Piper Engine "Unexpected WAV Properties: Channels=1, Rate=22050, Width=2"

[EyuphanMandiraci]

Hello, i am trying to use PiperEngine
`
voice = PiperVoice(r"C:\Users\mandi\PycharmProjects\JarvisProject2.0\en_GB-alan-medium.onnx", r"C:\Users\mandi\PycharmProjects\JarvisProject2.0\en_GB-alan-medium.onnx.json")

engine = PiperEngine(r"C:\Users\mandi\Documents\piper\piper.exe", voice=voice)

stream = TextToAudioStream(engine)

stream.feed(runPrompt(prompt))

stream.play_async()
`

but it returns error

`
Unexpected WAV properties: Channels=1, Rate=22050, Width=2

WARNING:root:engine piper failed to synthesize sentence "They lived happily ever after, with only the most necessary luxuries.", unknown error

WARNING:root:engine piper is the only engine available, can't switch to another engine

#244

I'm still new to piper and wasn't aware of other models than 16000 Hz. For now please:

• open RealtimeTTS/engines/piper_engine.py
• change line 77 from

 return pyaudio.paInt16, 1, 16000

 return pyaudio.paInt16, 1, 22050

• remove lines 127-132:

    if wf.getnchannels() != 1 or wf.getframerate() != 16000 or wf.getsampwidth() != 2:
		print(f"Unexpected WAV properties: "
			f"Channels={wf.getnchannels()}, "
			f"Rate={wf.getframerate()}, "
			f"Width={wf.getsampwidth()}")
		return False

Need to make this customizable / work on the PR
