[URGENT] Squad STT and TTS suddenly very slow and ...
# support
e
I created a new squad with 2 very simple assistants to test the routing (a few lines of prompt, no more). I add an existing assistant in the squad (31 lines of prompts, nothing crazy). I don't even connect it to another agent: when I start the conversation through a web call, the agents speak extremely slowly, I can't even understand what it says. The STT when I speak is also slow and completely wrong ("I would like to know more about your services" transcribed as "It's a fun event." ??!!). I tried by removing or addind agents, creating a new squad, refreshing the browser, the problem remains. As soon as I have more than 2 agents in the squad, the problem occurs. I'm using: Chrome 142.0.7444.176 Windows 11

Try updating your squad's transcriber to use Deepgram Nova 2 or Nova 3 for faster and more accurate speech-to-text. Here's an example configuration snippet:
Copy code
json
"transcriber": {
  "provider": "deepgram",
  "model": "nova-2",
  "language": "multi"
}
Apply this in your assistant or squad settings and test again—this often resolves slow and inaccurate STT/TTS issues when multiple assistants are present (according to the documentation I have found: https://docs.vapi.ai/customization/multilingual).

All the agents use Deepgram Nova-3. They all work individually. As I said: it's when you have more than 2 of them in one squad that it stops working and becomes messy.
It's urgent, I've got a demo to a client tomorrow morning.
Other bugs: 1. one of my squad suddenly "disappeared" from my dashboard an is no longer visible (I had to recreate it from scratch). 2. If I add an assistant to a squad, then delete it, then save, it still there when I reload the squad (it appears with some opacity, like a ghost). No matter how many times I delete it, it's always there.

Hi Elodie T., If you're setting up a call system and experiencing issues, consider the following: 1. **Assistant Configuration**: Ensure the assistant configurations, including models, voice providers, and server settings, are properly set up. Refer to the [changelog](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2024/10/13) for details about configuring voice models and servers. 2. **Squad Setup**: Use the provided examples in the [clinic triage and scheduling squad document](https://docs.vapi.ai/squads/examples/clinic-triage-scheduling) to guide the setup of multi-assistant squads, preserving context and managing transfers effectively. 3. **Voice Speed Issue in Squads**: If an assistant within a squad speaks slowly, ensure all voice providers match in sampling rate (44100 Hz) as outlined in the related threads. 4. **Call Timeout and Max Duration**: Adjust the call duration settings if necessary, as the maximum duration is now up to 43,200 seconds, according to the [October 19, 2024, changelog](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2024/10/19). Implement these configurations to optimize assistant performance and transfer procedures.
