Bugreport: "VS Code Speech" Extension Crashes on Activation

2. Start a keyword-recognition session.
3. Say the keyword "Hey Code".
4. The speech-to-text session starts and then crashes with an error code 0x8 (SPXERR_FILE_OPEN_FAILED).

Hello dear development team,

Does it work when the language is english and not german in settings?

[fussbanana]

No, that makes no difference. I have tried all sorts of variations. It's probably not because of the German language package.
