”mist and mistv2 models require —format mp3”

The Mist models only support MP3 output. Add the -f mp3 flag: 
rime tts "Hello" -s cove -m mistv2 -f mp3

​
No audio playback

  • Check your system audio output settings
  • Try saving to a file instead: rime tts "Hello" -s astra -m arcana -o output.wav
  • Headless builds (e.g., Docker) require -o FILE since playback is disabled

​
”command not found: rime”
