Input sound dont work (Voice Control)

[terades]

The Problem is: i cant record sound with my USB soundcard microphone.

When i try:

rec test.wav

I only recive:

rec FAIL formats: can't open input  `default': snd_pcm_open error: No such file    or directory

And this works:

AUDIODEV=hw:0 rec test.wav trim 0 5

this is my sound debug

I recently had the same issue.
Check what values you have in your audio file (cat ~/.asoundrc)
For me they were all 0 and changing them to 1 fixed my issue.

@axellejamous actually it’s really well explain in the snowboy docs. Just scroll down to the asoundrc section and follow the steps!
