No sound from Read Aloud
When I try and "Read Aloud" it appears to be working (animation moves, start/stop work, voice selection available etc.) but I get no sound. I have checked all the sound settings and everything else ...

Hi,
same problem for me with last few builds (Version 79.0.300.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)+os build 18999.1). All new "Online (natural)" voices give no sound. All "old" voice versions (not online) are OK.
Voice flag is enabled.
And, yes, new voice setting window looks awesome! Thanks!

Same problem on latest stable new Edge, it just doesn't work with the online voices anymore.
10/8/20: STILL DEAD IN EDGE 86.

Microsoft
did you do anything? change setting etc? I am having the same issue. However, I just did the latest update.

Actually, didn't do anything other than update. I have read elsewhere that apparently the problem was due to a flaw in the Strict tracking prevention mode affecting the online read aloud voice access. It could have been fixed all along if switched back to Balanced, e.g. But now it finally works as expected again with Strict mode selected. Cheers
