@snikolaidis

Stop breaking shit. :-)

[snikolaidis]

:face_with_tears_of_joy: but thats what i do for a living, I build it or someone else does, then i break it and i fix it, lol

on another note, i guess i said too many unkown commands or somethings and a list of all the commands possible popped up and wont go away, any thoughts other than rebooting :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

[Mykle1]

@snikolaidis

In the terminal?

Type clear and enter
or
Close the terminal and open a new one

[snikolaidis]

@Mykle1 Sorry to be bothering you again, decided to switch to my pi4b to see how it performs, and now the usb camera I had working on the pi3b+ will not work now, arecord -l lists it as card 2 device 0 and it still says error. Im at a lost npm start dev shows no errors and if I take the same config over to the 3b+ with the proper mapping it works fine

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ arecord test.wav
ALSA lib pcm.c:2565:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM input
arecord: main:828: audio open error: No such file or directory

[sdetweil]

@snikolaidis on you pi3 you have a file ~/.asoundrc
did u build one on pi4 ? with the right info?

[snikolaidis]

@sdetweil said in Hello-Lucy:

~/.asoundrc

Pi3 file doesnt exist - mic shows error but works
pi4 file exists - mic shows error still doesn’t work

[snikolaidis]

@sdetweil also weirdly enough

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ arecord -D hw:2,0 test.wav
Recording WAVE 'test.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
arecord: set_params:1339: Sample format non available

but

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ arecord  test.wav
arecord: main:828: audio open error: No such file or directory
pi@MagicMirror:~ $

[sdetweil]

@snikolaidis before we get to MM with lucy, arecord must work

arecord: set_params:1339: Sample format non available
Available formats:
- S16_LE

yes, it didn’t record cause it can’t do the default

arecord --format=S16-LE test.wav

[snikolaidis]

@sdetweil said in Hello-Lucy:

arecord --format=S16-LE test.wav

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ arecord --format=S16_LE test.wav
arecord: main:828: audio open error: No such file or directory

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ arecord -D hw:2,0 --format="S16_LE" test.wav

if i specify the USB camera it works, if i leave it to defaults audio open error

[sdetweil]

@snikolaidis and aplay test.wav do you hear what you said?

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil >if i specify the USB camera it works,

ok, so, how do you update lucy to use the usb camera config ?

[snikolaidis]

@sdetweil
yes on both i hear what i said and changing the microphone line in config is all i’ve ever done to get it working, flash raspbian -> install MM and modules -> run arecord -l and change the mic config line to what my pi reflects

Pi4b

}

[snikolaidis]

@sdetweil i specified the mic in ~.asoundrc so now arecord goes directly to the usb mic but still throws the format code, lucy still wont pick it up tho

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

pcm.output {
  type hw
  card 1
}

ctl.!default {
  type hw
  card 1
}

[sdetweil]

mine is

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 1
}

so I would guess yours would be

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 2
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 1
}

[snikolaidis]

@sdetweil yeah still not working with lucy even though arecord works, would it have anything to do with that i went beta with the pi4?

[sdetweil]

@snikolaidis said in Hello-Lucy:

i went beta with the pi4

what beta? the 64bit pi os?

[snikolaidis]

@sdetweil the beta firmware & bootloader that lets you boot from usb

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
Sudo nano /etc/default/rpi-eeprom-update
sudo rpi-eeprom-update -d -f /lib/firmware/raspberrypi/bootloader/beta/pieeprom-2020-05-27.bin

[sdetweil]

@snikolaidis oh… that won’t affect sound

[snikolaidis]

@sdetweil Sorry trying to think of anything possible

[Mykle1]

@snikolaidis said in Hello-Lucy:

Oh, did you mean commands to Lucy? The Command List appeared? You can say “Hide Help” or “Close Help”.
