@sdetweil Sorry trying to think of anything possible

@sdetweil the beta firmware & bootloader that lets you boot from usb

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
Sudo nano /etc/default/rpi-eeprom-update
sudo rpi-eeprom-update -d -f /lib/firmware/raspberrypi/bootloader/beta/pieeprom-2020-05-27.bin

@sdetweil yeah still not working with lucy even though arecord works, would it have anything to do with that i went beta with the pi4?

@sdetweil i specified the mic in ~.asoundrc so now arecord goes directly to the usb mic but still throws the format code, lucy still wont pick it up tho

pcm.!default {
  type asym
  playback.pcm {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "output"
  }
  capture.pcm "hw:2,0"
}

pcm.output {
  type hw
  card 1
}

ctl.!default {
  type hw
  card 1
}

@sdetweil
yes on both i hear what i said and changing the microphone line in config is all i’ve ever done to get it working, flash raspbian -> install MM and modules -> run arecord -l and change the mic config line to what my pi reflects

Pi4b

 {
disabled: false,
module: "Hello-Lucy",
position: "bottom_bar",
config: {
    keyword: 'JARVIS',              // keyword to activate listening for a command/sentence
    timeout: 5,                        // timeout listening for a command/sentence
    standByMethod: 'DPMS',              // 'DPMS' = anything else than RPi or 'PI'
    microphone: "2,0",                  // run "arecord -l" card # and device # mine is "0,0"
    sounds: ["intro.mp3"],        // welcome sound at startup. Add several for a random greetings
    confirmationSound: "ding.mp3",      // name and extension of sound file
    startHideAll: false,                 // All modules start as hidden EXCEPT PAGE ONE
    // *** Page One is your default startup page *** This overrides startHideAll: true,
    pageOneModules: ["Hello-Lucy","MMM-AfterShip"],                     // default modules to show on page one/startup
    pageTwoModules: ["Hello-Lucy", "MMM-BMW-OW"], // modules to show on page two
    pageThreeModules: ["Hello-Lucy", "MMM-Systemstats"],                 // modules to show on page three
    }
}

Pi3b+

    microphone: "2,0",                  // run "arecord -l" card # and device # mine is "0,0"

    pageThreeModules: ["Hello-Lucy", "MMM-Systemstats"],                 // modules to show on page three
    }
}

if i specify the USB camera it works, if i leave it to defaults audio open error

@sdetweil also weirdly enough

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ arecord -D hw:2,0 test.wav

arecord: set_params:1339: Sample format non available

but

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ arecord  test.wav
arecord: main:828: audio open error: No such file or directory
pi@MagicMirror:~ $

@sdetweil said in Hello-Lucy:

~/.asoundrc

Pi3 file doesnt exist - mic shows error but works
pi4 file exists - mic shows error still doesn’t work

@Mykle1 Sorry to be bothering you again, decided to switch to my pi4b to see how it performs, and now the usb camera I had working on the pi3b+ will not work now, arecord -l lists it as card 2 device 0 and it still says error. Im at a lost npm start dev shows no errors and if I take the same config over to the 3b+ with the proper mapping it works fine

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ arecord test.wav
ALSA lib pcm.c:2565:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM input
arecord: main:828: audio open error: No such file or directory

:face_with_tears_of_joy: but thats what i do for a living, I build it or someone else does, then i break it and i fix it, lol

on another note, i guess i said too many unkown commands or somethings and a list of all the commands possible popped up and wont go away, any thoughts other than rebooting :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
