Voice control turns itself off, I say 'hello tomtom' and it shows on screen 'I'm listening' but the micrphone is off, I switch it on then it turns off again. Also when asked to read sms aloud no voice is heard, but screen looks like it is reading to me. I have done soft reset and factory reset and its still the same, navigation voice still works though

Hi
@deeneecy
Check... Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Setting --> Voices --> Choose a voice... Serena or Malcolm
Scroll up the list as well as down, sometimes there are voices in the list of above the displayed installed voice
_________________
If the Voice is not available over Wi-Fi....
Try my Workaround for Installing Voices on a Wi-Fi connected device using the Menu structure of MyDrive Connect....
Using MyDrive Connect.…
Check.... My Content --> My Voices --> 'Add Voices to your device'... Are the Serena and or Malcolm the UK Voices available in the list to install ???
If 'Yes'... Try reinstalling the Serena or Malcolm UK voice using MyDrive Connect plus My Workaround... As you know all the updates on a GO Wi_Fi connected devices are executed on the Menu structure on the device, the Workaround allows you to use the MyDrive Connect Menu structures on a Wi-Fi Connected Device....
Tip... If you are installing the TTS Computer voices, they are larger MB sized files... The recorded voices' are smaller KB sized files (The TTS voices can read out Street names, Road signs etc)
Note... This workaround doesn't work on the latest GO Discover Models....

Using the above method, 1st I reinstalled the Malcolm Voice...
Note... I did experience a small glitch when I tested the Malcolm voice, the voice was installed, but when I tested the voice it was silent, no spoken instructions ???
Then I reinstalled the Serena Voice, using the above method... After installing the voice, I Tapped 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Setting --> Voices to select the voice, and Serena, Malcolm were now both working normally again
If you can't find the Voices using Wi-Fi or MyDrive Connect....
@VikramK or @lampard the Forum Moderators should pick this up on Monday and allocate the appropriate Computer Voice to your Account...
