Hi,
I bought USB 3D sound card adapter since my Pi3 hasn’t Mic port and than i connected my jack 3.5 Microphone to it .
If you have another USB HD camera with built-ed Mic you have to disable it since it will not work properly with your speech recognition software. I faced recently with this problem. I couldn’t configure it.
If you have USB HD camera with built-ed Mic please let me know and i show you how to disable it.

I think it could be related with permission of account.
As I know, Alexa Pi is running with Deamon mode, it means, the account of Alexa Pi is different with your personal account which you had tested audio with.(maybe pulse audio)
I have no idea how to solve because I’m not an expert, but most of the cases seem to be related to that point in using Alexa Pi. -
This is printscreen of my settings and error…

I’m not an expert, but Only I can say is…- The error message caused by sound configuration fail.
- AlexaPi cannot understand your device “plughw:…” currently.
- I think it is related to alexapi daemon account and your personal account settings.
- https://github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPi/wiki/Audio-setup-&-debugging This could be helpful.
Anyway, this is not realted with MagicMirror. You’d better get help from AlexaPi develpers or users on gitHub(or wiki)

Since i installed 3D sound card(external USB card with speaker and Mic) i disabled other internal HD web camera’s Microphone which came with my Touch Screen monitor. I used usual 3.5 mm jack mic.
1. Go to- -> sudo nano /lib/modprobe.d/aliases.conf
##options snd-pcsp index=-2 - This is my USB Mic which is came with internal HD camera on my monitor.
options snd-usb-audio index=-2
options cx88_alsa index=-2
options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2
options snd-intel8x0m index=-22. Go to --> sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf and added below command
blacklist snd_bcm2835Above “snd_bcm2835” is my internal sound card
That’s all.

Hi, I am confused on a matter. I have everything in the Alexa service set up and running but I have to scream in the mic to actually hear Alexa say “Yes?”. Does anyone know how I could fix this other than using the alsamixer tool? I go to alsamixer, select my usb mic pnp device, go to capture, raise it to 100, then esc out. Please help me…
