I'm using llama as my model and about 10% of the time the TTS does not work but in the debug it says it executed correctly. It tends to happen more with long responses. Anyone else noticing this?

Yep, started happening today. The TTS part has stopped working, can still turn lights on/off etc but get no speaker responses.

#

Actually I think the speaker has stopped working

I was going to try and run piper on a different machine to see if that helps. I'm running HA on a windows NUC on VMWare so was wondering if it's a processing issue. It usually says piper took 0 seconds when it fails so my guess was the request was rejected

use this action call to delete any broken cache items https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/developer_call_service/?service=tts.clear_cache

Thank you. I've done that so 🤞 that resolves it

Yeah I've had no success unfortunately. It does seem to be related to the size of the response from the LLM. Piper receives the data and creates a .wav file and marks the job as complete

Most long responses don't work. Short responses do work

15s is the timeout for the pipeline. If the response takes more than that to generate, what you mentioned will happen and, AFAIK, there is no way to prevent that. Maybe add an issue for this?
