        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."

            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
            **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
            card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC221 Analog [ALC221 Analog]

              Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

              Here is my micro output:

              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 WARN deprecated circular-json@0.3.3: CircularJSON is in maintenance only, flatted is its successor.
              npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.

              npm WARN acorn-jsx@5.2.0 requires a peer of acorn@^6.0.0 || ^7.0.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
              

              I’m glad if you can help me:)

                I don’t think it’s npm. Those are just warnings and won’t affect the module.

                USB microphone will work but it does introduce some latency.

                If you run arecord test.wav in a terminal window does it record a sound file?

                So, based on the info you gave me your config entry for the microphone should be

                microphone: "2,0",

                Please try that

                Then post your entire Hello-Lucy config entry so I can see it

                      }
                  },
                  

                  I don’t know what else I can do.

                    You tried to run it? What was the result?

                    If you run arecord test.wav in a terminal window does it record a sound file?

                      Your config entry is fine. I just tried it with my microphone setting and it works fine
