Suppress Starttone before Audio

[guny74]

Hello,

I do not know if this would be a problem of this node, but playing text or mp3 to my google nest mini , always a starttone appears before the actually audio.

How can iI suppress it ?

Thank you

[EDIT] it doesn't work anyway from external sources , as cromecast connection

I don't know if it can help but you can disable the tones before and after the messages from the google home app (
this applies to all messages)

Hello,

I also found the idea with the 1-second silence....but an short "plop" always appears....
Not nice...but may I get to like this or change to other solution (alexa or lokal MP3 player) for my smart home announcements.

Thanks you.
