#All sounds and TTS are just a chirp?

I had sound working for a few weeks, I bought a reccomended USB speaker and plugged it into my proxmox host and all was working well. I have door chimes, alarm, and some TTS setup for sutomations. About a week or two ago, all sounds coming out of HA are just chirps, like its playing just the first .5 seconds of whatever audio is supposed to be playing. Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting?

How are you playing the TTS audio?

Media player automation. This is the automation, been playing with it and different audio files to see if there's any difference, but its the same no matter what.

I was using VLC, when it started screwing up I read about an issue with VLC, so I switched it over to MPD and its exactly the same.

it could be that the expected format is not the same as the sent format (i.e. media_player.music_player_daemon doesn't know how to play the format of media-source://media_source/local/Sample_0000.wav

Try removing the media_content_type property and see if it makes any difference

It also fails on TTS, or any other media type. I shouldnt say fail...it just does that .5 sec play thing.

Does it work well on any other player?

Yes, the audio files play fine on my PC. Ive tried MP3, WAV, and TTS and it all acts the same way. TTS will just say "Hel" instead of "Hello Bodhi, welcome home"
