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
Yep, well after doing some digging around, there are a lot of people with this issue and it is a known problem. Previously you could simply select the device audio source directly from Maps. This functionality is now gone.
Instead, and I just learned this last night. When I want to use Apple Maps with Bluetooth connected to my car, but I want the sound to come from my phone, not the car. I launch Apple Maps and then from the control center (I swipe down from the top right of the phone) then in the top right in the audio box (I think it's called Airplay) I unselect car accessory Bluetooth and select iPhone. Bamm, problem solved. I can now use the car's Bluetooth functionality with my phone and have Apple Map's audio play through my phone.
I am not sure if Apple intentionally did this for the audio options, but if there are other people with this problem, please let them know to just change the audio options from the control center.
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
