Hello-Lucy using Adafruit Voice Bonnet

Let me start by saying I really appreciate your help with this. You’ve given me a lot of your time, and clearly I couldn’t have made any progress without you. Thank you.

Running your fixupppm2 script fixes the microphone on a restart, but then there is no speaker output. If I stop MM, then manually restart it with npm start, the mic and speaker work fine, as before the fixup.

@sinbad339 that makes no sense to me.
could u start it w pm2, and then ps -ef >somefile.txt

and email me thevfile some file.txt

same userid as here at gmail.

I want to see if there is some permissions problem

oh, check the file contents to make sure no userid or password is exposed. shouldn’t be but u never know.

Just sent it…

Just sent two additional files; one where the speaker worked, and one where it didn’t. As I explained in the email, this is an intermittent issue and it doesn’t matter how MM is started.

Well, I gave up on the Adafruit Voice Bonnet, and instead installed a USB microphone with output (Samson GoMic). Now, mic and speakers work every time whether MM/Hello-Lucy starts up automatically at boot, or if I start it using npm start.

I’ll probably mark it resolved, even thought the fundamental issue is not.

A BIG thanks to @sdetweil for all of his patience and help.
