I use the bult in TTS feature in all my language cards and it works great in Windows. Here’s the typical front template I’m using:
However, I’ve started to review my cards in another (Linux Mint based) computer and I’m wondering if it is possibleto instruct Anki to ignore the {{TTS}} instruction when running on Linux.
I presume you’re wanting to remove the pop-up that’s shown when a player isn’t available; you could try this in an add-on.

Register a dummy TTS player to prevent a pop-up being shown when none is available.

Thanks very much, Dae, yes, that’s exactly what I’d like to to.
Unfortunately I don’t have any idea what to do with that code, so time for doing my homework, I guess 
You just need to drop it into a new add-on folder, like shown in this example: A Basic Add-on - Writing Anki Add-ons
OMG, I had tried, I swear! 
Working fine in 2.1.59, thanks very much again!
