Siri Stopped Talking

Hi all,

I was going to post this as a question, but got the answer from Apple. I just thought I'd share here in case anyone has such a puzzling problem.

Symptoms: Siri does not speak out loud through iPhone speakers, only through ear buds or small ear speaker in the phone. No "Ding" sound to indicate Siri is recording or has finished recording.

Problem: It turns out, Siri only uses one speaker, and one of my speakers is bad. The Apple Support tech mentioned in passing that I could have a speaker problem, but I was thinking my speakers worked fine (I could hear my ringer, iPod music, speakerphone etc. through the speakers). I decided to listen to each speaker and discovered that one speaker had indeed stopped working. . . and apparently, it's the one Siri uses!

Very odd problem. I don't guess anyone else will encounter it, but I just wanted to share.

Hope this helps someone!
