it works now. I changed that in the config under “record” Old: device : null // recording device (e.g.: "plughw:1") New: device : "plughw:1" // recording device (e.g.: "plughw:1")

@sunilkvr { module: “MMM-AssistantMk2”, position: “top_right”, config: { useWelcomeMessage: “brief today” } }, this simple config should work just for testing and making sure the module loads. I ended up fixing mine by rolling back to grpc 1.2 and gcc7 then rebuilding the binaries. Took about an hour on my pi 2, but its up and running now.
