      @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)

        {
        		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

            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

            :)

              ahmen… everyone has trouble…

              so, did the arecord command work?

                arecord works in terminal. when Lucy module loads - under mic icon it says “undefined”

                  Hi Sam

                  Looks like the problem is with the install

                  "My apologies, gentlemen. There is a problem with the mic upon install that seems to be specific to the Pi. @cowboysdude did an install late last night and he encountered the same issue, so forgive me. I am looking at it right now and will not sleep until it is resolved. Not!

                  Seriously, it will be fixed ASAP.

                  Thank you for your patience and interest."

                    I have the same problem. Do you have the solution for this issue? Pleas, let me now.

                      Have you run arecord -l in the terminal? (that’s a lower case L)

                      Post your output from that command here.

                      My output:

                      pop@e8300:~$ arecord -l

                        Here is my micro output:

                         arecord -l

                        I have a USB Mic and I hope that’s not the problem, because I read a bit in this forum, that sometimes USB Micros have trouble with Hello-Lucy. I also changed my /.asoundrc file so that the speaker and microphone worked as they should. In the tests everything still worked. Here is my /.asoundrc file:

                        pcm.!default {
                          type asym
                           playback.pcm {
                             type plug
                             slave.pcm "hw:0,1"
                           }
                           capture.pcm {
                             type plug
                             slave.pcm "hw:2,0"
                           }
                        }
                        

                        Maybe It’s a npm problem, because at the end of the installation of the module these npm warnings came:
                        Note: First I make the sound configuration and only after that I install the module.

                        npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142
                        npm WARN deprecated browserslist@1.7.7: Browserslist 2 could fail on reading Browserslist >3.0 config used in other tools.

                        npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.

                        I’m glad if you can help me:)
