Dialogue state tracking plays a crucial role in extracting information in task-oriented dialogue systems. However, preceding research are limited to textual modalities, primarily due to the shortage of authentic human audio datasets. We address this by investigating synthetic audio data for audio-based DST. To this end, we develop cascading and end-to-end models, train them with our synthetic audio dataset, and test them on actual human speech data. To facilitate evaluation tailored to audio modalities, we introduce a novel PhonemeF1 to capture pronunciation similarity. Experimental results showed that models trained solely on synthetic datasets can generalize their performance to human voice data. By eliminating the dependency on human speech data collection, these insights pave the way for significant practical advancements in audio-based DST.
