Minimax H3 ref2va voice reference failing for StableDiffusion users

Users are reporting issues with the reference voice functionality in the Minimax H3 ref2va workflow, specifically within the StableDiffusion community. The primary problem is that the reference audio is not being used to dictate the character's voice, resulting in random or unrelated voices being used instead. This issue persists even after extensive troubleshooting, including rewriting prompts, adjusting workflows, and attempting to match audio parameters. The only workaround found is to use the exact same audio for both the reference and the character's dialogue, which defeats the purpose of voice reference. AI

IMPACT This bug hinders the use of custom voices in AI-generated content, limiting creative control for users.
