Strangely, I’ve gotten even more duplicated entries today (5 or 6 per voice) in b7, but after a little bit the lists is very similar to the list displayed in 2.1.54
The delay happens every time a card tries to play sound with all volices, except english american. Uninstalling and installing the microsoft voices doesn’t help.
Incidentally, when trying to use the TTS system with an uninstalled voice (for example the German voices), {{tts-voices:}} still show that voice in the list of availiable voices, even after restarting Anki:
But if I review and card using that voice, I get an error message and the built in TTS stops working at all (no sound in any card using TTS):
An error occurred. Please use Tools > Check Database to see if that fixes the problem.
