When the focus is on the button and the slider value changes via an onClick function, the screen reader won't announce the update since it remains focused on the button and not the Slider component .
Using a live region to announce the change could cause double-speaking issues when the user interacts directly with the slider. Alternatively, shifting focus to the slider could trigger the announcement but may disrupt the user’s workflow.
