I just figured out how to use tts with VRchat and I saw quite a lot of people are having trouble setting it up so I thought I'd share.

First, you'll need to install Clownfish and Virtual Cable.

FYI I am using Windows 10.

1) Go to "Sound" - do this by right-clicking the speaker icon on the windows toolbar
10
11
2) Select "Playback" - on the list you'll see CABLE INPUT, right-click and set as "default communication device"

13
3) Select "Recording" - locate CABLE OUTPUT on the list, right-click and set as "default device"

4) Now go to Clownfish by double-clicking the desktop shortcut you've just created.

17
5) Select "Set up" from the menu, make sure Cable-output is installed. If you have your Microphone on the list, click the "remove" button.

6) Double-click Clownfish again, select "Set Voice Changer" and press the "Clear effect" button. (I found out that if you don't do this, it'll mess up the TTS output)

6) Open VRchat, don't go full-screen. Bring up the menu with ESC and click "System", make sure the Microphone is set to Cable output.

23
7) In order to use TTS, you'll have to select "Voice Assistant" from the Clownfish menu. 
24
25
8) Now you have both the VRchat and Voice Assistant windows open. Whenever you want to use TTS, press alt + tab to alternate between the windows. Type in what you want to say in Voice Assistant and hit the "Read text" button. 
26
And there you have it.
