arecord -t 5 -D hw:0,0 test.wav

Does this make test.wav?
If so, try this again.

aplay -D hw:0,0 test.wav

Nope. :pensive_face:

arecord -t 5 -D hw:0,0 test.wav
arecord: main:574: unrecognized file format 5

cat ~/.asoundrc

Tell me the result.

How you can setup previously? (I think you purchased that device for Google AIY project. Was there any instructions?)

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat ~/.asoundrc
cat: /home/pi/.asoundrc: File or directory does not exist

It’s the so- called Google Voice Kit AIY (https://aiyprojects.withgoogle.com/voice-v1/).

I used a ready meal Raspbian image made by Google.
Apart from creating the JSON file everything else consists of ready scripts (i.e assistant_library_demo.py is a script to runs and uses Google Assistant):

Hmmm… As I know,

arecord -d 5 test.wav
aplay test.wav

This should work because there is no other suspicious things. your card and device no is 0,0 and that is the default.

Again I made a noob error… I ran both commands at once lol! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

Running them separately worked like a charm! :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

I am going now to retry with the module addition.

So after following the installation instructions I ran a test by using the ‘Very simple version but limited’ module.

As a result all I get now from MM is a black empty screen (no config.js message and no trace of other modules can be seen).

@cr4z33 There is a small typo in the config file, please correct as under:

Incorrect: [replace this]
play: { // Full values are in FOR EXPERTS section.
playProgram: “mpg321”, // recommended.
}

Correct: [with this]
play: { // Full values are in FOR EXPERTS section.
playProgram: “mpg321”, // recommended.
},

@sgopala Thank you!! I’ve fixed. I think I had assumed that was the last field of ESSENTIALS parts, so I might have missed the last comma.
