After 2024.10 update google home mini TTS doesn't work after the speaker is off

After this weeks update my TTS stopped working properly on my Google Home Minis.

I use them in automations to announce a message (obviously) and i’ve been using the tts_cloud option which worked flawelessly.

The problem is that, when the nest is in ‘idle’ state, the message gets announced immediatly, every time.After a couple of minutes the nest goes into ‘off’ state. When it gets triggered by a tts automation trhere is a bootup sound, and then nothing.
If i run the automation again (so the nest is in idle), there is an announcement sound.

Sometimes the message does get through if the device is off.

I also tried a Piper and OpenAI TTS but without any luck. Seems to be a problem with the Home minis (Nest mini), maybe HA pushes the message while the nest still plays the bootup audio.

This was not an issue before this update. Any thoughts?

Same situation here. For now, I rolled back to 2024.9.3 and the issue is gone. Hope the next update will have it fixed.
