Announcements Silent Not Working

Hello jogiesmokes,

To start off with, let's make sure you are following the steps to set this feature up from this article: Announce notifications with Siri on AirPods or Beats. If everything is set up as expected, please follow this guidance from the article:

"If you don’t hear Siri announcements

If you don’t hear Siri announce your notifications, try these steps:

1. Make sure that you're using a compatible device.
2. Make sure that your AirPods or your compatible Beats headphones are paired to your device in Settings > Bluetooth.
3. Go to Settings > Notifications > Announce Notifications and make sure that Announce Notifications is turned on.
4. Make sure that your iPhone or iPad is locked and its screen is dark. Siri doesn't announce messages if you're using your device."

Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue so we can look into this further with you. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
