For some days now I don't have voice guidance during a trip. I tried everything, but it won't work.

What have you tried? Did you check if google maps for example also provides voice guidance? If not it could be that you accidentally turned down or muted volume for navigation instructions. In my car the volume for navigation instructions can be changed by adjusting the volume during a navigation speech, maybe you accidentally turned it off completely in a situation like that.

In the app itself there also is a setting in navigation settings to allow voice guidance.

hi Samuel, I tried maps en waze, these worked fine with voice, so i think it's something else

hi Samuel, maybe You can specify where I can turn the sound on/off in ARBP, I cannot find it
Your tip in another tread, Settings -> set Detailed to on
At the button - set Voice guidance to off

This option, I cannot find, do you have screenshots to help

So does the app itself provide voice instructions, if you do not attach it to Android Auto? Like when you navigate with the app only (you can also try this while walking).

Can you please check your TTS settings, maybe there is something wrongly set as default, which we try to use, where google and waze use a different TTS engine. You can check that in Android Settings:
System -> Speech & Input -> Voice Output (at bottom)

The preferred module should be speech services by google. Also when you click on the gear icon behind that, you should check that your preferred languages are installed. I remember another issue, where the TTS module was changed by an update on a Samsung phone. Maybe this is similiar.

If this helps let me know, then we need to fix this on our side, to select the correct TTS engine by default.

Ah, there is the solution. My app went dumb several times, and now I found that my phone reverts to Samsung TTS for some reason - which doesn't have my language installed.
