Voice Server to works on WSL/Windows

[jdax57]

There was some code adjustment to the server.ts file to get it to work with Windows through WSL:

Here is the edited server.ts:

VoiceServer-TS.md

Also need to install the following:

🪟 3. Windows / WSL Audio Prerequisites

On Windows:

1. Install FFmpeg and add ffplay.exe to PATH.

2. Optionally install BurntToast for better notifications:

   Install-Module -Name BurntToast -Scope CurrentUser -Force

On WSL (Ubuntu/Debian):

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y ffmpeg mpg123 libnotify-bin
mkdir -p /mnt/c/Users/Public/PAIVoice/tmp

This shared folder ensures Windows can read MP3s generated inside WSL.

Cool, thanks for this! When I get time I'll give it a try (assuming I can also get that observabily app running dependably. (Maybe you have tricks for this as well as it seems tricky in wsl 😅).

I was setting up something similar for wsl PAI to windows communications so I could use a local install of xtts. Only got as far as getting the monitoring server to notify it had started up. 🙃

Ngl....I did use ChatGPT to help me cross the finish line..;)

Voice server currently requires macOS — it uses system audio frameworks that don't have a WSL equivalent yet. WSL2 users can run PAI without voice (just remove the voice curl lines or let them fail gracefully). Native Windows support for voice is on the radar but not yet scheduled.
