Missing Voice Prompts in Breathwork activity

Is anyone else not getting any Voice prompts when using the Breathwork activity? In the past there was always some voice audio during the "Introduction" and first steps (Breathe in...hold...)

I already tried changing around all audio settings with no luck.

A workaround I found by accident is to mute and unmute all audio (Through Settings->System->Sounds->Volume) while the activity is running which works but doesn't help getting to a calm state :D

Any other ideas or is this a known bug?

    The bug is still present in version 14.15. 

    Changing the System Volumen during the activity also seems to do the trick but it's quite annoying.

    Ah, so it's a bug? That explains it. I was wondering what the point of breathwork was, if you have to keep looking at the watch all the time... Hope this gets fixed soon. What's the best way to file a bug report?

    Hello!

    I am able to reproduce this with the devices speaker but it appears to work if I have a Bluetooth headset paired. Are you experiencing the same?

    Ah yes. I just tried it with headphones connected and it was working without having to do any workaround.

    OMG that's so cool! I just tried with headphones and it seems to work fine - however, not for all exercises. I've only tried the following ones, all of them are in-built

    • Relax and Focus (Short) - OK
    • Tranquility - OK
    • Coherence - Intro OK, no sound from Phase 1

    For Coherence, maybe it's just an issue with the file, then? 

    I'm so happy the others work with headphones though, it solves all my problems. Thanks :)

    Some more details that might be helpful: with headphones, even with those that start the audio for the intro and then the breathe in/out counts, after a few rounds the audio stops. Seems to be pretty random, and impact all of the exercises. Essentially, I haven't been able to follow any of the in-built breathwork exercises to the end without issue.

    Hope this is helpful. Thanks for looking into it!

    Hi Tracy, I was wondering if there's any update on this? Is there hope that a future update will fix it? Without the ability to do free style breathwork or set up your own (like you do with exercises), the in-built ones being unusable renders this entire feature unusable :-(
