Rayban meta GEN2 ISSUE with Playing WhatsApp Audio Message

I've two pair of RayBan meta gen2 "Headliner + Wayfarer", and few days ago the Headliner start the issue and today also the Wayfarer.

Each is connected to a different phone with different setups, but now both RayBan, when asked to play the just received WhatsApp voice message, they are muted, like they are playing a mute message...

It never happened before, all the audio commands and speakers works good on other applications...

We reset both glasses, reconnect, ans troubleshooting but nothing changes...

Anyone has the same issue?

So it's either a network problem, WhatsApp problem or firmware/OS problem. But at least it's not a hardware problem. Did you have a WhatsApp or firmware update recently? Have you tried using a different network?

            Yes, I guess that it was  because I have updated few days ago. The current version is 123.0.0.196.1

            But now I can't listen the WA voice messages, 🤷‍♂️
