TTS broke on me in the latest update - 25.02.6

The beta release might be an option for you too. There was also one final patch 25.02.7 build that you could try. There’s been no other reports that mention TTS issues in the patch builds – so I wonder if the issue is 25.02.6-only?

Thanks! Yes, I think you’re right.

I just tested 25.06b1 and 25.02.7 and TTS works as expected. Only 25.02.6 is a problem.

I tend to lean on winget for installing and upgrading most software thesedays, and it didn’t occur to me to check for more recent versions than 25.02.6 on Github.

It’s not mentioned in the changelog, but this is the relevant fix: Treat play_file() and co as internal routines without protection by dae · Pull Request #4059 · ankitects/anki · GitHub

This also fixes the ‘Record Own Voice’ feature.

I had the same issue: no sound on windows. Android was working fine. After updating to version ⁨25.02.7 the issue was solved.
After I installed Zzz (legacy) No Sound Fix (libmpv), sound was back but then I got errors on some card.
Now I installed the new version and removed the addin. Everthing seems to be working fine again.

Sorry, that’s my fault - I was distracted with the packaging work and had forgotten to mark .7 as stable. I’ve also updated the change notes to mention they fix this issue.
