why is elevenlabs causing an error ERROR livekit.agents - Error in _tts_inference_task

Thanks for reaching out, Arthur. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Hey there! That error message, "ERROR livekit.agents - Error in _tts_inference_task" with ElevenLabs, can pop up for a few reasons. No worries though—let’s walk through some steps to help you get it sorted out: 1. Check API Key: First up, double-check that your ElevenLabs API key is valid and set up correctly. You can do this by setting the 
ELEVEN_API_KEY
environment variable or directly when initializing the TTS client. 2. Verify Voice ID: Make sure the 
voice_id
you’re using actually exists and is correct. You can see all available voices with 
await tts.list_voices()
. 3. Check Model Settings: Take a look at the 
model
parameter and confirm it’s set to a valid ElevenLabs model, like 
eleven_turbo_v2_5
. 4. Review Error Handling: Sometimes network hiccups or unexpected responses from the ElevenLabs API can cause trouble. If you see an 
APIConnectionError
, it’s a good idea to check your internet connection and make sure the API endpoint is configured properly. 5. Check Audio Format: Ensure the audio format you’re requesting is supported. By default, it should be 
mp3_22050_32
. 6. Verify Streaming Configuration: If you’re using streaming, confirm that 
streaming_latency
and 
chunk_length_schedule
are set within valid ranges. 7. Enable SSML Parsing: If you’re working with SSML, don’t forget to set 
enable_ssml_parsing=True
when initializing the TTS. If you’re still stuck after trying these, just share a bit more about the error message or your setup, and I’ll be happy to help you troubleshoot further!

This happens whenever I put in a custom voice-id, and I know it should work since it is a valid voice-id. Why is this the case?

Hey there! If you’re running into this error when using a custom voice ID—even though it looks valid—it might be due to the configuration or permissions tied to your API key. No worries, here are some friendly steps to help you sort it out: 1. Double-check API Key Permissions: Make sure your API key actually has access to that custom voice ID. Sometimes, certain keys have limited access to specific voices. 2. Confirm Voice ID Accuracy: Take a moment to verify that the custom voice ID is entered correctly and matches what’s in your ElevenLabs account. You can use 
await tts.list_voices()
to see all available voices and confirm. 3. Review Your Setup: Ensure your ElevenLabs TTS client is set up right with the correct API key and voice ID. Here’s a quick example: 
tts = elevenlabs.TTS(api_key="your-api-key", voice_id="your-custom-voice-id")
4. Try the Default Voice: Give the default voice ID (
bIHbv24MWmeRgasZH58o
) a shot to check if the issue is really tied to the custom voice ID. If you’re still stuck after trying these, just share the exact error message or any other details about your setup. I’m here to help you get it sorted!
