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

@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 :)

@shazglass There is a error log in the module. Also there is a hidden debug option for for informations debug: true

@strawberry-3.141 Hi - thank you for your reply. Ok, so how do I fix the error log in the module? and where must i type debug: true? Sorry for being a pain - like I said, I have no idea, I am seriously just helping my son, who also just taught himself by reading all of this information.

@shazglass

{
  module: 'MMM-voice',
  position: 'bottom_bar',
  config: {
    microphone: 1,
    debug: true
  }
},

post your error and debug log, it’s huge so maybe on pastebin
