Hello-Lucy Module Microphone not working

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

{
disabled: false,
module: "Hello-Lucy",
position: "top_center",
config: {
    keyword: 'HELLO LUCY',              // keyword to activate listening for a command/sentence
    timeout: 15,                        // timeout listening for a command/sentence
    standByMethod: 'DPMS',              // 'DPMS' = anything else than RPi or 'PI'
    microphone: "2,0",                  // run "arecord -l" card # and device # mine is "0,0"
    sounds: ["1.mp3", "11.mp3"],        // welcome sound at startup. Add several for a random greetings
    confirmationSound: "ding.mp3",      // name and extension of sound file
    startHideAll: false,                 // All modules start as hidden EXCEPT PAGE ONE
    // *** Page One is your default startup page *** This overrides startHideAll: true,
    pageOneModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ],                     // default modules to show on page one/startup
    pageTwoModules: ["Hello-Lucy",], // modules to show on page two
    pageThreeModules: ["Hello-Lucy",],                 // modules to show on page three
    pageFourModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ],                  // modules to show on page four
    pageFiveModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ],               // modules to show on page five
    pageSixModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ],                      // modules to show on page six
    pageSevenModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ],                   // modules to show on page seven
    pageEightModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ],                   // modules to show on page eight
    pageNineModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ],                   // modules to show on page nine
    pageTenModules: ["Hello-Lucy", ]             // modules to show on page ten
    }
},

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?

@Linas123

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

Linas123

Yes I tried it to run, but lucy say only “Hello Michael, what would you like to see” and on the top of the Mirror is a crossed-out green flashing microphone and “Command Please:”.

OK, the module is loading. That’s good.

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

@Mykle1 said in Hello-Lucy Module Microphone not working:

arecord test.wav

No it doesn’t work , there is yet the error “arecord: main:828:…”. I just noticed that my USB micro is now suddenly displayed as card 1. I change yet my /.asoundrc file again. Do I have to download the module again?

Thank you for you fast replays.

@Linas123

arecord test.wav MUST work for Lucy to work.

If you can get that to work then run arecord -l again to get your card and device numbers,

Then enter those in the microphone config entry and run MM again

@Mykle1

You do NOT have to download the module again

It’s still the same as earlier. At the top is still the crossed-out green flashing microphone.
