Exact same issue, i have made a thread a week ago. You actually detailed it in a less stupid and casual way than me though.
May i add, i tested it on a new account on another PC on windows 11 (mine is still running with 10) and it’s the same exact problem. Also tried 4 different browsers (brave, chrome, mozilla and edge). Someone on my thread actually got a response from a dev saying something like “we are aware and will be working on it”. Not me though, after asking me to do a bunch of random stuff for three replies, they just deleted the support convo and sort of ghosted me…
As for the voice, it’s the default one used on custom GPT, it’s named Shimmer i think.
Though, the voice selection should be working in vocal advanced mode on PC too. But that’s not what i (and probably you too) want, it got a shorter limit of usage and it feel weird for some things.
It really suck, even more since i’m paying for it ! I mean, i pay for others functionality but come on !
Hope this get fixed soon.
I upgraded to Plus specifically for advanced and stranded voice chat. I’m pretty unhappy with the limitation and especially this bug. Ive submit a ticket to support, but no response.
Having the same issue as OP. Same symptoms. Voice is strange. Almost like an audio book narrator. Weird.
