@richland007 can you check the following to see if another program can access the mic https://scribles.net/voice-recording-on-raspberry-pi/

Is there already another Programm running in the background which is accessing the mic?

@strawberry-3-141 Hello there,
I tested the mics following the steps on the above site and my microphone works just fine no errors the audio is good coming from the speakers and clear i do get a warning that does not affect anything that says:
“Warning: rate is not accurate (requested = 44100Hz, got = 48000Hz)
please, try the plug plugin”
but it does not affect the audio or the command actually when i try another mic it does not give me that error at all however the audio is not nearly as good.
So to recap the mic works it records a test file and gives no errors.

@richland007 it looks like it is a problem between alsa and pulseaudio https://sourceforge.net/p/cmusphinx/discussion/help/thread/c39732a2/

@strawberry-3-141 I know i have ALSA on my system but i don’t recall ever having to install Pulseaudio on my system. Is it required by this module? pulse audio that is …can i install it??

@richland007 I’m sorry I can’t really tell you something other than what I find googling myself, I never experienced sth similar other than couldn’t open device resource is busy.

@strawberry-3-141 Well i tried to install PulseAudio and use that instead of straight ALSA and configured it right according to the settings i found , i also removed and installed again MMM-voice but still the same error persists.
I tired every which way to tweak it as much as i could to make it work, for what i know cause i am no expert, but still no luck.
What can i do other than a fresh Rpi install that i dont want to do cause i have so many modules installed already??

Hey guys,
first of all thank u so much for creating this module @strawberry-3-141 i love it!
and @Mykle1 thanks for the solution it works perfect for me with

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib

I wasted a half year ago a couple of weeks with this module because it does not work for me, till now!
Yesterday i’ve reinstalled the Whole MM on a fresh Raspbian system and read all the comments here.

But there is one question still alive, i am in struggle with the commands i am not sure if i say it right.

MAGIC MIRROR -> VOICE = (going to Voice Mode)
(VOICE flashing) -> HIDE MODULES, SHOW MODULES, GOING TO SLEEP, WAKE UP

That works fine.

But what should i do if (VOICE) don’t flashing?
and are there different modes instead of VOICE?
oh and last but not least if i say (in flashing voice mode) Open Help or Close Help nothing happens :/

Hi everyone!
MMM-voice does not understand what I say!
For example:

If I say “OPEN HELP” it understands “OPEN OF OF” or “OPEN THE”
If I say “MAGIC MIRROR” he understands “MAGIC TO”

I think nobody has had these problems … correct?

I’m starting to think that the problem is the quality of the microphone.
I bought this microphone Microphone-Raspberry-Recognition.

I have recording a test and I hear a background noise…
Can someone recommend a good microphone?

Thank you all.

Egnos

No advice for the purchase?

Thanks
