Google Assistant no longer gives me an audible mic-on notification
When I first set up my Pixel 6, I could open Assistant without looking by saying "hey Google." A brief two note tone would let me know Google was listening. It no longer does that.
How do I get it to go back to doing what I need ?
Somehow I have changed a setting and it no longer works. Inside the Assistant settings, there are Accessibility options. Both Mic-open notification and Mic-close notification are selected.
