I followed the guide to set the local Voice Assistant, but I do not get voice feedback, only text. I have local assistant without https, so I have to type requests in chat. I would still expect the audio feedback. Is that no possible with local assistant or without https? Or what am I missing in my configuration?
TTS is working fine as I hear voice if I run the test…

### Additional information
_No response_
ok I did not think that as a possibility. Downgraded to 2024.4 and it started working.
Thank you for your heads up.
Did you ever solve this problem other than going back to an earlier version of HA? I’m on 2024.12.4 and cant debug the audio in Assist. it doesnt hear me when i talk.
