I got it working with a little help from the AlexaPi gitter.im group. Changing the output handler from vlc to sox was the answer I needed.
-
@lucallmon I was having the same issue. changed to sox and it worked once for me. now I also hear the hello and one time i was able to ask her a question…but now it almost seems like the mic stopped working…grrr

Yup the arecord does produce a wav file for me that i can playback. But Alexa doesn’t respond anymore…she did a few times…maybe i ticked her off now…lol

@cyberphox @johnnyboy These issues are definitely AlexaPi issues you are having. If your looking for help i would post on the Alexa-pi/alexapi github or talk on the gitter mentioned above. They will be able to help you for sure as I don’t know that much about the audio, mine just seemed to work for some reason

I’m sure it’s probably the PS Eye mic and the usb mic you have coming (that I ordered too) will work fine. For example, when I go into aslamixer and try to hit f6 to change to the Eye to increase the volume, it crashes with an invalid argument error…

@johnnyboy lol…the microphone icon is back now with a slash through it and I’m not even being greeted with a hello when the Pi boots now…off to the gitter maybe!
-
@cyberphox are you using any other sound modules? AlexaPi does not work with MMM-Voice. Found that out the hard way. I had to wipe my SD card and start over.
-
Nope. no other modules…it seems the AlexaPi service is not starting…getting an error…seriously may just use my Dot…if i did’t like that damn microphone icon so much
-
@cyberphox jump on the gitter.im site. I’ll try to help you out.
-
i’m probably gonna wait until my Kinobo USB mic arrives…i know that sound work as opposed to this PS Eye

Ironically, I decided to reinstall it last night before bed. I had edited yaml.config last time for the device type but this time i actually selected magic mirror. It started to work again. LOL. sound was a little choppy so i changed playback from vlc to sox. Mind you I haven’t gone out to check it yet this morning…hahah
-
@cyberphox hi! What do you mean when you say “I actually selected Magic Mirror”? Thanks!
-
@borrigan During Alexa-Pi setup you can choose a platform. Don’t pick
raspberrypi, usemagicmirrorregardless of where the software is running. -
@clumsy_ninja thank you! I think I found the config line and changed it to magicmirror. Still see nothing in Magic Mirror interface. I will keep testing. Still need to resolve microphone input problems :(

@clumsy_ninja Hey I just got this working tonight, and I’m having all sorts of fun with it. Thanks for this!
I’d like to know if it’s possible to get this to directly control the MagicMirror (similar to MirrorMirrorOnTheWallSkill – is it possible to use this skill?). It’s great that I can control things like my lights and such, but I would also like to tell my Mirror who is looking at the mirror (e.g. as a fall back when Facial Recognition doesn’t work), or explicitly show/hide modules by name. Is this possible?
Would also be amazing if this could receive a notice from the Facial Recognition app to speak out the recognized user (e.g.: “Good Morning, Jeff! Here’s your view.”)
