UNSOLVED Hello-Lucy Module Microphone not working

TheGeekfather

I am trying to get Hello-Lucy/Voice to work with my usb soundcard and microphone. I can record outside of MagicMirror so that works but I have this problem when Hello-Lucy module loads.:

“displays mic flashing symbol and just says initialising and “undefined” underneath microphone icon”

I have tried following the documentation but still no luck

Anyone get Hello-Lucy to work?

@TheGeekfather use lsusb and arecord -l to get the device id for the config

“displays mic flashing symbol and just says initialising and “undefined” underneath microphone icon”

but that is ok… if u speak does it change to Voice?

the config should say microphone: “plughw:1,0”

right?

@sdetweil

Hi Sam, is that the config.txt in boot?

sdetweil

@TheGeekfather no… in the MagicMirror/config/config.js for the HelloLucy module config section

it is set to

microphone: “default”,

in the code…

if u do arecord test.wav
does it work? (this uses the default)

@sdetweil

{
		disabled: false,
		module: "Hello-Lucy",
		position: "bottom_left",
		config: {
  			keyword: 'HELLO LUCY',               // MUST BE CAPITALS to make Lucy start listening
  			timeout: 15,                        // timeout listening for a command/sentence
  			defaultOnStartup: 'Hello-Lucy',
  			standByMethod: 'DPMS',              // 'DPMS' = anything else than RPi or 'PI'
  			sounds: ["1.mp3", "11.mp3"],        // welcome sound at startup. Add several for a random choice of welcome sound
  			confirmationSound: "ding.mp3",

This is my config for Lucy

sdetweil

@TheGeekfather right, it is using ‘default’, and I asked u to test if default worked

@sdetweil

It works outside of MagicMirror

Not sure where I put in Microphone id or microphone default

Retired teacher still trying to learn. Got lots of the modules working but having trouble with voice commands
