@Mykle1 Good morning.
thank you for the reply, makes a lot of sense. I don’t know how to run alsamixer? which directory would I do that in. I have tested the mic and it def works. I am at the point where it displays a microphone with ERROR showing. Sometimes it says , INITIALISING, CHOOSE MODE, then straight away shows ERROR again. Is there something on the pi I need to configure? thnx again Mykle, and I am a mom to a 15 year old :)

@Mykle1 thank you so much…I will read the documentation again, did feel I over thought the MMM-voice, but have an error on that at the moment. But still did over think it…Would seriously appreciate any help you my be able to assist with. I am from South Africa…and its bed time :) so hopefully will chat tomorrow - have an amazing evening!

@cyberphox hi… I am so hard trying not to be an ass… but I dont know what you mean? Sorry…I am serously a 5 day taught myself to help my son with his project.

@Mykle1 Hi thank you for replying to me but I think I am that new to this that I didnt even understand your question…all I did is install the module as per the example…i dont know how to config t to suit my wifi needs for the code…nd to be honest I am in awe that you have replied…I have added so many of your modules to my first MM!..I even wanted to ask for a dummies version of how to install Hello Lucy:)

hi everyone…so I managed to install the QRCode onto my MM…but, I would like it to be my home wifi code thats shown. I have no idea how to change the “example” code to be my wifi code.
Stupid new at this too…another post is me having an error with MMM-voice.
any beginners language advice would be so greatly appreciated! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

@cyberphox heres what I get with the npm start dev…not sure I am doing this in the right dir. I checked the Capital V or v, and mine is def lowercase v

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-voice $ npm start dev
npm ERR! missing script: start

@cyberphox yes, that I def did -was super careful with that.

I have gone onto the pi itself and chossen the usb as an audio device with clicking microphone and microphone capture… but still shows the “error” in MM display.

@cyberphox said in MMM-voice setup but MagicMirror wont display:

cat /proc/asound/cards

the one above I took the USB sound card out and plugged the mic directly to the pi.

this one I did your command again with the sound card in the USB slot and mic connected to USB sound card:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /proc/asound/cards
