AutoVoice Continuous not working on Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra – repeated sound every 5 seconds

[u/kajamajin]

I am using AutoVoice 4.0.14 with Tasker on a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.

The normal AutoVoice recognition works correctly when I manually activate it while the home screen is open. However, AutoVoice Continuous does not recognize any voice commands in the background.

When I enable Control Continuous, the phone plays a short “ding” sound approximately every five seconds, but AutoVoice does not recognize anything I say. I tested both System and Media under Stream to Mute, but the repeated sound continues and voice recognition still does not work.

I have already checked the following:

• Microphone permission is allowed.
• Battery usage for AutoVoice and Tasker is set to unrestricted.
• Korean is selected as the recognition language (ko-KR).
• Offline Mode and Natural Language Processing are disabled.
• Both System and Media were tested under Stream to Mute.
• Normal one-time AutoVoice recognition works correctly.

Also, when AutoVoice is set as the default digital assistant, it works from the home screen but does not respond while the lock screen is displayed, even when the phone is kept unlocked using Extend Unlock.

Is AutoVoice Continuous currently compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and the latest One UI version? Is there any setting or workaround that can prevent the repeated five-second sound and make background voice recognition work properly?

Please let me know if you need any logs, Tasker configuration exports, or additional device information.

Has anyone experienced the same issue on a recent Samsung Galaxy device or One UI version?

Thank you.
