#Text To Speech stopped working on Google speakers.

I've had a number of speakers making announcements via Text-to-speech for several years now, but they recently stopped working for some reason. They play the announcement tone, which would normally be followed by the actual speech announcement, but that part never arrives now. I've made some network changes recently that may be causing the issue. I'd appreciate any tips on where to start troubleshooting.

FYI this is my config for one of the announcement actions.

action: tts.speak
metadata: {}
data:
  cache: false
  media_player_entity_id: media_player.office_speaker
  message: There's a car in the driveway.
target:
  entity_id: tts.google_translate_en_com_au

If tts isn't working in your media players (and on a Google device at most you get a bloop), then the problem is most likely down to SSL. If you're using SSL in HA make sure that your Internet and Local Network are set correctly.
