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 -l
in the terminal? (that’s a lower case L)Post your output from that command here.
My output:
pop@e8300:~$ arecord -l **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC221 Analog [ALC221 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 2: ALC221 Alt Analog [ALC221 Alt Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 pop@e8300:~$

@Mykle1
Here is my micro output:arecord -l **** Liste der Hardware-Geräte (CAPTURE) **** Karte 2: AK5371 [AK5371], Gerät 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Sub-Geräte: 0/1 Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0
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.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 should commit this file. npm WARN eslint-config-airbnb-base@11.3.2 requires a peer of eslint@^3.19.0 || ^4.5.0 but none is installed. 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.wav
in 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. Add several for a random greetings confirmationSound: "ding.mp3", // name and extension of sound file startHideAll: false, // All modules start as hidden EXCEPT PAGE ONE // *** Page One is your default startup page *** This overrides startHideAll: true, pageOneModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ], // default modules to show on page one/startup pageTwoModules: ["Hello-Lucy",], // modules to show on page two pageThreeModules: ["Hello-Lucy",], // modules to show on page three pageFourModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ], // modules to show on page four pageFiveModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ], // modules to show on page five pageSixModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ], // modules to show on page six pageSevenModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ], // modules to show on page seven pageEightModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ], // modules to show on page eight pageNineModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ], // modules to show on page nine pageTenModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ] // modules to show on page ten } },
I don’t know what else I can do.

You tried to run it? What was the result?
If you run
arecord test.wav
in a terminal window does it record a sound file? -
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:”.
