- The headphone jack works on the Show 5 1st gen. With headphones in, sound goes to them and the speaker goes quiet; unplug them and the speaker comes back. A new Audio output setting, on the Show under Settings, Sound, on the setup page and in Home Assistant, chooses Automatic, Speaker, Headphones, or Speaker and headphones to play both at once (one volume for both). The jack is for headphones or a powered speaker; the 2nd gen Show 5 has none. Thanks for asking, tUDy-or-else. (#76)
- Speaking voice on the Show. Where the Show talks to its own speech server rather than Home Assistant, Settings, Sound has a Speaking voice row that lists the voices that server has, in the Show's language. Server default is the first choice. Under Home Assistant the voice is still set in Home Assistant.
- The wake word over music. The echo canceller learns more slowly, so a voice over loud music survives it: in recordings with the voice 10 dB under the music it caught twice as many wake words. Tried at normal listening volumes; near full volume still misses some.
- The clock sets after a power cut even when one time server is down. The Show asks several servers instead of one pool member, starts over while the clock is still years behind, and keeps the hardware clock in UTC, so a warm reboot no longer starts hours off. Thanks, oni0n. (#77)
- No dropout when the output switches between the speaker and the jack, and a speech server that misbehaves can no longer make the Show hold large amounts of memory.
- Docs: Show 5 2nd gen units with a TAS5805M amplifier, and units still on the amonet 1.x unlock. Thanks, oni0n. (#79)
