Text 2 Speech -> Volume not adjustable ?

[thekraut]

Hello,
we're testing Teamspeak 3 since yesterday.
A great software but we havent found an option to lower the volume of the Text-2-Speech funktion. The Option "Volume of Soundpack" is useless.
Any workround known ? Bug ?

thank you!

The TTS volume is a Windows-Setting, not a TeamSpeak setting. You can cofigure it via Windows Control Panel.

Actually i searched for it after i saw another post about this and i couldn't find the TTS volume control in Windows

At least Windows 7 doesn't have it...the others i can't remember.

Same here. I couldnt find the option.
I can edit the speed of speaking, but theres no option to adjust speaking volume. If i choose the volume button the normal windows-mixer is shown.
Options here are: Main-Volume, Wave, SW-Synth, CD-Player, Line-In
OS is WinXP

If you got Windows 7 just open the Control Panel and enter "Speech" into the search box

And then what?

I still can only see to change the speed of TTS, output device, settings of the Narrator (this isn't the same as TTS, although it uses the same engine) and voice recognition.

Windows TTS output is using the Windows default output device with the volume set in the mixer. So to adjust TTS volume, you need to change the mixer volume either in the system tray or system sound preferences.

I am not aware of a TTS specific volume control in Windows, but correct me if I am wrong with this.

Even in Windows 7, with the mixer for individual applications sound control i can't set the TTS volume.

Hi,

on windows 7 there doesn't seem to be a way to adjust TTS volume.
Another known voice app is able to adjust TTS volume via a slider.
I thouroughly checked all TTS options in windows, but could not find a way to change the volume.

Any news on the problem that when someone talks using a secondary push-to-talk key (L-CTRL) for a whisper list, he will continue to broadcast after releasing the PTT key when someone connects/disconnects to/from the server or switches channels? The only way to stop broadcasting is to restart the client...

Thanks for reading!

You will have to change in the client code that use the SAPI to output the TTS.

The slider currently only controls the WAVE files volume output, to change the TTS volume you have to embed a variable wrapped around the string like this:
<volume level="90"></volume>

IE, in your say() function you have to wrap it with a volume and a variable.

Easier than pie on a stick!

Is L-CTRL hotkeyed both for DOWN to Activate whisperlist and UP to deactivate it?

Set the hotkey via the Whisper list page in your settings instead of using the hotkey area to avoid this problem.

L-CTRL works fine, I initially have set it on the whisper list and yes, it's hotkeyed both for DOWN and UP, but still - problems start when I talk and someone connects/disconnects at the same time, it wont stop broadcasting until I restart the client. This not only happended to me, but also to several other people...

It seems there is no solution for this problem.
To adjust the main volume isnt a solution for me when im playing games and use ts3.
better i turn off this feature. It's such a shame.

<volume level="90"></volume>

Good one. Thanks!

Do you have a full example of this?
Ive been unable to get this working correctly, heres a portion of the file.
(note: this is from the actual ini file. I find the "" dont display the same in the client as they do in the script.)

This is what the start of the file looks like:

[info]
name = MySoundPack
version = 0.2
author = TeamSpeak Systems GmbH
readonly = 1

[soundfiles]
#
# Connection
#
CONNECTION_CONNECTED = say("Connected to ${servername}")
CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED = say("Disconnected from ${servername}")
ect.....

And this is what ive tried on CONNECTION_CONNECTED:

CONNECTION_CONNECTED = say("<volume level="50">Connected to ${servername}</volume>")
CONNECTION_CONNECTED = say(<volume level="50">"Connected to ${servername}"</volume>)
CONNECTION_CONNECTED = say<volume level="50">("Connected to ${servername}")</volume>
CONNECTION_CONNECTED = <volume level="50">say("Connected to ${servername}")</volume>

Anyways Ive had no luck with any of these and ive tried a few other variants as well. Maybe you can point me in the right direction?
