siri working perfectly for everything else but no longer provides spoken navigation directions while driving

Siri is audible and clear for everything except navigation directions on my iphone 12 pro. She works in the car on my husband's old iphone 8. She used to work fine on my iphone 12 pro but recently stopped. She gives the correct visual map but no spoken directions. I've turned Siri off and on. I've turned the whole phone off and on. Her volume is fine and apple carplay is activated. She has recently been updated to the latest version but I think this issue started before the most recent update. All Siri's settings have been checked and are fine. They pretty much match the settings on my husbands iphone 8 where she works fine. How can I make Siri go back to how she worked before and give me clear regular spoken directions so I don't have to take my eyes off the road to hear directions spoken to me?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 17

Check to see if mute is selected in Apple Maps. When the driving directions is active tap on the top right of the screen. You should see 3 possible items to select. One is Mute and shows a Speaker icon with a slash through it, the middle icon is for Alerts Only and is a speaker with an exclamation mark in a triangle. The top is a speaker icon with sound icons on the right. Select the top icon and see if Siri comes to life.

Hello!


First, Restart your iPhone. This often gets rid of unexpected issues you may encounter.


While on an active route, (there's a blue line telling you your way to the destination,) look on the right side of your screen. You will see a speaker icon that is a drop down list of voice options. Make sure that either the first or second option is selected.
