N00b here, downloaded and used the .zipped image hosted by Mycroft on Google Drive, linked from that Github page, and am experiencing this same problem.
Is it Picroft Stable 2019-11-10 image you downloaded?
The old coments mentions older version of the Picroft image, and as far as I can tell it is fixed in the latest. 2019-11-10
Yes, I downloaded and installed it last week.
Hmmm I did to and it is working for me.
But I always firat exiting the auto_run script and perform
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
to make sure everything is updated. And then reboot and walk throu the setup.
Is it only sound that are missing ? Can you see mycrofts speach in the mycroft-cli-client ?
Yes, I can see Mycroft’s responses to voice inputs perfectly well in the cli client. In fact, if I leave it on for a day or more, I’ve now found that the problem worsens to the point where no voice/sound at all comes out of the speaker. I’m not married to Google hardware, I’ve only been using the kit because I found it at a discount – so I’ll likely swap out the AIY hat and output device for something else. Will hunt at Goodwill store for cheap speakers. I’m not clear on something, though, after reading the documentation: If I come across a USB speaker, how necessary is it to also use a USB sound card of some kind?
OK then mycroft is working, but hardware/setup is not.
if you use alsamixer can you encrese volume and mute/unmute ? And what outputdevice does alsamixer say you use ? (should be pulseaudio)
I’m afraid I never checked, I just did the setup wizard, selecting Google AIY for both input and output, and left everything else (vis a vis outputdevice) as whatever the default is. For what it’s worth, whatever I was using was able to adjust the volume up/down.
I tried installing the Linux version from the master branch and it the problem still exists.
Right, so I got the same problem on my picroft (Pi 4) with an AUX Speaker.
I’ve tried pretty much everything mentioned in this thread - still no change. I can speak commands that get answered - in the cli, but not via audio. The listening-sound plays though. What else can I do?
