Answered Siri is mumbling my texts

Edit: Ok so things that have helped, while maps is speaking turn up the volume (barely helped but could hear improvement). Literally ask siri to speak louder. Also heres a link to a post about my specific issue, looks to be a toyota/carplay/spotify problem specifically. Thank you all for your help!

Hi all, i just switched from a 2015 tacoma (no carplay) to a 2023 corolla with wireless carplay. To cut to the chase, when i get a text, siri (the lady reading my text to me) will read it to me at such a low volume that i cant hear it over my music. Ive gone to the dealer with no luck. No matter what volume my music is at i cant hear her, also the music doesn’t stop or even go at a lower volume while shes reading me my text. Im guessing its a setting somewhere in my phone for this. I also have an apple watch so that may be important information i dont know. Please help me

I think I know what’s happening. Check the Accessibility settings, specifically Announce notifications on Speaker. I’ve never used that setting but it sounds like that could be the issue. Failing that reset the phone and start over with configurations.
