Hi there, I am having issues on playht and 11labs, can you check it out playHt (231fd8e4-ed5f-4e90-9eb5-d7e83c61b2ed) and a slow weird pitch sound on 11labs (ec8cc3a5-1e28-4610-97bf-fc47df0dc8ee)

Hi there! 👋 I don't have specific information about the exact voice IDs you've shared, but I can definitely help with troubleshooting the slow voice and weird pitch sound issues you're experiencing with both PlayHT and 11Labs. ## PlayHT Troubleshooting For the slow voice and weird pitch issues in PlayHT, here are some things to check: 1. Verify Voice Configuration - Check if the language parameter is correctly set, especially if using Play3.0 Mini models - Ensure your voice ID corresponds to an existing custom voice in your Play.ht account 2. Adjust Voice Parameters - Try adjusting stability (try 0.5) and similarityBoost (try 0.75) parameters - These settings can significantly impact voice quality and speed 3. Check for Technical Issues - Refresh your voice library or clear any caches - Verify your API keys and access permissions are correct - Make sure S3 bucket permissions are properly set if using custom voices 4. Try Different Models - Consider switching to a different voice model within PlayHT - Some models perform better than others for specific use cases ## 11Labs Troubleshooting For the slow voice and weird pitch sound in 11Labs: 1. Model Selection - Try using the Turbo model instead of the Flash model - According to information I found, the Flash model sometimes has "hiccups" that can affect voice quality 2. Adjust Voice Parameters - Reduce the "style" property to 0.0 (high values can cause instability) - Experiment with clarity and stability settings - Check if there are any speech parameters you can adjust like speed and pitch 3. Technical Checks - Ensure you're using the correct voice ID and API key - Check for network issues or encoding/decoding errors - Sync your cloned voice with VAPI if you're using a cloned voice 4. First Message Issues - If the first message sounds strange, it might be a caching issue
- Try changing the first message and then switch back to the original after some time Is there anything specific about these issues you'd like me to elaborate on further?

To help track down this issue, could you share one or two: - The call ID - When exactly this happened (the timestamp) - What response you expected to get - What response you actually got instead This would really help us figure out what went wrong!

Hi @Kings_big💫 No Playht is still lagging in the middle of conversations

Looking into it

Can you share the time duration at which this issue is happening? @nightcrawler

Thanks for responding. Time duration as in like if there is a specific time through out the day that this is happening

It seems a bit slow, I would increase the speed a little on the voice additional configuration of the assistant. Have you tried any other voices or providers to see if you get the same lag?
