Do you have a TTS engine installed? There are some instructions here: https://mapsme.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/208628985-How-can-I-check-TTS-settings-on-my-Android-device-

Thank you @bernikovich , the engine wasn't intalled. I did it then I can tick the sounds option.
While i can't test it now at work, i'll try it later on the road back home.

I'll just post to this issue because I have a similar problem. I have TTS installed (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.olga_yakovleva.rhvoice.android) and it is working in the system settings but not in Organic Maps. I can enable and disable TTS in the app's settings, but when I start a navigation, it stays silent.

@dominikstrb please share adb logcat logs after enabling TTS in the app's settings and restarting the app.

What is your device's locale? I see that TTS languages are not detected by our code for some reason. Either we didn't query it properly, or the package is missing something for proper integration.

Does it work in some other TTS apps, excluding system settings?

Yes, it works for example in Osmand.

@rtsisyk Looks like the current code has some bug that doesn't allow to detect TTS properly on Android side. Can you please take a look? Maybe it's locale-related.

Looks like there is a bug: if system TTS settings were changed, OM doesn't get these changes without a restart. So please relaunch the app after any TTS system modifications.

Same here:
OS: LineageOS 19 (Android 12)
OM: 2022.03.23-4-Google
TTS Engines:

Google googletts.google-speech-apk_20220321.02_p1.436777630
RHVoice 1.8.0 with Russian voice (Anna 4.1.2.10) installed.

Behavior is:

If system language is set to English, no TTS Engines are seen in OM, although they are seen in OS Settings;
Trying to enable voice instructions in this state only change switch to On, but only text changes, not the switch state;
If I'll change OS language to Russian, I can enable voice instructions in OM;
Luckily changing OS language back to English doesn't disable instructions in OM, so step 3 is a workaround.

Here's the logs for 1 and 2.

I think the problem is related to OM's outdated code of the TTS engine API, and it doesn't work properly on modern devices.
It would be great if someone can check it.

There is a workaround for RHVoice to work properly: to install ESpeak, and then restart the app.

installed eSpeak (looks deprecated, there is an 8 year old version and a 1 year old version, installed the latter). Rebooted device. Selected eSpeak in System Settings > Accessibility > Text-to-speech output > Preferred engine but no dice. Should I hear voice instruction when starting a navigation or do I have to be moving? Asking because testing this from a desk. eSpeak sounds rather horrible when playing a test snippet in system settings.

Sidenote: OM > Settings > Voice Instructions > For more information please check this guide takes me to a maps.me support article. Not sure if a KB exists for OM but that should probably be adjusted.

@foss- That is a known issue, there is a work going on: https://github.com/organicmaps/website/pulls/32

Espeak version on FDroid is built in 2021.

Did you try to switch to RHVoice after installing ESpeak?

No, so tried now:

switch system to RHVoice as Preferred engine. When then starting a navigation, still hearing nothing.

Edit: Actually moving did the trick and tts worked as expected. Now I am unsure if this would also have worked at an earlier point in time as all testing was done without moving device.

Is ESpeak still needed due to the way tts is currently handled in OM?

Forgot to mention: audio is disrupted whenever OM announces something, but when playnig a podcast with AntennaPod 2.5.2 the audio does not return once the announcement is over. Manual interaction via headset or mobile device allow to continue podcast. Have not yet tried if music behaves identical but would assume so.
Would expect for any running audio to ideally be continued after OM annoucnement is over.

There is an interesting instruction on how to make RHVoice work:

Install Organic Maps
Install RHVoice
Open RHVoice and install a language
Enable Talkback in Settings > Accessibility
Exit the tutorial and disable Talkback
Settings > Accessibility > Text-to-speech output
Make sure RHVoice is configured there
Open Organic Maps and the setting for voice instructions can be enabled.
