Bug: Voice guidance
Quote from dogboy on April 8, 2020, 12:19Hi, Guido. Not sure if you are getting my feedback through the TestFlight app. Version 2.2.7b2 has not corrected any of the audio issues for me. Volume still drops and does not come back, or sometimes the music will stop entirely. The only time the volume comes back up is if (1) my phone rings for a moment or (2) a recalculation cycle starts --- and even then, not always.

In there I ask for feedback to be emailed to me? Might have ended up in spam folder. Sender is ‘Scenic Beta’ (scenic@scenicappnewsletter.space)

I am also experiencing this issue. It always works to begin with, but after a few minutes the voice just stops, both giving directions and speed warnings.
The workaround is to kill the app and when it restarts, resume, but that’s a pain when riding.
I was wondering whether it’s because I was using an enhanced voice from iOS (kate). Will try the default (martha) on my next ride. Will also disable the speed warnings in case that is interfering.
I am new to the app and really like it. So hoping to get a resolution to the voice issue.

Quote from Guido on April 11, 2020, 06:20Hi Everyone,
just wanted to give you a quick update. So, there is currently a bug in the app that could cause voice instructions to stop playing after a while. This issue has top priority and I’m working with the Beta Testers to get this fixed as soon as possible. We are close to a fix and I’m hoping to release an update by next weekend. It’s all a bit slower currently because ‘going out for a test ride’ is not as easy these days, so bug fix cycles are longer.
Im keeping the support article on this subject up to date so best is to check there too: https://scenicapp.space/blog/knowledge-base/no-voice-guidance-instructions/
Apologies for this guys!!! Stay safe,
Guido

Quote from Sigop on April 18, 2020, 09:16Preliminarily looks like 2.2.7 fixed the audio bug.
- Noticed that within 24 hours of your release of 2.2.7 the APP store did not show the need to download as an update. Your notes pointed me to it. Likely fixed and updating by now.
- Tested this morning. Well done.
- First a programmed route which I followed--audio directions stayed on all the way.
- Next, deviated from planned route. Have auto recalculate set, not back to starting point. It recalced and audio directions followed and provided through end of multiple re-routes.
- Finally, ran route with music on (Pandora) and changing directions while traveling. Music diminished in volume, Scenic directions were given, and music returned to prior volume. All audio worked all the way through the ride.
- I'd say FIXED. Well done Guido.
Thank you.
Jim

I just downloaded the Scenic app and running 2.2.7 and used it for the first time. After the first few voice guidance directions it stopped working. this occurred throughout the riding day. Is seemed to cut out after I was using intercom and when switching music stations. I was hands free using my Cardo Freecom 4 unit. I am set on device default. Using a iphone 6.
Thank you

Could you post or send me (using email me button at bottom of support page) a screenshot of your Settings > Sound & Haptics settings? Then I'll have a detailed look. Thanks!

I suppose the Problem is the old device, iPhone 6 . This device doesn‘t have IOS 13.x
it‘s not able to upgrade to IOS 13.x

Quote from Guido on April 26, 2020, 13:48It should just work with iOS12 too, but this helps for my analyses. I will take a further look at this in the coming week! What is your setting for 'Voice Output'? (Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Voice Output). ?
