TTS Response is clipped at the beginning

[mdvickst]

I've got Wyoming Satellite running on an Ubuntu VM (Proxmox) with a USB speakerphone connected for mic/speaker and when it plays back the TTS Response the first 1-2 seconds is cutoff. Awake and Done wav sounds work as expected.

Here's a sample where the response was a simple "done" and nothing was played.

Try looking if lowering/toggling off this setting helps you:
#121

I had a similar issue

[motoridersd]

Considering doing this in a Proxmox box. Were you able to resolve the issue? Has it been working well for you?

[regnighc]

I'm also having this issue, and the suggestion at #121 didnt resolve it for me.
