FFmpeg

Local audio format conversion. Required by several TTS / STT services.

FFmpeg provides local audio format conversion. Several TTS and STT services rely on it to convert between their internal audio formats and what Voxta's playback / capture pipeline expects.

Marked Required in the registry — installed automatically. You don't normally configure it.

On Linux, you may need to install ffmpeg system-wide and provide its path via ffmpeg.config.json at the Voxta root. See Install Voxta Server → Linux for the snippet.

Troubleshooting

If you see "ffmpeg not found" or audio conversion errors in the Terminal:

  • On Windows, the FFmpeg module ships ffmpeg with Voxta. The error usually means a file got moved or quarantined by antivirus.
  • On Linux, install ffmpeg via your package manager (sudo apt install ffmpeg) and check the BinaryFolder setting in ffmpeg.config.json.
