# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Telegram auto-TTS voice replies defaulting to MP3 instead of OGG

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

One issue reports that the base platform adapter's auto-TTS reply defaults to .mp3 on Telegram, so no native voice bubble appears. The three pull requests each propose gateway changes, such as requesting OGG or passing an explicit .ogg output path, with one also covering platform-aware delivery and captions.
