@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
}

@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?

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

@snikolaidis oh… that won’t affect sound

snikolaidis

@sdetweil Sorry trying to think of anything possible

@snikolaidis said in Hello-Lucy:

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

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

Thank you @sdetweil for doing the troubleshooting on this one. :thumbsup:

@snikolaidis Did you ever figure this out? I have a pi4 and have a logitech webcam c920 … it shows as card 2 and should be 2,0 … I can record and play back in arecord Everything from what I can see works fine except when in MM Lucy talks and then when waiting for command her icon goes to ERROR.

I have gotten this to work with a sunfounder usb mic (just a crappy mic) and I was hoping the lag would be better using the webcam mic. (waiting for my new 3.5 jack microphone which should help the lag).

In any case I just do not know why Lucy doesn’t pick up the webcam mic??
@Mykle1 does it make sense it doesn’t work?
