        install audacity and give a quick test to your mic.
        you will know if you mic is dead

        sudo apt-get install audacity

            Hi @ejay-ibm

            I managed to get assistantmk2 and hotword working and everything is fine. However I will be grateful if you could please help me with the following queries:

            1). When i say jarvis or smart mirror, the assistantmk2 module takes 1 to 2 seconds to respond i.e. the ding bell I mean after which I can ask any question. How can I remove this lag and make it instant? I have seen other people dont have this issue.

            2). How do I get the assistantmk2 to play youtube videos on my mirror by asking it to play something from youtube?

            3). Finally can I change the hotword from “jarvis” to say “ok google”?

            Thanks.

            This is my config:

            {
                module: "MMM-AssistantMk2",
                position: "top_right",
                config: {
                  deviceLocation: {
                                    coordinates: { // set the latitude and longitude of the device to get localized information like weather or time. (ref. mygeoposition.com)
                                    latitude: 51.597442, // -90.0 - +90.0
                                    longitude: -0.338839, // -180.0 - +180.0
                      }
                    },
                  record: {
                    recordProgram : "arecord",
                    device        : "default",
                  },
                  play: { // Full values are in `FOR EXPERTS` section.
                          playProgram: "mpg321", // recommended.
                  },
                  notifications: {
                    ASSISTANT_ACTIVATED: "HOTWORD_PAUSE",
                    ASSISTANT_DEACTIVATED: "HOTWORD_RESUME",
                  },
                }
              },
              {
                module: "MMM-Hotword",
                config: {
                  record: {
                    recordProgram : "arecord",
                    device        : "default",
                  },
                  autostart:true,
                  onDetected: {
                    notification: function (payload) {
                      return "ASSISTANT_ACTIVATE"
                    },
                    payload: function (payload){
                      return {
                        profile: payload.hotword
                      }
                    }
                  },
                },
              },
            

            Also you have notifications in your config, what is it for? can you please explain? thanks.

              Hi,

              1- I would say first to check you CPU charge first , the delay might be due to the load.
              2- just say " Jarvis" … " Micheal jackson smooth criminal" it will play the youtube video clip
              3- if you want to say " ok google" you have to add your own umdl or umdp file.

              Info and new umd* file can be found and created here :
              https://snowboy.kitt.ai/

              hope this help .

              Ejay

                  The notification allows to the hotword module to receive instruction from the assistant module by notification to pause or resume itself in the right time.
                  When assistant 'talk it pause the hotword detection
                  ASSISTANT_ACTIVATED: “HOTWORD_PAUSE”,
                  When the assistant is done it restart the hotword detection .
                  ASSISTANT_DEACTIVATED: “HOTWORD_RESUME”,

                    The hotword module should be called outside the assistant module
                    Add the brackets correctly and change and change device to plughw : 1;

                        @sdetweil @ejay-ibm well i got a new mic and i tried it out, still no detection for MMM-Hotword. It works for GoogleAssistantMk2 when i click the button on the screen, but no hotword detection. I worried that it may be because of snowboy failing to install properly the first time for some reason, so i went into the module in the console and did npm install and got this:

                        pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword $ npm install
                        npm WARN deprecated hoek@2.16.3: This version is no longer maintained. Please upgrade to the latest version.

                        any idea how i can fix this?
