I can't make the text-to-speech example work

Hello,

I can't make the text-to-speech example from this blog post work.

I followed the instructions in the readme.md file, but when right-clicking a Sound Voice > Edit in External Editor > text-to-speech , a command prompt opens, quickly closes, and the Sound Voice stays red and empty.

I modified the register so that command prompts open by .cmd files stay open upon completion, and this is what the log looks like :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\Wwise 2018.1.0.6714\Authoring\x64\Release\bin>call node "D:\Text2Speech_test\T2s\T2s\\index.js"
exception: {}
Press any key to exit

Not sure where to go from there...

Hi,

Please pull the most recent code from the repository, I updated the error logging to print the error correctly.

Then here is a check list:

  1. Did you try any of the other WAAPI samples? Make sure they work first.
    To try, make sure you installed the "SDK (c++)" package from the Wwise install.
    Try this sample:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\Wwise 2018.1.0.6714\SDK\samples\WwiseAuthoringAPI\js\hello-wwise-web-http
  2. Did you enable WAAPI from the user preferences?
  3. Did you allow WAAPI through your Firewall? Make sure Wwise is listed and allowed in the Windows Defender Firewall's Advanced Settings, in Inbound Rules.
  4. Try running the test-to-speech sample from the Visual Studio Code debugger, to know more about the exception. Open the folder, then press F5.
