Vocalized audio synthesis, the task of generating audio in which intelligible speech is embedded within an environmental soundscape, underpins applications such as podcast production and video dubbing. Existing Text-to-Audio (T2A) systems either reduce quoted speech to unintelligible vocal murmur or delegate it to a separate TTS model with post-hoc mixing, which forfeits control over when speech occurs and how it interacts with the scene. We present VoxAudio, a causal autoregressive flow matching model that addresses this problem from three complementary aspects. At the architecture level, chunk-wise causal factorization with independent per-chunk noise levels lets audio be emitted through sliding-window streaming inference with KV caching at variable target durations; to enable inference at arbitrary chunk granularities, we further pretrain the model with randomized chunk boundaries. At the preference level, multi-reward Negative-aware FineTuning (NFT) jointly optimizes semantic fidelity, linguistic accuracy, aesthetic quality, and temporal grounding At the data level, to supply the missing supervision for vocal content, we build VoxCorpus, a large-scale corpus whose captions quote the verbatim transcript of embedded speech with time intervals, and VoxBench, an interval-annotated benchmark with a temporal-grounding metric. Experiments on four benchmarks spanning general audio, speech, and unified vocalized audio validate the effectiveness and efficiency of VoxAudio.
