@richland007 can you please enable temporarily the more detailed debug log with debug: true?

@strawberry-3-141 Thank you so much for replying back to me :)
Did what you asked and on the MM itself it says Error Undefined but on the debug log everything sems to go fine until the very last sentence that says this:

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

When i run “cat /proc/asound/cards” i get this
“0 [ALSA ]: bcm2835_alsa - bcm2835 ALSA
bcm2835 ALSA
1 [Set ]: USB-Audio - USB Headphone Set
USB Headphone Set at usb-3f980000.usb-1.5, full speed”

And in the config.js file obviously i have selected the only mic i have right now number 1 USB headphone set and i know it is working just fine.

Let me know how what does that tell you
and again thank you

@richland007 can you check the following to see if another program can access the mic https://scribles.net/voice-recording-on-raspberry-pi/

Is there already another Programm running in the background which is accessing the mic?

@strawberry-3-141 Hello there,
I tested the mics following the steps on the above site and my microphone works just fine no errors the audio is good coming from the speakers and clear i do get a warning that does not affect anything that says:
“Warning: rate is not accurate (requested = 44100Hz, got = 48000Hz)
please, try the plug plugin”
but it does not affect the audio or the command actually when i try another mic it does not give me that error at all however the audio is not nearly as good.
So to recap the mic works it records a test file and gives no errors.

@richland007 it looks like it is a problem between alsa and pulseaudio https://sourceforge.net/p/cmusphinx/discussion/help/thread/c39732a2/

@strawberry-3-141 I know i have ALSA on my system but i don’t recall ever having to install Pulseaudio on my system. Is it required by this module? pulse audio that is …can i install it??

@richland007 I’m sorry I can’t really tell you something other than what I find googling myself, I never experienced sth similar other than couldn’t open device resource is busy.

@strawberry-3-141 Well i tried to install PulseAudio and use that instead of straight ALSA and configured it right according to the settings i found , i also removed and installed again MMM-voice but still the same error persists.
I tired every which way to tweak it as much as i could to make it work, for what i know cause i am no expert, but still no luck.
What can i do other than a fresh Rpi install that i dont want to do cause i have so many modules installed already??

Hey guys,
first of all thank u so much for creating this module @strawberry-3-141 i love it!
and @Mykle1 thanks for the solution it works perfect for me with

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib

I wasted a half year ago a couple of weeks with this module because it does not work for me, till now!
Yesterday i’ve reinstalled the Whole MM on a fresh Raspbian system and read all the comments here.

But there is one question still alive, i am in struggle with the commands i am not sure if i say it right.

MAGIC MIRROR -> VOICE = (going to Voice Mode)
(VOICE flashing) -> HIDE MODULES, SHOW MODULES, GOING TO SLEEP, WAKE UP

That works fine.

But what should i do if (VOICE) don’t flashing?
and are there different modes instead of VOICE?
oh and last but not least if i say (in flashing voice mode) Open Help or Close Help nothing happens :/
