AlexaPI and MagigMirror at same raspberry

[j.e.f.f]

@ezarlive my experience with using AlexaPi with a webcam was dismal. Are you also using the webcam for facial recognition? If so I think the video capture saturates the USB connection and leaves little left over for the microphone. I switched to using the Pi camera connected to the CSI header and a standalone USB microphone and my results are much better.

I test using mic usb but doesn’t works too.

@ezarlive Have you verified recording is working? If not, try this:

It helped me get my microphone working.

Hope this helps!

Do you really need alexapi? I use the code which was made available by amazon. [https://github.com/alexa/alexa-avs-sample-app](link url)
Unless you need a specific alexapi module on MM2 you could try this one.

@j.e.f.f thanks! arecord test.wav and aplay test.wav works fine.
I install pulse too, but still not detect Alexa trigger…
