Recently i bought a ReSpeaker USB Mic Array for my RapberryPi 4 (8Gb).
I use this Mic for GoogleAssistant (SDK), but it hears me badly.
I decided to check the Mic with next commands:

[ pi@raspberrypi:~ $ arecord test.waw ] — and say some words.
answer:
[ Recording WAVE ‘test.waw’ : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
^CAborted by signal Interrupt… ]

[ pi@raspberrypi:~ $ aplay test.waw ] — I hear my words with VERY loud digital noise and interference!
answer:
[ Playing WAVE ‘test.waw’ : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono. ]

Then i cheked Mic with commands:
[ arecord --format=S16_LE --duration=5 --rate=16000 --file-type=raw out.raw ]
[ aplay --format=S16_LE --rate=16000 out.raw ]
With these commands the sound was PERFECT ! (just some echo).

I suppose that my Mic records sound in bad quality (by defalt), because my GA hardly hears me from distance even 1 metre.
Can you help me with this problem ?
I want to have my Mic recording always with good quality.

Best wishes!

Hello. My GA doesnt decrease the volume while I ask smth. How can I change it ?
Before it decresed the volume during response.

@mmrize
Do you mean you are building your own GA implementation with that SDK by yourself? - Ofcourse no, Im not…

Anyway, you need to adjust your AudioInConfig - Can you explain me, what I have to do exactly…
Im not experienced user of MagicMirror…

your SDK implementation should be configured with those - How ?

Hello everyone. Recently I set up Google Assistant module (with MMM-Detector)
http://wiki.bugsounet.fr/en/MMM-GoogleAssistant.
After that my Pi4 started to speak out everything that happens on the screen. I found that its speech dispatcher!
How can I switch of this task from task manager (or delete it) ??
It can has different names:
Speech dispatcher
Narrator
Screen dictor
Screen reader
eSpeak ng
