Ironically, I decided to reinstall it last night before bed. I had edited yaml.config last time for the device type but this time i actually selected magic mirror. It started to work again. LOL. sound was a little choppy so i changed playback from vlc to sox. Mind you I haven’t gone out to check it yet this morning…hahah

i’m probably gonna wait until my Kinobo USB mic arrives…i know that sound work as opposed to this PS Eye

Nope. no other modules…it seems the AlexaPi service is not starting…getting an error…seriously may just use my Dot…if i did’t like that damn microphone icon so much

@johnnyboy lol…the microphone icon is back now with a slash through it and I’m not even being greeted with a hello when the Pi boots now…off to the gitter maybe!

I’m sure it’s probably the PS Eye mic and the usb mic you have coming (that I ordered too) will work fine. For example, when I go into aslamixer and try to hit f6 to change to the Eye to increase the volume, it crashes with an invalid argument error…

Yup the arecord does produce a wav file for me that i can playback. But Alexa doesn’t respond anymore…she did a few times…maybe i ticked her off now…lol

@lucallmon I was having the same issue. changed to sox and it worked once for me. now I also hear the hello and one time i was able to ask her a question…but now it almost seems like the mic stopped working…grrr

Gonna attempt this Alexa install one more time…have a USB sound card and would love to have it integrated with the icon on screen like that…but at the end of the day - $50 to just buy a dot and stick it behind there might be worth my time…lol

what Alexa module is that? fantastic by the way!
