SEGA decided that it was time for a change, the change may have also occurred do to the bad fan reception from Griffith's time as voice actor.

NO! Jason Griffith is currently voicing Sonikku
Really, it depends on which show and games you're talking about. Like in the old freedom fighter sonic show, Jeleal White played the voice of sonic, but, in the new version in anime came out in 2007 on 4Kids tv Jason Griffith played his voice and also shadows. He also played the voice of both hedgehogs in Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic hereos, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Riders, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Riders 2 Zero Gravity, and so on...
Both characters have had multiple voice actors, both English and Japanese.Sonic:**English**- Ryan Drummond (1999-2004)- Jason Griffith (2005-2010)- Roger Craig Smith (2010-present)**Japanese**- Keiko Utoku (Sonic CD)- Takeshi Kusao (SegaSonic the Hedgehog)- Junichi Kanemaru (1998-present)Shadow:**English**- David Humphery (2001-2004)- Jason Griffith (2005-2010)- Kirk Thornton (2010-present)**Japanese**- Kouji Yusa (current)
Cause 4 kids were stubborn and replaced sonic with Jason griffith (my favorite sonic voice but I liked Ryan too) even though Ryan even said he'd pay but he didn't live in New York. Then a bunch of fans wouldn't shut up about sonic's new voice and got Rodger to do it who is sonic voice makes me think like a 40 year old trying to be hip with teens and Danny Phantom. He sounded great as Chris on resident evil but doesn't sound good for sonic(my opinion).
As of Sonic Colours, Sonic's new voice actor is Roger Craig Smith.
