Error when using "say" command

Question

Hi guys,

VERY new here, but as i signed up i wanted to ask a quick question.

When using the say command in terminal today i noticed an error pop up in the two following lines saying;

MTBEAudioUnitSoundOutput::PropagateProperty Error -10851

The sound still played for the command, but i wondered if this error was important or something needed to be done.

I have tried looking elsewhere online to find an ansswer but can't find any information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Are you using the stock voices, or something else? In general, I'd keep to the stock voices with say.

As a test, see if the following works:

say -v Alex "Testing"

Any anti-malware or anti-virus tools installed?
