MMM-voice setup but MagicMirror wont display

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.

and you ran the dependencies script from the installers folder?
-
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 -
@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
alsamixerin 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

@Mykle1 Good morning.
thank you for the reply, makes a lot of sense. I don’t know how to run alsamixer? which directory would I do that in. I have tested the mic and it def works. I am at the point where it displays a microphone with ERROR showing. Sometimes it says , INITIALISING, CHOOSE MODE, then straight away shows ERROR again. Is there something on the pi I need to configure? thnx again Mykle, and I am a mom to a 15 year old :)
