getInstalledVoices() command isnt reporting all of the installed voices. Unable to change voice? #128

When I run the getInstalledVoices() command, it only lists three of the 13 voices I have installed on my computer. If I change the default voice in windows (even to one of the three listed in the console), it doesnt change the voice used.

I've tried changing both the narrator voice settings and text to speech voice settings (both of which list all 13 of my installed voices)

Windows 10.

The same exact thing here, furthermore one of the ones showing in my list returns an error when using. unsure if you tried to use all three of those or not

This package just calls PowerShell for windows in order to enumerate the voices. But for some reason MS had chosen to not make all voices visible through this API call. More info about this here and some workarounds:
