Unfortunately, that setting doesn't appear on the Pixel 6. It really sounds like a convoluted way to fix a problem that shouldn't exist.

Try this.
Go into settings and do a search for "Speech Output". See screenshots.

That did it. Wonderful. I owe you big time.
BTW, strangely, the Assistant Voice worked in Google Maps without a hitch.
Anyway, thanks again. Believe it or not, that function is my most favorite uses of the phone,

I'm glad that solved your issue. I agree that a vocal Assistant is desired. I use Assistant many times during the day and often when the phone isn't close by. So hearing it respond is important and reassuring. I just don't remember a time I didn't hear it vocally respond so I was befuddled when my wife's P6a didn't. I hope this isn't a Google trend for all Pixel phones.

I believe this is known as the "Pixel experience" lol.

But the working solution wasn't. The problem is there shouldn't have been a problem in the first place.

That's exactly what I meant.
