MMM-voice

Mykle1

i’m just using a usb microphone, never tried a buil in mic of a webcam because i don’t have one.

I actually got it working on a laptop with Ubuntu so I am now trying it on the Pi 3 with MMM-voice and a Logitech USB microphone. It loads with “Initializing” next to the microphone and for a second it shows “Ready, choose a mode.” but then it changes to Error. I tried to make it the default in Audio Device Settings on the Pi3 but it keeps going back to "bcm2835 (ALSA mixer) (Default). It won’t keep the “AK5370 (Alsa mixer)” as default.


 0 [ALSA           ]: bcm2835 - bcm2835 ALSA
                      bcm2835 ALSA
 1 [AK5370         ]: USB-Audio - AK5370
                      AKM AK5370 at usb-3f980000.usb-1.2, full speed

I’m going to bed!

I guess I should have mentioned that I already have that setting. I was tired. Does this mean that microphone is not compatible?

That would be great but I have to run to work for a few hours. I’ll be back in about 4 hours. So, perhaps later if you are available. I’d appreciate that.

I’m here for a while if you should come around

I tested my microphone on the Pi by doing this:

pi@Pi3:~ $ arecord -D plughw:1,0 test.wav
Recording WAVE 'test.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
^CAborted by signal Interrupt...
pi@Pi3:~ $

That gave me this:

Which sounds ok. Clear, and not too much white noise.

As long as my Audio Device Settings looks like this:

I am not in debug mode

{
     			module: 'MMM-voice',
     			position: 'top_right',
     			config: {
         		microphone: 1,
			keyword: 'MAGIC MIRROR', // UPPERCASE ONLY
			timeout: 15
     		}
 		},

However, I am getting this:

At least we got it working

So, can I remove that from showing?

@Mykle1 it shouldn’t be there when you not added debug flag in the config
