Description

You can see that the path I put in is A:\voiceclone1.wav but the returned error adds a second backslash after the colon (A:\voiceclone1.wav) and then says the path is invalid.

"Of course it is! You are putting an extra backslash in... "

If I change the path to another folder, it continually seems to register 2 backslashes and always errors out. Nothing I am doing (changing drives, typing it in manually, copy pasting the file as a path) seems to work.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times.

Research direction

Start by reproducing voice training with the reported Windows path A:\voiceclone1.wav and trace where the training path is read and displayed. Compare the entered path with the path passed to training, then verify that a valid Windows path is accepted without an extra backslash.
