Can't Get Default Voicebank to Sing

So I like just got the program and I'm really confused.
I typed "o" in the lyric box and added it, I see it in the workspace.
I have it selected and everything too.
It won't make noise, though.
I've seen that I need to import the voicebank, but the import thing only takes .wav and the voicebank itself is a folder.

The default bank doesn't have romaji aliases. That is, notes that can be entered using normal letters. So, things like 'a', 'ka', and 'cho' won't work because the bank isn't aliased like that.

You'll have to add the Japanese keyboard to your computer, if you haven't done that already, and use hiragana ('あ', 'か', and 'ちょ') to insert notes with use of Defoko.

Importing voicebanks can either be installed from zip files by directly dropping them on the window itself (where it will self-extract and save a copy in its AppData directory) or copying the voicebank folder to the voice folder in the UTAU installation directory.

If something doesn't make sense or wasn't detailed enough, please ask.

So i tried to use romaji but when i put a letter in it just showed up as “?” And when i do get the voicebanks into the voice folder, i cant import them because i can only do wav files

Can you send a screenshot so I can see what exactly is happening?

Also, what do you mean you can only import wave files?

So I have Defoko and Kasane Teto english, and I can't use Defoko because UTAU refusing to recognize hiragana.

I think I added the keyboard, but how do I change my locale?

you have to reinstall UTAU
Ok, thanks. I'll get back to you on if it works
[doublepost=1529015420][/doublepost]It's still just ? marks -.-
[doublepost=1529016640][/doublepost]OK... so I got it to make noise, but I can only use あ.
[doublepost=1529016762][/doublepost]And I when I put あ in, it still says ?? but when I use the pencil to draw a bunch of notes, it immediately starts using it correctly...

Are you using the Japanese keyboard to enter lyrics or copy and pasting hiragana from online? I would check and see if it's just a problem with that (meaning it's probably not unicode or whatever) and not UTAU itself.

When you're typing, if you clicked where I circled, you should have two options for English and Japanese. Click Japanese.
Then to switch from romaji to hiragana/kanji click the [A] and you should see an あ there instead.

Ok thank chu, but I can't insert any of the characters as a note, it just empties the lyric text box.

(Im not sure if this is the issue youre having, but) When you type using the Japanese keyboard, you need to hit enter to confirm thats what you wanted to type. If you dont, the text can disappear.
