Q: Siri hands free "Hey Siri" not working Feb 22 2016
I go to set up the Siri voice recognition for the hands free thing while it's plugged into the charger, and it goes off witthout a hitch the first time. I then took my iPhone and played music through it while driving. Much to my dismay when trying to get directions in an unfamiliar part of town, Siri did not respond to my pleas until I held down the button to activate Siri.
So I figured I'd reconfigure the recognition louder. Shouted from across the room, it works. Music playing, no bueno.
I've done the soft power off twice so far, and another recognition setup. Seems to work fine only when there aren't any other sounds.
I'm using an iPhone 6+ in an Otterbox Defender case. I've been using the Australian female voice in all of this, but just changed to British female after skimming over someone's old post about the others not working right, have yet to try "hey Siri" while music is playing though.
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.2.1
