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 ...

Same problem on latest stable new Edge, it just doesn't work with the online voices anymore.

Well, it's been quite a long wait, but just today I have found the online natural voices to finally be working again! -- 89.0.774.45

    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
