Android Auto Not Talking - Need Help

My AA isn't fully working.....again. My Verizon Galaxy S7 has been working fine ever since the last factory reset I did back on 8/8. At that time I turned off auto-update to apps in case some Google app was going to update and cause the issue again and I'm actually up to date on all my apps.

A few days ago everything was working fine. With no new apps added and no new updates and all of a sudden that night, my text messages stopped being read back to me. But the weird thing is the last couple of times this happened, AA wouldn't talk at all. So if I said "Call Steve mobile" the call would go through but AA never confirmed by saying "OK, calling Steve mobile" - or - if I asked for the weather it would just beep and be silent. This time around though, all that works. AA asks if I want to call mobile or home, and I can ask for the weather and get it. The only thing that AA is not doing at this point is reading text messages to me.

I've seen suggestions about making sure my media volume is up - and it is. SUGGESTIONS?????
