SVOX Voice Is Not Supported?

I've been having some problems with the TTS apps, that they don't seem to be talking after the OS 6 update, so I checked the TTS output settings, and for the default language status it says

"English (United States, MICHAEL) is not supported"

I'm using the SVOX Michael voice, obviously.
Can someone translate this or help? I had no problem with lollipop, so Google or SVOX may have changed something to require ALL NEW VOICES?

thxZ

Even though the SVOX TTS is "not supported," it seems to work just as it did before! It must be one of those little technical things that not supported...

I have a solution for at least my own tablet.

I have a backup (make backups!) of the SVOX directory from when I was able to install the voices (before SVOX went AWOL) and all I have to do is to copy that folder to /emulated/0/svox.. The voices work just fine, but I cannot install any new voices. For example, the English Michael voice, needs these files:
mh5pt2en-US22en-US_ta.bin
mh5pt2en-US22_sg.bin
mh5pt2en-US22_sg_0.pil
mh5pt2en-US22_sg_1.pil
ppen-US0.pil
svox-mh5pt2en-US22.bin

Maybe we can coordinate with others that have the files needed, and enable more voices.
