Hello-Lucy Module Microphone not working
-
I am trying to get Hello-Lucy/Voice to work with my usb soundcard and microphone. I can record outside of MagicMirror so that works but I have this problem when Hello-Lucy module loads.:
“displays mic flashing symbol and just says initialising and “undefined” underneath microphone icon”
I have tried following the documentation but still no luck
Anyone get Hello-Lucy to work?
-
@TheGeekfather use lsusb and arecord -l to get the device id for the config

@TheGeekfather said in Hello-Lucy Module Microphone not working:
“displays mic flashing symbol and just says initialising and “undefined” underneath microphone icon”
but that is ok… if u speak does it change to Voice?
the config should say microphone: “plughw:1,0”
right?
-
Hi Sam, is that the config.txt in boot?
-
@TheGeekfather no… in the MagicMirror/config/config.js for the HelloLucy module config section
it is set to
microphone: “default”,
in the code…
if u do arecord test.wav
does it work? (this uses the default) -
{ disabled: false, module: "Hello-Lucy", position: "bottom_left", config: { keyword: 'HELLO LUCY', // MUST BE CAPITALS to make Lucy start listening timeout: 15, // timeout listening for a command/sentence defaultOnStartup: 'Hello-Lucy', standByMethod: 'DPMS', // 'DPMS' = anything else than RPi or 'PI' sounds: ["1.mp3", "11.mp3"], // welcome sound at startup. Add several for a random choice of welcome sound confirmationSound: "ding.mp3",This is my config for Lucy
-
@TheGeekfather right, it is using ‘default’, and I asked u to test if default worked
-
It works outside of MagicMirror
Not sure where I put in Microphone id or microphone default
Retired teacher still trying to learn. Got lots of the modules working but having trouble with voice commands
:)

ahmen… everyone has trouble…
so, did the arecord command work?
-
arecord works in terminal. when Lucy module loads - under mic icon it says “undefined”

Hi Sam
Looks like the problem is with the install
"My apologies, gentlemen. There is a problem with the mic upon install that seems to be specific to the Pi. @cowboysdude did an install late last night and he encountered the same issue, so forgive me. I am looking at it right now and will not sleep until it is resolved. Not!
Seriously, it will be fixed ASAP.
Thank you for your patience and interest."

I have the same problem. Do you have the solution for this issue? Pleas, let me now.

Have you run
arecord -lin the terminal? (that’s a lower case L)Post your output from that command here.
My output:

I also changed my /.asoundrc file so that the speaker and microphone worked as they should. In the tests everything still worked. Here is my /.asoundrc file:
pcm.!default { type asym playback.pcm { type plug slave.pcm "hw:0,1" } capture.pcm { type plug slave.pcm "hw:2,0" } }Maybe It’s a npm problem, because at the end of the installation of the module these npm warnings came:
Note: First I make the sound configuration and only after that I install the module.npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142 npm WARN deprecated browserslist@1.7.7: Browserslist 2 could fail on reading Browserslist >3.0 config used in other tools. npm WARN deprecated circular-json@0.3.3: CircularJSON is in maintenance only, flatted is its successor. npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json.

You must install peer dependencies yourself. npm WARN acorn-jsx@5.2.0 requires a peer of acorn@^6.0.0 || ^7.0.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.I’m glad if you can help me:)

I don’t think it’s npm. Those are just warnings and won’t affect the module.
USB microphone will work but it does introduce some latency.
If you run
arecord test.wavin a terminal window does it record a sound file?So, based on the info you gave me your config entry for the microphone should be
microphone: "2,0",Please try that
Then post your entire Hello-Lucy config entry so I can see it
-
{ disabled: false, module: "Hello-Lucy", position: "top_center", config: { keyword: 'HELLO LUCY', // keyword to activate listening for a command/sentence timeout: 15, // timeout listening for a command/sentence standByMethod: 'DPMS', // 'DPMS' = anything else than RPi or 'PI' microphone: "2,0", // run "arecord -l" card # and device # mine is "0,0" sounds: ["1.mp3", "11.mp3"], // welcome sound at startup.

You tried to run it? What was the result?
If you run

Your config entry is fine. I just tried it with my microphone setting and it works fine
-
Yes I tried it to run, but lucy say only “Hello Michael, what would you like to see” and on the top of the Mirror is a crossed-out green flashing microphone and “Command Please:”.
