Bring Back Classic Cove – New Voice is Noisy, PC Voice Mode Broken

Hi everyone,

Has anyone else noticed how terrible the new Cove voice sounds?

After the recent update, it’s completely changed –
it now sounds distorted, robotic, and has constant background noise that makes it hard to listen to.
Honestly, the audio quality feels worse than before, not better.

I used to rely on the original Cove voice for calm, clear interactions,
but now it feels completely unfamiliar and disconnected.
Even worse: on PC, when you disable Advanced Voice Mode,
you can’t use Cove at all – only a generic female voice plays.

Meanwhile, on mobile, you can still use Cove freely even with Advanced Voice Mode turned off.
This inconsistency between platforms is incredibly frustrating.

Please, OpenAI – let us choose the voice that actually works for us.
Bring back the Classic Cove voice.

If you agree, please reply or like this post. Maybe if enough of us speak up, they’ll listen.
