@sdetweil also weirdly enough

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ arecord -D hw:2,0 test.wav
Recording WAVE 'test.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
arecord: set_params:1339: Sample format non available

but

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ arecord  test.wav
arecord: main:828: audio open error: No such file or directory
pi@MagicMirror:~ $

[sdetweil]

@snikolaidis before we get to MM with lucy, arecord must work

arecord: set_params:1339: Sample format non available
Available formats:
- S16_LE

yes, it didn’t record cause it can’t do the default

arecord --format=S16-LE test.wav

@sdetweil said in Hello-Lucy:

if i specify the USB camera it works, if i leave it to defaults audio open error

[sdetweil]

@snikolaidis and aplay test.wav do you hear what you said?

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil >if i specify the USB camera it works,

ok, so, how do you update lucy to use the usb camera config ?

[snikolaidis]

@sdetweil
yes on both i hear what i said and changing the microphone line in config is all i’ve ever done to get it working, flash raspbian -> install MM and modules -> run arecord -l and change the mic config line to what my pi reflects

@sdetweil i specified the mic in ~.asoundrc so now arecord goes directly to the usb mic but still throws the format code, lucy still wont pick it up tho

pcm.!default {
  type asym
  playback.pcm {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "output"
  }
  capture.pcm "hw:2,0"
}

pcm.output {
  type hw
  card 1
}

ctl.!default {
  type hw
  card 1
}

[sdetweil]

mine is

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 1
}

so I would guess yours would be

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 2
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 1
}

@sdetweil yeah still not working with lucy even though arecord works, would it have anything to do with that i went beta with the pi4?

[sdetweil]
