Automotive Device Doesn't Have Any Sound

There are a few settings that can be checked if your automotive device does not have any sound. The first thing to check is the volume or master volume is set to an audible level.

To Check the Volume or Master Volume:

  1. Touch the Volume icon on the Where To? View Map screen
  2. Confirm the volume is set to the desired level and is not muted

The volume level should now be set to the desired level. Change the voice to ensure the preset voice is not faulty if the device is still not providing spoken instructions.


To Change the Voice Language:

  1. Touch Settings
  2. Touch Language & Keyboard
  3. Touch Voice Language
  4. Touch the desired language
  5. Touch Save

The device will now speak the selected language.

The language files may need to be updated on your device if changing the voice language resolves the issue. See Missing or Corrupt Voice Files on an Automotive Device for instructions.

Ensure you are running the latest software with Garmin Express. See Updating Automotive Maps and Software with Garmin Express for instructions.
