Hello:
I have a mac studio here,
ask siri is on, voice feedback is checked, but she can not speak, i do not know why.
i also tried typing to her, but she answered by typing also not by her voice,
so, what can i do other than what i did?

How about

Try plugging your keyboard into your computer? It's worked for me once or twice. Easy enough to try, anyway.

Accessibility

1. Go to System Prefs/Settings.
2. Go to Accessibility.
3. Navigate to "Siri".
4. Uncheck 'Enable Type To Siri'.
5. Win.

HTH. 😎

can not even listen to me or reply

I did and same results,
she can not even listen to me.
am sure that my mike is working.

Possible solution

Go to settings > Security & Privacy.
1. VO click on the Privacy tab.
2. Navigate over to the Privacy categories table.
3. Arrow down to Microphone.

If you see a message like, 'Apps that have requested access to your microphone will appear here', then you might need to test to ensure your Mic is working.

My advice would be to enable dictation (Settings > Keyboard > Dictation.

If Dictation works, then try disabling and re-enabling Siri but changing the hotkey for it.

HTH.
