Play Audio node in Node-RED not working after Home Assistant upgrade

I have a simple flow in my Node-RED that sends a tone to the PC speaker. It gives an audible alert that a “Deploy” is finished. It worked fine before upgrading from 0.72, but now it doesn’t. Has anyone else used the Play Audio node?

Try upgrading Node-RED, I think 19.5 is the latest version

There is no upgrade- I just upgraded everything including my add-on’s when this problem occurred.

Still puzzled. The Play Audio node is working. I can send it text and it will convert it to speech. I also verified the wav file location.

Question- In HassOS, who owns Node-Red? The wav file is currently owned by root, so I am wondering if that might be the problem?
