Dictation, voice memos, hey siri not working.

I cannot get my iPhone 13 to respond to voice commands. Neither dictation, Voice Memos, nor Hey Siri works. I’ve tried turning on and off dictation. Didn’t work. Tried turning off and on Listen for Hey Siri, but it says it cannot hear me. I tried shutting down the phone and trying all these things again. Nothing. Apple support started to help me through a text chat, but then gave up. And yes, phone calls work. Seems to be a software issue. Is there a solution?

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Hello Steve_Brewer,


Your iPhone has multiple microphones, some apps or settings use different microphones to try to hear you better. You can try to resolve the issue by following the steps here: If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working - Apple Support


If the issue continues, we recommend that you reach out to Apple Support for more help: Get Support


Thanks.
