I have a macro that use Speak Text to announce the weather everyday. Today, the voice pitch & speed is completely off, despite me making no changes in MacroDroid (or Android) for ages.
I've tried changing the pitch and speed and doing a test, but the output is the same, it doesn't speak faster or slower and the pitch is the same. I've rebooted my phone and tried again, same thing.
My MacroDroid is fully up to date and it doesn't automatically update, because I've configured Google Play to never update automatically. So it literally broke randomly as of today and I don't know why.
I've checked the System logs and sometimes I see the following error, sometimes I don'T:
Regardless if I see the error or not, I get the same issue, where the spoken text is at the wrong pitch and speed.
It's not a problem with OpenTTS though, as MacroDroid should be able to control the pitch and speed of Speak Text, and it's not able to. I haven't tried reinstalling it, but I'd rather not to because it's a lot of extra work to get it set up (ADB permissions, Autostart, excluding it from MIUI battery saver, etc).
Any ideas why this is happening and how I can fix it?
