Picroft is not registering audio on the console

I can’t seem to get picroft to work. I’m using a PI 4 with ReSpeaker 2-Mics Pi HAT.
I run the below test and can clearly record and play back audio.

(.venv) pi@picroft:~ $ mycroft-start audiotest
Already up to date.
Initializing...
Starting audiotest
 ========================== Info ===========================
 Input device: pulse @ Sample rate: 16000 Hz

 ===========================================================
 ==           DONE RECORDING, PLAYING BACK...             ==
 ===========================================================
Playing WAVE '/tmp/test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 16000 Hz, Mono

But in the console the is no input indicated under mic level and no response to the wake word.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
