the sonata neural voices wont load in nvda.

[AdamRastrand1234]

Hello, I installed piper Sonata neural voices for nvda vertion 3.0, my nvda vertion is 2024.4.1 and went into the voice manager and chose Swedish as The Voice language, and downloaded a voice, I was really excited on the voice because it sounded good, so then I restarted nvda just as usual, and when I would then choose the speech synthesis engine it said "speech synthesis error, could not load sonata neural voices". I am of course very annoyed, but could you please come up with some kind of solution, here is the log file

Same issue here:

#55

I know we are all frustrated, but remember, NVDA v2025.1 Beta1 will be out soon, and that version of NVDA will most likely break the Sonata Neural TTS addon.

So it is probably a good idea to wait until the new version of NVDA comes out, so the Addon can be updated to work with NVDA v2025.1 and later.
