Hello-Lucy Module Microphone not working

@Linas123 can u minimize mirror (alt-spacebar, n)

and then run top in a terminal window (ctrl-alt-t)
ctrl-c to exit top

Maybe I just think that response time is slow, although it is fast for a cheap computer like the raspberry.

@Linas123 cool, thx… nothing running really…

i also didn’t like the realtime responsiveness of the pi (til pi4)
and bought odroid and jetson nano to get more speed.

Linas123

@sdetweil
That’s a cool idea, but I don’t like to change anything on the hardware. I keep that in mind for my next project.

sdetweil

@Linas123 yep, i do support most of the time, maintain the installer/updater scripts…

have a pi0, 3, 4, odroid, jetson nano I use the odroid in a production photoframe/info kiosk on the wall in my hall (no mirror glass or enclosure)

@sdetweil

I put a lot of effort into building the Magic Mirror (even a frameless Magic Mirror). Without self-praise I have seen many other Magic Mirrors but mine is by far the most beautiful one and finally a voice control is part of it. It is also completely designed for a Raspberry Pi, so I don’t want to change anything now.

sdetweil

@Linas123 cool… glad you are happy with your project… it takes a lot of energy!..

Linas123

@sdetweil Yes, I’am a bit proud of me. It’s very cool that in this forum are so helpful and nice guys.

Guys can you please help me out! @Mykle1 @Linas123 @sdetweil @TheGeekfather
My rpi model 3b+
I have installed Hello lucy correctly, executed npm install.
My mic card and device number is 1,0
My mic and speaker both are working fine, tested: arecord test.wav
Whenever I start my MM and speak hello lucy , lucy don’t detect my voice he don’t respond.
So I tried:
In asoundrc file I changed “hw:1,0” to “plughw:1,0”
But the result is same lucy is not responding.

executed npm install.

Uhh, that is not how the dependencies are installed, according to the readme.
