@rguardaya2008 arecord -l

arecord -D plughw:card#:0 test.wav
speak some words
ctrl-c to end record
aplay test.wav, do you hear your words?

but if the mic is bad, nothing software can do to fix it…

@sdetweil thank you for guiding me so far… i was able to record and play using the codes you gave me, the mic seems to be fine. however, still i cannot open alexa on my MM. what did i miss?

[sdetweil]

@rguardaya2008 sorry. I do not know.

So i’m at the point in the set pu where it’s saying “Getting response from Amazon…”, but it’s been going for like 30 mins. Any ideas on how long this should take, or did i probably make a mistake above?

[sdetweil]

@stalker401 should be fairly instant.

@sdetweil Thanks, i’m not sure what i did wrong, but it helps to know that it should be quick

hey guys, i have a problem with this module and i’d really be glad if someone could help me with it …
I tried to install this module in my raspberry pi 4 (Awesome Alexa) … after i installed it and all … after i finished i tried it … and said: Alexa hide all (to hide the modules… for privacy and save power) it hided all the modules (including this module) but then i wanted to say: Alexa show modules (to show them again) but it didn’t respond to me … i had to restart the magic mirror … so what should i do after i hide the modules how can i show them again without restarting the magic mirror ? And how can i make Alexa hide particular modules but not all of them and if it’s possible, how can i make a custom responds (for example when i say: Alexa do you love me? … she responds to me with: yes my love 😅)

@cq0q the author is no longer here and the module has not been updated in quite a while.
