Hello guys.
With iOS 16.1.2, there is a weird issue with VoiceOver navigation sounds.
When I connect my wired Apple earbuds, the navigation sound to the next/previous item is mono, and when I unplug it everything goes back to normal.
Does anyone have the problem?

Yes, this is a problem for both wired and wireless audio devices, however for wireless, if you move the speech channels to one speaker, i.e., left or right then revert back, sounds will be stereo thereafter. This trick unfortunately does not work for wired though.
