Responses from the voice PE are getting cut off early fairly consistently. Is this a known issue?
is up to date ?
I have such issue on announcements mostly. My Voice PE is on the latest FW version, just freshly re-installed 2 days ago from the web installer, but this issue stays. The funny thing is that I have 2nd Voice PE that barely has this issue. Maybe 1 out of 25 responses is not played fully. The trouble make maybe plays every 2nd response and fails mostly on annuncements. when i let it play as media player it works well though. No matter if it’s a tts generated or a saved file. Strange issue. any help is welcome.
Yes, latest versions of HA and Voice PE
This is no longer happening on 2025.6 and Voice PE firmware 25.5.2
i have the Firmware: 25.10.0 (ESPHome 2025.9.3) and still happening verry often so it is already frustrating. Any chance to fix this?
Has this been fixed? having the same issues in 2026.3.2
Yeah happening to me again on latest version (2026.3.3)
Update: switching access points seems to improve things so it looks like a wifi issue. I saw this GitHub issue (Stuttering when getting a response sounds like it's buffering · Issue #414 · esphome/home-assistant-voice-pe · GitHub) but that fix did not work on a Unifi Dream Machine Pro.
The difference in signal level between the two access points is only 6dBm (-43 vs -49) which both report as excellent in the UniFi control panel so I would expect things to work just fine on either.
Any luck since your latest post? I am also on Unifi and the fix is also not working. I think this started in the last few weeks. Everything is up to date.
EDIT: My Voice PEs are behaving normally now (except one that is the furthest away from the wifi). In troubleshooting that distance voice PE's stuttering, I overcorrected a setting on my Unifi access point by changing the Transmit Power of the 2.4 GHz from Auto to Medium. Changing it back to Auto returned my other Voice PEs to their normal working operation.
