Audio Only Playing Through Phone When Paired with the Garmin Speak or Garmin Speak Plus

NOTE: The information in this FAQ only applies to phones using Android 8.0.

If the Garmin Speak or the Garmin Speak Plus only plays audio through the phone, rather than the device itself, you may need to toggle Bluetooth media playback settings on your Android phone. If not sure how to do that, consult your phone's owners' manual.

To Toggle Media Playback Settings on Your Phone:

  1. Go to Bluetooth Settings on your phone

  2. Touch More Settings

  3. Touch the gear icon next to Garmin Speak

  4. Touch the Media Audio button and then touch the Media Audio button again to toggle the setting

The audio should now be working on the device. If not, reboot your phone and try again.
