At this point I'm saying Hey Google, what is 2*2 and that works. or I should say it worked. Without me doing anything a couple of days ago my phone started responding to Hey Google with a beep. Absolutely no settings changes between no response and a response. but yes, asking Google to take...

OK, tried that. it took me back to version 15.23.37.28.arm64. After re-enabling Hey Google, making sure that the Mic-open and Mic-close notifications were enabled and then restarting, I still don't get a ding. but Hey google does open Assistant and I can enter voice commands so nothing new is...

Thanks, I tried what you suggested. Including restart after enabling Switch access. no luck. still won't give me the ding. I never had to enable switch access in the past, enabling voice access was enough. But thanks for trying. please note that the "ding" worked until yesterday. No software...

An audible response to "Hey Google" is important to me. I use it to find my phone or to check to see if I remembered to put it in my backpack. It's just a beep, but it's darned useful. Yesterday it stopped working. When I say "Hey Google" there's a pop up that says "how can I help" but no beep...
