Thanks Richard and all. Richard I have done all of those things, including turning dictation off as well as Siri, turning the phone off and back on again. I have not used airPlay on this phone at all since doing a complete restore and starting from scratch. I will check on the audio ducking but it’s not in the rotor yet, so, I don’t know what it is set to but I will check it. :) I appreciate all of the help. Oh, and if I am using headphones and try to use Siri, I get nothing, not even a tone of any kind to indicate Siri is listening.
Again, thanks so very much, Christina > On Nov 23, 2014, at 3:08 PM, Richard Turner <[email protected]> wrote: > > I just had a thought. > Try going into settings and turning off Siri. > Power off your phone and wait a minute, then power it back on and then go > back into settings and turn Siri on again. > Once in a while, I've had a setting that wouldn't seem to hold until I did > this. > Also, can you get Siri respond when using the button on the earphones? > The other thought is that there might be an issue with your home button. > Also, calling Apple then going to the store makes sense if all else continues > to fail. > What a drag. > Richard > > > Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it. > > Jane Wagner, from In Search of Intelligent Life in the Universe > > > > Sent from my iPhone 5S > > > > On Nov 23, 2014, at 1:49 PM, Christina C. <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > >> I can’t even get a few syllables in.
