cat /proc/asound/cards

the one above I took the USB sound card out and plugged the mic directly to the pi.

this one I did your command again with the sound card in the USB slot and mic connected to USB sound card:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [ALSA ]: bcm2835_alsa - bcm2835 ALSA
bcm2835 ALSA
1 [Device ]: USB-Audio - USB Audio Device
GeneralPlus USB Audio Device at usb-3f980000.usb-1.3, full speed

I have gone onto the pi itself and chossen the usb as an audio device with clicking microphone and microphone capture… but still shows the “error” in MM display.

cyberphox

and you ran the dependencies script from the installers folder?

cyberphox

mine was error cause i accidentally cloned into MMM-Voice…capital V and it didnt create the dic file…
maybe try running npm start dev and see what errors you have in the console

shazglass

@cyberphox yes, that I def did -was super careful with that.

@cyberphox heres what I get with the npm start dev…not sure I am doing this in the right dir. I checked the Capital V or v, and mine is def lowercase v

No worries dude. Personally, I’m glad to see you involved with your son. That’s how this started for me. I wanted to have something in common with my 21 year old son so I could stay “cool” in his eyes. Now . . .

I don’t use voice on my Pi mirror anymore but I do use it extensively on other boards. This is what I remember.

I didn’t use a 3rd party sound card
USB microphone plugged directly into USB port of the Pi
Needing to run alsamixer in a terminal window to set mic/capture device.
Testing mic by recording your voice (forgot command - google it)

After that, installing MMM-voice, paying careful attention to the directions on how to install the dependencies. If at this point the module runs but displays a microphone and the word “ERROR” then I can help you. If, on the other hand, the module does not run and errors in the terminal or the dev console then something in your beginning steps is amiss
