Hello-Lucy Module Microphone not working

[sdetweil]

@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)

@sdetweil

{
		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

[sdetweil]

@TheGeekfather right, it is using ‘default’, and I asked u to test if default worked

@sdetweil

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

@TheGeekfather said in Hello-Lucy Module Microphone not working:

having trouble with voice commands

ahmen… everyone has trouble…

so, did the arecord command work?

[TheGeekfather]

@sdetweil

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."

@TheGeekfather

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

@Linas123

Have you run arecord -l in the terminal? (that’s a lower case L)

Post your output from that command here.

My output:

pop@e8300:~$ arecord -l

Here is my micro output:

and my speaker (I use the screen speaker):

I have a USB Mic and I hope that’s not the problem, because I read a bit in this forum, that sometimes USB Micros have trouble with Hello-Lucy. 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.

I’m glad if you can help me:)
