Conversation Error: { Error: 14 UNAVAILABLE: Service unavailable.

[FLOW THE NOOB]

I have a problem when I start the magic mirror. Everything seems to boot as it should but the google assistant does not listen to me. So I press the widget to start it manually but doesn’t listen either.

Here you can see the part of the log where it gets errors:

Remove useWelcomeMessage. It needs more complex configuration. If you don’t need it really, just remove from config.js

Still doesn’t work. It shouldn’t be a mic problem because it gets detected and I can record myself.

Getting this log:

I solved it!!. The assistant mk2 module now hears to my mic! and answers!

[09succotash]

@FLOW-THE-NOOB How did you solve it? Im having the same issue, please tell me.

[FLOW THE NOOB]

@09succotash Go to your desktop. Right click on the volume icon. Choose your recording and playback devices. Adjust their volumes to max in audio device settings.

[09succotash]

Oh, ok. That makes sense.

Hi. I have the same problem, the only difference is that I have the speakers for HDMI. Any solution?

[FLOW THE NOOB]

@juantata

Putting sound through hdmi didn’t work for me neither. Only USB and headphone jack worked for me for speakers. The mic has to be a usb one though.
