Voice / TTS Troubleshooting

TTS reads messages from a voice channel’s own text chat. Ordinary text channels are not the listening-mode destination.

Start or stop your messages

/tts action:listen

Use tts in the intended voice channel’s text chat. Stop with action:stop. Personal opt-out is preserved even in administrator-enabled everyone mode.

Check permissions and connection

Fork needs access to the channel and supported voice connection/playback. The direct command checks View Channel, Send Messages and Attach Files for the relevant channel path. One server permits one voice connection; messages from different channels cannot play simultaneously. Empty/inaccessible channels can be skipped.

Voice selection

Use the voice option’s Fish Audio workshop suggestions or a valid public voice reference. An unavailable/private voice or provider outage can prevent selection. Do not send Fish credentials in Discord.

Administrator-only settings

Everyone, only_me and autojoin operations require Administrator. Choose one change at a time: voice, action or autojoin. Autojoin does not erase personal opt-out.

A playback failure, provider credit issue and command refusal are different symptoms. Record the safe visible error and time; do not ask users to change network/production policy from a public troubleshooting guide.
