Assist - M5Stack seems to freeze mid response

I’m wondering if anyone else has had this issue. Occasionally when using an M5Stack as a satellite for Assist, it freezes mid response. An example:

“Hey Jarvis” → M5Stack flashes blue and listens → “Turn on the lights” → Lights turn on → M5Stack says “Turning on l-” → freezes blue → about a minute later, M5Stack makes a cracking sound → this continues for several minutes until, eventually, it turns white, ready for another command

It’s almost like it’s freezing, and gradually completes speaking. Does anyone know where this would be logged in HA?

So far, this is my only issue with using an M5Stack as a satellite for Assist. Once I can figure this out, I’m planning on using this replace a Google Home Mini!!!
