Volume has dropped significantly in text to speech

The volume in the view controller with the label has become extremely quiet even when just transferring text from the UITextView to the UILabel.

Almost evrything is working perfectly apart from the volume issue.

Speech Class File:

import UIKit
import AVFoundation

class TextToSpeech {

    private let synthesizer = AVSpeechSynthesizer()
    var Rate: Float = AVSpeechUtteranceDefaultSpeechRate
    var Voice = AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(language: "en-US")

    func Say(_ phrase: String) {
        let Utterance = AVSpeechUtterance(string: phrase)
        Utterance.rate = Rate
        Utterance.voice = Voice

        synthesizer.speak(Utterance)
    }
}

Text To Speech Controller:

import UIKit
import AVFoundation

class TextToSpeechTest: UIViewController {

    let speak = TextToSpeech()
    let label = UILabel()

    override func viewDidLoad(){ super.viewDidLoad()

        speak.Say(label.text!)
    }
}

Speech To text Controller:

import UIKit
import AVFoundation
import Speech

class SpeechToText: UIViewController {

    let textView = UITextView()
    let audioEngine = AVAudioEngine()
    let speechRecognizer: SFSpeechRecognizer? = SFSpeechRecognizer()
    let request = SFSpeechAudioBufferRecognitionRequest()
    var recognitionTask: SFSpeechRecognitionTask?
    let speechToTextButton = UIButton()
    let textToSpeechButton = UIButton()

    func recordAndConvertSpeech() {
        let node = audioEngine.inputNode
        let recordingFormat = node.outputFormat(forBus: 0)
        node.installTap(onBus: 0, bufferSize: 1024, format: recordingFormat) {
            buffer, _ in self.request.append(buffer)
        }

        audioEngine.prepare()
        do {
            try audioEngine.start()
        } catch {
            return print(error)
        }

        guard let myRecognizer = SFSpeechRecognizer()
            else { return }

        if !myRecognizer.isAvailable { return }

        recognitionTask = speechRecognizer?.recognitionTask(with: request, resultHandler: { result, error in 

            if let result = result {
                let bestString = result.bestTranscription.formattedString

                self.textView.text = bestString
            } else if let error = error {
                print(error)
            }
        })
    }

    @objc func speechToTextButton() {
        recordAndConvertSpeech()
    }

    @objc func textToSpeechButton() {
        let textToSpeechTest = TextToSpeechTest()

        self.navigationController?.pushViewController(textToSpeechTest, animated: true)
        textToSpeechTest.label.text = textView.text  
    }
}

Just want the volume to be normal. It was fine before I added the speech recognition.

This happened because you cause the mic to be on, when mic is on, the system reduces the speaker to prevent recursive noises.

Some options available when mic is on: - Use earphone speaker - Use handsfree

Because if the speaker continues on it's original loud and clear sound, it will continuously hear itself through microphone.
