conclusion for whatever reason Apple could care less.
It is switched off, again sound only plays through the phone if Bluetooth is completely disconnected from the vehicle. There should be a toggle that allows you to choose if you want the sound to play through the phone or vehicle audio, the option has been completely removed for whatever reason.
I've been successful in increasing the volume for turn by turn directions while using my car's Bluetooth connection by using the volume buttons on the side of the phone while connected to Bluetooth in the car. Seems there is a separate control for increasing the gain of the signal being sent to the car via Bluetooth and that is increase by adjusting the volume control on the phone itself. Hope that helps. It also will make a difference in your call volume for telephone calls. I experienced an issue where even attempting to turn up the volume control in the car did not raise the volume at all. Turning up the volume as I said make a volume slider appear on the left side of the screen, and like other volume sliders showed an icon, and this one showed what looked like a Bluetooth icon in it.
No sound when using Apple maps on Ios15
