Why does elevenlabs TTS cause failure in voice synthesis? API key is correct, model is correct, and is a valid voice-d

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! Sometimes, ElevenLabs TTS might have trouble with voice synthesis even if your API key, model, and voice ID are all set up correctly. Don’t worry though—here are some common things to check and easy steps to try: • API Key Permissions: Make sure your API key has the right permissions turned on. • Network Connectivity: Check that no firewalls are blocking WebSocket connections. • Request Parameters: Give the model ID, voice ID, and other settings another look to be sure they’re spot on. • Rate Limits: See if you might be hitting ElevenLabs’ request limits. • Streaming Configuration: Try tweaking streaming latency and chunk schedules if things feel off. • SSML Parsing: If you’re using SSML, double-check the syntax to avoid hiccups. • WebSocket Issues: Look out for any problems with the WebSocket handshake or connection. • Error Logs: Peek at the API response logs—they often have clues about what’s going wrong. • Base URL: Confirm you’re using the right API base URL. • API Version: Make sure your setup matches the API version you’re working with. If you want a hand with any of these or have other questions, just give me a shout—I’m here to help!

Hey there! That error 
livekit.plugins.elevenlabs - Error in recv_task
usually pops up when there’s a hiccup receiving data from the ElevenLabs API over WebSocket. No worries though—let’s walk through some common reasons and how you can troubleshoot them: • WebSocket Connection Issues: Make sure your connection to ElevenLabs' WebSocket API is steady and not dropping out. • API Rate Limits: Check that you’re not going over the allowed number of requests or connections. • Invalid API Key: Take a moment to confirm your API key is correct and set up properly. • Network Problems: Look out for firewalls, proxies, or network settings that might be blocking the WebSocket connection. • API Service Outages: It’s a good idea to peek at ElevenLabs' status page to see if their API is up and running. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try: 1. Double-check your API key and make sure it’s correctly configured in your environment or code. 2. Test your network connection to ElevenLabs' API endpoint to rule out any network issues. 3. Visit the ElevenLabs status page to see if there are any ongoing service disruptions. 4. Add retry logic in your code to gracefully handle temporary connection glitches. 5. Try easing the load on the API by tweaking your TTS settings—like reducing parallel requests or lowering audio quality. 6. Confirm the WebSocket URL is formatted correctly and all parameters look good. If you want a hand with any of these steps or have more questions, just let me know—I’m here to help!
