StatusCode="FailedPrecondition", Detail="Voice does not match"

Question

Hi
We deployed the Cognitive Services container and trying to convert text to speech using SpeechSDK.

Our code:
var speechConfig = SpeechConfig.FromHost(new Uri("ws://localhost:5000"));

using (var speechSynthesizer = new SpeechSynthesizer(speechConfig))
{
var speechSynthesisResult = await speechSynthesizer.SpeakSsmlAsync(Ssml);

OutputSpeechSynthesisResult(speechSynthesisResult, Ssml);  

}

SSML:
<speak xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/synthesis" xmlns:mstts="http://www.w3.org/2001/mstts" xmlns:emo="http://www.w3.org/2009/10/emotionml" version="1.0" xml:lang="en-US"><voice name="en-GB-LibbyNeural">
Welcome to Microsoft Cognitive Services <break time="100ms" /> Text-to-Speech API.
</voice></speak>

We get the following error:

Connection was closed by the remote host. Error code: 1007. Error details: Status(StatusCode="FailedPrecondition", Detail="Voice does not match") USP state: 3. Received audio size: 0 bytes.

Do you know what is causing this error?

Regards,
Mike

@Wysocki Michal The text to speech API is available on host URL http://localhost:5000, I think you could check the same by updating your speechConfig endpoint.
ws://localhost:5000 is used for speech to text container.

Please ensure to run the neural text to speech container before using the endpoint running on port 80. Please check this section for details.

docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/azure-cognitive-services/speechservices/neural-text-to-speech:latest
