I don’t know if there are other possibilities than a hardware defect or mic blockage for this change in behavior. At this time, I would suggest to contact an expert from the Apple Support staff for further assistance with your remote hardware. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/​email/​callback).

Siri on Apple TV is somewhat similar, but a different/separate implementation compared to other devices.


The microphone is also available for dictation in text input fields.

Apple TV is the new 4k

Remote is the new one

It used to work fine using the mic button on the side. Then the battery needed got very low and I was receiving a message that says I can't hear what you are saying. I charged the remote and turned off the remote, waited a bit, turned it back on. Still get the same message. Wonder if there is a setting in the Apple TV that needs changed.
