@jmartin1009 said in MM won't run, blank screen with cursor showing after updating:
it says

run npm audit fix to fix them

many times you cannot fix them all… so, after one try, ignore it

jmartin1009

@sdetweil Okay! Do you know anything about MM-voice? having issues with that for some reason and i can’t figure out why.

sdetweil

@jmartin1009 yes, what troubles? i have it installed on one of my MagicMirror systems…

jmartin1009

@sdetweil I have it installed but when i run MM, the little microphone says initializing, then ERROR. I used debug: true, and the file said

sdetweil

@jmartin1009 ok. usually this is the device name of the mic…

run

arecord -l

to get the list of mic devices

make sure that is in the MMM-Voice config, mine is

       config: {
              microphone: '1,0',

@sdetweil

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ arecord -l
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 1: Snowball [Blue Snowball], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

does this mean it is 1 or 1,0?

sdetweil

@jmartin1009

card 1
device 0

1,0

you can also test the mic with

arecord -D hw:1,0 test.wav

ctrl-break , ctrl-c, or ctrl-z after saying something

then

aplay test.wav

to hear the recorded voice back

@sdetweil should i change it in MM’s config file? or MM-voice’s file:MM-voice.js? and if the second, where?

sdetweil

@jmartin1009 never change anything in the module folder, only the config.js for magic mirror
