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 that the volume is set to an audible level.
To Check the Volume:
- Touch Settings
- Touch Device
- Touch Sound & notification
- Confirm the desired volume for any that apply:
- Navigation
- Media
- In-Call
- Alarm
- Notification
The volume should now be set to the desired level.
If the device is still not providing spoken instructions at this point, you will need to change the voice to ensure that the voice language selected on the device is functional.
To Change the Voice Language:
- Touch Settings
- Touch Map & Vehicle
- Touch Voice Language
- Touch the desired voice language
The device will now speak the selected voice language.
If changing the voice language resolves the issue, the language files may need to be updated on your device. For steps to do so, see Missing or Corrupt Voice Files on a an Automotive Device.
If changing the voice is not helping you will need to ensure that you are running the latest software, which can be done via Wi-Fi or with Garmin Express. See Wireless Map and Software Update Instructions for steps to update the software on your Garmin device via Wi-Fi.
To update with Garmin Express see Updating Automotive Maps and Software with Garmin Express.
