Hi -Hoping someone can help me with this one.

Updated in car Sat nav to recent version for my 64 plate Octavia,All ok boots up and works as such except i get no verbal commands/directions from the car.I tried the SD card in my mates car and works fine but his wouldn't work in mine (no sound) so the card seems ok its something in my car.

Volume for radio/CD etc is fine i tried a hard reboot by holding down power button for 10-20 seconds still nothing.I told the sat nav via voice command to enable voice -and again still nothing.

Racking my brains now 

Have you checked your navigation volume isn't 0? You can adjust the volume in the sound settings menu, or you can simply just turn up the volume whilst instructions are being given.

 

 

+1 for above.

If I remember right, pressing down the volume button will mute the navigation if you do it while the instructions are being read.

I had the same problem at the beginning, music was normal but no spoken directions & I couldnt figure out what I'd done.

 

Turning it back up is tricky because you only know of the directions by the small flag symbol in the maxidot until I found the individual volume settings in the menu.

With voice control it is easy to turn the sound on and off. While in the map screen, press the voice button and then say "Navigation Announcements On" or "Navigation Announcements Off". As said, you can alter the nav volume while it is giving a direction. You can get it to repeat the announcement by pressing the roller wheel - all this is with Columbus MIB1, I presume it is similar with Amundsen.

Thanks for replies everyone -ive been away for a few days -so will try the above ideas tomorrow and report back -seems silly though if you can mute the sat nav volume and then its so difficult to turn back on?

It's how most in-built satnav systems work in terms of setting the volume. It's pretty straightforward if you know where to look. Let us know how you get on 

Morning all -well ive tried everything suggested and still no sound -im at my wits end now -wonder if i take it into Skoda they'd have a look -typically its just out of its 3 years warranty even though im still paying the pcp until June.It really cant be anything much but i have just run out of ideas now -had to use my Garmin yesterday whilst driving over to Hull -Thanks again to all help and advice given-appreciated

If you press in  the right hand knob it will repeat the last directions and then you can turn it up with the left hand volume control

hi Ords- i will try again the above 

its strange because if i take my sd card and place in my friends Octavia -sound is fine.Also when i start a new route it announces -starting naviagtion its only missing sound on actual directions .

Thanks again for all help/suggestions
