Hi there! 👋 I see you're experiencing an issue with a voice ID that Vapi claims is from Cartesia, but Cartesia confirms doesn't exist in their database. Based on the information I have, there are a few potential reasons for this discrepancy: 1. **Private Account Voice IDs**: This voice ID might be associated with a private account and not publicly available in Cartesia's database. According to [information I found](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1336231378844516373), some voices are associated with private accounts and cannot be shared publicly. 2. **Internal Mapping**: Vapi might be using its own internal mapping or cache of voice IDs instead of directly validating against Cartesia's database in real-time, which could lead to discrepancies like this. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try: 1. **Verify the Voice ID**: Double-check that you're using the correct voice ID without any extra spaces or characters. 2. **Check VAPI Agent Configuration**: Verify that your VAPI agent is correctly configured with the right credentials and settings. 3. **Sync the Voice**: Try syncing your voice with the provider again through the Vapi dashboard. 4. **Try an Alternative Voice**: If the issue persists, consider using a different voice ID as a workaround. 5. **Check VAPI Logs**: Look for any error messages or warnings in your organization's VAPI logs that might indicate what the issue is. Is there anything else you'd like to know about this issue or any other questions I can help with?

looking into it.
Hey Takka, Could you add more context to it? Honestly, I don't remember our last conversation regarding Cartesia vVoice ID, and when I try to find out the using shared Voice ID in our DB, I couldn't find the one even publishing through dashboard. Most likely this might have been changed or something else. If you could share more context along with the call ID when it was working, I could try to find out if it has been removed or is there any changes.

Not sure what else I can add here Shubham... I added the voice. You guys say it exists in Cartesia, but the Cartesia team says it no longer exists in their database. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1358864587214295141/1359592954083414106/Screenshot_2025-04-09_at_11.16.43_AM.png?ex=67f80b1c&is=67f6b99c&hm=e1b768343cf7e2c6815e084b5c05802f2c80eb1a00d1ea9239985fd3fbddf794&
Appreciate you looking into this

I looked into our Voice DB. This ID has been removed. Can you please try using some other Voice ID instead?
Let me know your thoughts on this.
