We're not able to reproduce this error yet, but we're still working on it. Thank you very much for the photos and details. If you make any progress, please let us know.

We have resolved this issue. We were able to reproduce it after a Microsoft Windows update. We have released a fix to prevent this error from happening again: https://synthiam.com/Products/ARC/Releases/ARC-2022-06-19-00-Early-Access-Runtime-21209

Great! Thanks guys. It works now.:D

But it works with PC speakers only. I can NOT enable the PandoraBot to speak out of the EZB speaker. There is no *Optional setting box "Use EZ-B v4 Speaker" as is shown bellow: (what an astterix in front of Optional setting means?)

I added $EZBPlayingAudio global variable to the PandoraBot script as follows:

getVar("$EZBPlayingAudio"); Audio.say(getVar("$pandoraResponse"));

but it did not resolve the issue. I have tried to find resolution in the ARC help files, but could not. Sorry if I missed out some help files to read.

Woops. LOL. Looks like the "Speak Response" and "Use EZB v4 Speaker" are both missing. The tutorial shows this:

You’ll want it to use the ezb say command. Change the script to be

Audio.sayEZB(getVar("$pandoraResponse"));

Here’s the help for that command: https://synthiam.com/Support/javascript-api/Audio/sayEZB

Interesting....are EZ-Bv4 features being taken out of skills? I wasn't informed of this.

The speaking feature was removed a few years ago or so because it makes more sense to script the response variable.

i don’t know what you mean about ezb features being removed from skills. Any ezb can use any skill, whether an ezrobot product or ardunio (depending on supported capabilities)

I even went back to my project that was working previous to the change, and it no longer spoke the PandoraBot response.

Why were the checkboxes removed? They were helpful, checkboxes are easier than having to remember to add a line of code.
