TL;DR

A Samsung user says Bixby started switching between different voices after a recent update.

The selected voice reportedly appears on occasion, while other responses use a lower, unfamiliar voice.

Samsung’s Bixby team acknowledged the complaint but did not confirm a bug or promise a fix.

Samsung has been working to make Bixby feel more natural , but one Galaxy user says the assistant sounds quite the opposite for them. Following a recent update, Bixby has reportedly started switching between different voices when responding, regardless of which one the user selected.

The complaint was posted in Korean on Samsung’s Community forum . The user says their usual voice sometimes appears on the second response, while the first and subsequent answers use a lower, unfamiliar voice. They also report that Bixby no longer matches the notification voice configured through a routine. Another commenter criticized the broader inconsistency in Bixby’s speech, claiming that the voice now changes noticeably depending on what it says.
