I just finished migrating my home assistant from vm to HOAS on proxmox. Everything is fine but my single voice pe assistant is not speaking aloud.

I have automations that have it announce data but it doesn’t do that either. . In the voice assistant debug menu it shows the response as if it worked completely fine.

The volume is max and it plays music fine. Just doesn’t speak

Specs I’m using include OpenAI conversion from hacs. Home assistant cloud for stt and tts.

in your voice pipeline, on the TTS section, does the "try voice" option work?

vagrant falcon Jun 13, 2025, 10:41 AM

#

Nope

long smelt Jun 13, 2025, 10:54 AM

#

vagrant falcon Nope

sounds like an issue with the cloud connection.
could you try a different voice model?
is your cloud subscription active?
if you go into the cloud settings and use the TTS try option there instead is it any different?

vagrant falcon Jun 13, 2025, 11:24 AM

#

Cloud is active

#

That does not work

vagrant falcon Jun 13, 2025, 5:02 PM

#

Should I get a new module?

long smelt Jun 13, 2025, 7:03 PM

#

you could try installing the piper addon and seeing if that works for TTS. this would hopefully narrow it down to it being a TTS issue or a HA-Cloud Issue

vagrant falcon Jun 13, 2025, 7:09 PM

#

Piper doesn’t work either

#

I tried that last night

#

But some how music assistant plays off of it perfectly fine

long smelt Jun 13, 2025, 7:11 PM

#

does piper work on the browser with "try voice"?

vagrant falcon Jun 13, 2025, 7:15 PM

#

Yes

long smelt Jun 13, 2025, 7:18 PM

#

ok so to recap
ha-cloud:

doesnt work when sent to VPE
doesnt work on browser with try voice

piper:

doesnt work when sent to vpe
works on browser with try voice

is that right?

vagrant falcon Jun 13, 2025, 7:18 PM

#

Affirmative

long smelt Jun 13, 2025, 7:21 PM

#

okay, that is strange.

#

can you try using tts.speak action.
in dev tools then actions tab

#

#

like this

#

try with and without the cache option ticked

vagrant falcon Jun 13, 2025, 7:24 PM

#

When instructed to announce a message thru automation, it fails as well

long smelt Jun 13, 2025, 7:29 PM

#

thats using the assist_satellite.announce action which uses the settings set in the voice pipeline which is attached to the voice satellite. which you can check also.

using tts.speak allows you to manually specify though which is why i asked you to try it that way as its more controlled

vagrant falcon Jun 13, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

Oh ok I see now. I can do that tonight . What should I do if it doesn’t work?

#

It was working fine with ollama, I don’t know why it wouldn’t when I switched to ChatGPT voice assistant settings didn’t change, only the provider

long smelt Jun 13, 2025, 7:32 PM

#

you have them set up as different pipelines?

vagrant falcon Jun 13, 2025, 7:32 PM

#

No both were on ha cloud

long smelt Jun 13, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

so the only change you made was here?

vagrant falcon Jun 13, 2025, 7:34 PM

#

Yes

#

I toyed with piper to see if it would fix anything but that’s what brought me here

long smelt Jun 13, 2025, 7:37 PM

#

and the vpe is set correctly here?

vagrant falcon Jun 13, 2025, 7:40 PM

#

Would this help?

#

long smelt Jun 13, 2025, 7:43 PM

#

ok it does look right.
trying manually calling tts.speak for both piper and ha-cloud options is the only thing i can think of at this point to further troubleshoot or at least narrow down where the issue is

vagrant falcon Jun 13, 2025, 7:48 PM

#

Ok

vagrant falcon Jun 13, 2025, 10:11 PM

#

long smelt

This does not work

long smelt Jun 13, 2025, 10:12 PM

#

can you show me exactly what you tried?

#

Just like you said

#

Still no tts

long smelt Jun 13, 2025, 10:46 PM

#

did you try it with cache disabled too?

vagrant falcon Jun 13, 2025, 10:47 PM

#

Yep and nothing

long smelt Jun 13, 2025, 10:50 PM

#

given that it plays music, i dont think its a hardware issue. theres probably some kind of config issue somewhere, i am just unsure where to look, you said it was previously working when you had it set to use ollama as the agent? if you switch back to that does it work?
