Following comments by @aatchison last week that there was a known issue with the analogue audio output ( i.e. the headphone jack in the rpi board ) and
rpi cmd aplay hanging after a number of “plays”, i’ve been looking at speaker alternatives.
Update to the above config - rpi / ps3 eye / 3d usb sound card
Powered on today and went thru usual auto update process.
Now Mycroft will not respond to wake word.
test_microphone util records and plays voice.
Have tried disconnect all components and reconnect but still no wake work response.
Version on boot is 0.8.3.
Any ideas ??
.only thing i can think of is RPi power supply issues but as test_microphone util works cant see how that is valid
Have rolled back rpi mycroft to a 3.5mm speaker and the ps3 eye
as the USB sound card and the usb powered hub seem to conflict sometimes with mycroft … intermittent un-diagnosed fault.
The USB sound card should work , maybe with some alsa config changes according to some rpi blogs.
Mycroft now running this version 0.8.5 core … which has the beep and has a fix for aplay hang, so all working again as far as mic input and audio.
