Mycroft doesn't respond to audio / getting passive-aggressivemed

Hi all,

Recently reinstalled Mycroft on ubuntu and now it won’t respond to my voice.
Here’s a quick recap of events:

Sunday, Jan 6th early morning: experimenting with adding NLTK chatbandot for fallback responses. Decide on the “rude” bot and I’m very entertained by snippy responses in place of the usual boring “…don’t know but learning every day” response.

Afternoon: return from mass w/ wife and cotinue to modify chatbot. Sometime during my third Slovakian mimosa (OJ & vodka), decide to change Mycroft’s name to “Mister Beals.” Fetch the phonetics from http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu and edit mycroft.conf and https://home.mycroft.ai/#/setting/advanced. Mycroft now responds to “Mister Beals” and doles out insults. SUCCESS!

Monday morning: decide to change Mr. Beals’ voice to something more formal and British sounding to up the snark factor of the insults. At some point, I notice that Mr. Beals is not playing the wav wake sound when I call him. He still responds and functions, but without playing the wav. I check the config and everything seems to be proper. I take a gram of phenitbut and 200 mg of l-theanine as I ponder the problem.

Monday night: By this time I’ve consuned another 4+ grams phenibut and three Carthusian Sazeras. Another unrelated install is causing problems. After rebooting and attempting to resolve this new disaster (fsk -f and such), I take the drastic measure of reinstalling ubuntu and mycroft. Now mycroft no longer responds to voice at all despite the clean install. Also, the option to change the wake word at /setting/advanced is grayed and set to ‘hey mycroft’ and doesn’t allow for edit.

audio.log below. I’ve installed from git+https://github.com/JarbasAl/py_mplayer w/ pip and pip3 w/ no effect and still receive that error. Not even sure if that even pertains to this problem.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Mark

p.s. is it possible that mycroft is sabotaging my system as a rebellion against these modifications?

py_mplayer error can be ignored and should be unrelated to this, i’ll let someone else help you on debugging however :stuck_out_tongue: @KathyReid is probably the person for the job, worst case she will know who to ping

quick note, try to use pastebin or equivalent, it hurts to see a wall of text with logs and isn’t very easy to parse for debugging, plaintext is king for logs

EDIT: did you come from erowid? i feel like i’m reading a trip report :smiley: hehe, just kidding

Hi there @SwampMidget, thanks for your detailed logs. I edited your post to show them in code view.

I can’t see anything initially wrong from the audio.log. Are there any errors in your voice.log?

Changing the playback voice is a function of the TTS - the Text to Speech Subsystem. Changing this should not change whether a “ding” sound is heard when the Wake Word is detected. What is more likely here is that the Audio Service is using a different audio player for speech playback (.wav) compared to the “ding” sound (.mp3) and that the “ding sound” player is not working / is not loaded. This is why we need to look at the voice.log.

Can you please send a screenshot of your Mycroft Wake Word settings in home.mycroft.ai?

Hi Kathy,

Thanks for the response and sorry for the wall of text code dump.

I’m still having problems: mycroft no longer listens to my voice (much like my wife), and I’m not getting the ackonowledge sound. Another anomaly that may be relevant: the mic is picking up my voice as the sound meter bars are showing, but the units next to the bars are in the thousands. I seem to recall them being lower before the reinstall. Could this have something to do with the threshold setting I found on Pairing Your Device - Mycroft AI ? Included below is my voice.log that you mentioned. I found no errors but do find the but do find the line about a “slave process” a little disturbing. Here is the screenshot of my advanced setting of home.mycroft.ai

I thank you for your help on this problem. I hope my description of the problem makes sense as I’m still on a rather high dose of phenibut HCL. I’ll be cycling to a caffeine & l-theanine combo starting tomorrow, so I’ll be much more succinct and focused in my future posts.

Thanks,
Mark_

Hi there @SwampMidget,

Firstly, were you able to provide your voice.log so we can take a look at that?

Mycroft not listening to your voice

This indicates that the microphone is not capturing the speech input properly. You’ve indicated that the meter bars are showing, which could mean that the “gain” on the microphone is either too high or too low. A good way to check this is with the alsamixer utility, which allows you to adjust the gain on a microphone.

“Ding” acknowledge sound

There are three possibilities here. One is that Audio Service which plays .mp3 files is not working. Your audio.log would have had errors though if this were the case. Another possibility is that the acknowledge sound has been switched off in a configuration, but this is done by editing a file and is unlikely to be mistakingly changed. The third possibility is that Mycroft is not “dinging” because the output device - the speaker - is not properly selected.

The threshold setting is used for the Wake Word only; it is not used for microphone input or speaker output.

This block of output possibly indicates the wrong device is selected.

If you run the command aplay -l what is the output?

Thanks JarbasAI,

OK py_mplayer error eliminated as possibility. These log files have are a never ending mystery. I feel like I’m trying to decipher Sanskrit or something.

“did you come from erowid?” LOL I wanted to send you a DM and tell you that I’m just having some fun w/ the whole phenibut nonsense. But it seems I can’t find the private msg option on this forum despite searching for 15+ min. Plus, I can’t seem to get the code block tag to work on here. [code] [\code], right? Welp, didn’t work for some reason. Perhaps that phenibut stuff really is affecting me and I can no longer do basic tech stuff. That would explain this forum gore as well as my prob w/ getting mycroft to listen.

peace,
Mark_

OK I’ll try messing with those and report back.
