MM won't run, blank screen with cursor showing after updating

[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

1

@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',

[jmartin1009]

@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

[jmartin1009]

@sdetweil so it should look like this?

{
		        module: 'MMM-voice',
		        position: 'upper_third',
		        config: {
		            microphone: '1,0',
		            keyword: 'Magic Mirror',
			    timeout: 15,
		        }
    		},

[sdetweil]

@jmartin1009 yes

mine looks like

    {
        module: 'MMM-voice',
        position: 'bottom_bar',
        config: {
              microphone: '1,0',
              keyword:        'MAGIC MIRROR',
              timeout:        15,
              debug: true,
              standByMethod: 'hide',
              startHidden: false
        }
    },
