Hey there @velleman, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (linkplay) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

same. I see home assistant in the 4stream 'playing' but very very silent ( no text to hear ) Did not work either with hacs linkplay... might device related ( i have arylic players )

If it helps, it worked with this integration on a Jam Voice https://github.com/nagyrobi/home-assistant-custom-components-linkplay

I have the same issue. I have a Jam speaker that was working fine with piper and the old custom Linkplay component. Since it was deprecated by the owner, I installed the new Linkplay integration. Since then, I no longer have TTS announcements on my Jam speaker. I wonder, is this because the output is in .wav format?

Some fixes went in 2024.9.1 that may have resolved your issue.

Can you share how you made it work on the old custome Linkplay component, did not get it to work there either.

This issue is present on my wiim minis but not my wiim amps, so it seems to be hardware dependent

I also have this problem on Ayrilic 50 and I can't solve it. Please help
