SYMPTOMS

When you configure text-to-speech playback in Microsoft Call Manager to use the male voice, you may hear the female voice in audio playback.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Call Manager uses both text-to-speech playback and recorded sound playback to play spoken messages and prompts. When you change the voice selection in Call Manager, you only change the voice for text-to-speech playback. Call Manager uses text-to-speech playback to tell you information that can change, such as a contact name or phone number.

Call Manager uses recorded sound playback to tell you information that does not change, such as available options or prompts. Recorded sound playback uses recordings of a female voice.
