Not Getting VoiceOver Speech When Connecting To Mac With Jump Desktop

Hi Everyone,
I've been using Jump Desktop to access my Mac Studio from my MacBook Air while I'm away, and it's been working perfectly over the past year. However, in the past month, something has changed. I'm curious if anyone else has encountered this issue.
When I connect to the Mac Studio, I can hear all audio except for VoiceOver Speech. VoiceOver's navigation sounds and media playback audio come through just fine, but VoiceOver Speech does not. I also tried connecting via the iPhone app and experienced the same problem.
Has anyone else had this issue? More importantly, has anyone found a workaround?

Just bumping this, got the same issue.

Though, I'll say the new screen sharing in 26 makes jump desktop mac to mac pretty redundant. I would like to be able to access my home mac from my iPad when on the road though.

I'll continue to have a play and report back if I find anything.

I have the jump desktop app on iphone, windows, and mac. On windows it connects great once setup is complete. However on mac I get a connection refused dialog and no idea why has anyone seen this?

Connecting to what? The mac seems to require the Jump Connect app to be installed--you can't make a direct connection without it.

Are you connecting to mac from windows? Is audio working?
