@Advokaten did you choose the correct audio device id?

Advokaten

@strawberry-3.141 when installing it said my mic was 1 so that’s what I have in my config. I tried doing microphone: 0 but that didn’t work either.

@Advokaten can you check out this? http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/faq#qfailed_to_open_audio_device_dev_dspno_such_file_or_directory and troubleshoot section here http://robot.laylamah.com/?p=35

@strawberry-3.141 The voice recognition works extremely slow. There’s a way to use Spanish as default language for voice commands?

Maybe using Google voice API?

Thanks

@daenick please read this https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-voice#information if you want to use faster detection you have to use a different module as this one will never support online services like google, apple, amazon, etc.

there are some custom language models for other languages https://sourceforge.net/projects/cmusphinx/files/Acoustic and Language Models/

@strawberry-3.141 I’m lost. Still can’t figure out what’s wrong. :(

@Advokaten did you try what the second link suggested?

Advokaten

@strawberry-3.141 Yes, sir! The ERROR text is gone. Now it’s displaying “Initialising…” and the mic icon has a slash through it and is blinking infinitely. I bet I’m doing a rookie mistake somewhere.

@Advokaten never had this happened before neither did someone report this issue. I would need to see it myself in order to debug it.

Advokaten

@strawberry-3.141 I tried reinstalling it with bash dependencies.sh and it’s back to “ERROR”. Derp.

Looking at error.log in the MMM-voice folder I can find:

Error opening audio device plughw:1,0 for capture: Connection refused
FATAL: "continuous.c", line 245: Failed to open audio device

Somebody gave a suggestion on running:

pocketsphinx_continuous -inmic yes -adcdev plughw:1,0

That too gave me:

Error opening audio device plughw:1,0 for capture: Connection refused
FATAL: "continuous.c", line 245: Failed to open audio device

I haven’t attached anything to my RPi except for an USB microphone.

Hi @strawberry-3-141 Now when I launch the mirror first it says “ready choose a mode” and after a few secnods “error” any idea why?

Advokaten

@pepemujica if you scroll to the bottom in your error.log, what does it say? I also cannot get it started.

pepemujica

@Advokaten Just a ‘1’

Advokaten

@pepemujica and the debug.log?

@Advokaten Hi, nothing to do with this, but as far as I couldn’t update the MM, I’ve removed the update notification from the config file and now it seems to be working the MM-Voice. don’t know why
