Hello-Lucy Module Microphone not working

[Linas123]

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:”.

OK, the module is loading. That’s good.

If you run arecord test.wav in a terminal window does it record a sound file?

No it doesn’t work , there is yet the error “arecord: main:828:…”. I just noticed that my USB micro is now suddenly displayed as card 1. I change yet my /.asoundrc file again. Do I have to download the module again?

Thank you for you fast replays.

@Linas123

arecord test.wav MUST work for Lucy to work.

If you can get that to work then run arecord -l again to get your card and device numbers,

Then enter those in the microphone config entry and run MM again

@Mykle1

You do NOT have to download the module again

It’s still the same as earlier. At the top is still the crossed-out green flashing microphone.

@Linas123

Did you get arecord test.wav to record a sound file?

I just noticed that my USB micro is now suddenly displayed as card 1.

I’m confused. Is it still reporting card 1?

Did you make the changes to your config microphone option?

How long are you waiting before quitting MM when you see thecrossed-out green flashing microphone?

@Mykle1

I’am confused too. It’s still card 1, when I enter “arecord -l”. When the Magic Mirror runs in the background and I enter “arecord test.wav” the Error “arecord: main:828: audio open error: Device or resource busy” appears. But, when I stop the Magic Mirror with pm2, record works. After reboot the Magic Mirror is yet on the top a micro icon and "Ready, “Hello Lucy”. But when I try to ask she, nothing happens. To you have a answer for this?

and you say
‘Hello Lucy’

right?

@sdetweil
Yes, of course. I tried it again. I shouted into the microphone, although “ERROR” was displayed and Lucy reacted. But when I tried to hide the news, it took a very long time. When I tried to continue, Lucy reacted once out of 10 and in between she always showed ERROR. Can I do something that she understand me better and that the delay is not so long.
