synth v crashes when i switch to an ai voice?

i use synth v in ubuntu 20.04 in a virtual machine. every time i try to switch to an ai voicebank, it crashes even on an empty track. works fine with standard voices.
unfortunately i can’t find the log file (if there is one) to figure out what goes wrong, but does anyone have any ideas as to what’s happening and how to fix it?

Have you confirmed that the editor and voices are updated to the latest versions?

(open “License and Updates” panel on the right side and click “Check for Updates”)

i have, they’re all updated to the latest version

Locate where you installed SynthV - then run gdb -ex run -ex bt {/your/path/to/synthv-studio} in the terminal. At some points you will see the program hang itself - check the terminal to see if there is anything happen.

I’m also having trouble loading full AI voicebanks in SynthV - but not Lite voicebanks, strangely.

i’m not entirely sure what to do with the command, but when i pressed “c” when it prompted me to choose between 3 options (“type <RET> for more, q to quit, c to continue without paging”), i got this.

nothing else came after it. the program froze when i selected eleanor ai lite, so i’m not sure what else to do, as nothing else happened in the terminal.

sidenote: i use synth v basic and lite voicebanks only (yes i know im broke lmao), and you seem to be having issues with full, so i’m not entirely sure if our issues are the same.

This means either your CPU is old, or cannot support special CPU instructions set that AI voices need to function. From my experience 4th gen (or newer) Intel CPUs or the equivalent AMD ones are required for AI voices to work, anything older can cause illegal instruction error like this.

Also, you mentioned running SynthV with a virtual machine, so how about booting a live Ubuntu USB and try running SynthV from there? There is a small chance that your CPU is capable of using AI voices, but not in virtualization environment.

hmm, that’s probably it, my computer’s pretty old. i know that it used to work fine (as in, didn’t crash), so i think maybe it would work without a virtualization setting, but i’m a little scared i would mess up my actual computer if i were to load up a live usb. thank you for helping me figure this out though!
