Hello,
I am not currently running the 26.4 beta but am seriously considering running it, hoping it fixes both of the following issues I've been facing.
At random, the Reed variant of the Eloquence voice will suddenly & completely go silent.
Also, my ringtone will not play.
With the Voiceover voice issue, I'm using the Reed variant of Eloquence.
Regarding my ringtone, it tends to quit working when used in conjunction with the app my employer uses for our phone system.
Both issues happen so randomly that I cannot reliably reproduce them.
Has anyone seen either of these issues?
If not, I may be more likely to upgrade.
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis
If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.
If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.
In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.
All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.
