#voice preview goes idle after local audio playback

this issue is intermittent but replicated via an automation I have that is playing back an mp3 on my local home assistant filesystem. it happens in the logs immediately after the playback is supposed to be triggered and I never hear the audio as a result.

it doesn't happen all the time, but it's frequent enough to be frustrating. running the latest has os, voice firmware, etc

it's a very simple automation.

now it's now playing sound at all. verified speaker is on and working (when I hot swap the aux I get the chime sound that it's been plugged in from voice preview hardware)

Jarvis responds to me but it doesn't play any sounds I'm pointing at it from localhost has or dlna

also if you run the action via the actions section of the dev tools does it work?

it doesn't work via dev tools -> actions.

what does this mean? the url to the file works in my browser.

#

my media player state says it's playing, not muted, but no matter whether i play something from dlna or my local file host i don't hear anything. i don't hear anything with the built in speaker or when i plug into an external speaker via aux.

i DO hear jarvis responses, however.
