Calibre 6.11 : Read aloud feature is working, but only the English US female voice is proposed.
I installed Calibre 6.12 in the hope that French language will be supported.

That error indicates your system is not returning an available ausio
device. You might get more information if you run the viewer as
calibre-debug -w file.epub
in a command prompt and post the output after starting read aloud.
