@sean I’ll give it a try. How do I install something that isnt in the master branch?

UPDATE

[1.1.0] - 2018.10.04

MP3 Output is supported. Now you can get more unchunky sound result.(Set audio.encodingOut to MP3 // OGG is not yet supported.)
ding.wav will be played when Assistant is ready to hear your voice.
How to update from prior version

sudo apt-get install mpg321
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-AssistantMk2
git pull
npm install --save wav

@sean Thank You
Ding is working just fine. Thank You. A little annoying sound and I was thinking of replacing it with another sound file. What if I wanted google to say something instead of ding, can I give it text to say easily?

@teitlebot
change other wav file and rename it as ding.wav,
Anyway, if you mean Text-To-Speech, nope. (My prior had that functionality but I abandoned it) I don’t want to back again.

@teitlebot totally agree!

teitlebot

@sean ok. Can I ask why you abandoned it?

A Former User

@teitlebot
Complexity. And most TTS solutions ate not so good to hear. The best Google solution is not free.

teitlebot

@sean I see. I manually created a sound file and replaced it and it works fine, although a bit choppy.

@sean Next Question
Why doesnt google allow me to use the MM to play music. I can get it to play out of my google home mini in my kitchen using the MM but there doesnt seem a way to use the MM speaker to play. not even spotify.
Although youtube does work as you seem to have added that functionality.
