Hello everybody,

I recently changed my PC configuration - reinstalled Windows 11 and MSFS2020.

I resinattled the latest AOO version (recently updated). My usual scripts work but not the voices. Cannot hear them (Microsoft David or MIcrosoft George for example).

Having a look in the Extras menu -> Show list of all SAPI voices, I have all my voices listed. When I double-clic on "Microsoft David", I can read "No supported audio formats found".

Is that my problem ? How can I solve it ?

Thanks a lot,

 

Cedric

Are they really spelled exactly the same way as in your script? The entire name is exactly the same?

Hello. 
Thank you for the help. 
Yes they are. I triple check that. Will redi but I'm pretty sure thats not the problem. 
Testing the voices in Windows (test button) I can hear them. 
Weird. 
Is there a way to "rescan/reinstall" the voices in AAO ?

Where can I check that AAO is using correctly my sound device ?

Hardware->Show list of all sound devices. Unless you set a specific device number for speech output using the (VOICEDEVICE: command, AAO will use the default.

In all the cases that I''ve heard of this was the problem. "Microsoft Dave" was suddenly named "Microsoft Dave Desktop" or vice versa. 

Also note the item where you convert WinRT voices into SAPI.

AAO doesn't have its own database of voices. It takes the information directly from the Windows voice module.
AAO doesn't have voice output either. It sends a processing request to the Windows voice module and then plays the result to you.

Hello,

 

Still nothing. No sound at all. I can hear de FS menu music. I can test the voices.

 

//exemples·(VOICERATE:-10)(VOICEVOLUME:50)(VOICEBALANCE:-75)(VOICEDEVICE:1)
//(VOICEMIX:helicotper.wav)
(VOICE:Microsoft·David)·(SPEAK:Testing·the·TTS·feature)

 

A very basic script. But nothing. I tested different voice, no joy.

And still: in the Extras/SAPI voices menu, double-clicking for example on the Microsoft David, the last line mention this: "No supported audio formats found"....

What does it mean ?

 

Thanks

Ok all good. I changed & modify some voices & language parameters in Win11...that did the trick.

Thanks your kind assistance.

Only Microsoft knows. https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/api/system.speech.synthesis.voiceinfo.supportedaudioformats?view=net-8.0#system-speech-synthesis-voiceinfo-supportedaudioformats

Be mindful that here MUST be space characters between all commands, operators and operands in AAO RPN
