Much appreciate your help

from tjbot.

What version of the raspberry Pi are you using? Pi2 or Pi3?
The error message suggests there was a problem initializing the LED ...
Does the app "end" like previously or you are able to see speech transcripts when you speak to it?

-V.

i'm not sure why the copy and paste is putting a strikethrough sorry about that

Can you paste the results of the following?

Lets run some test to ensure you are able to record audio using your microphone (btw .. what type of mic are you using?)
arecord -D plughw:0,0 test.wav
This should record audio to test.wav and you should be able to play it aplay test.wav.
Does this run correctly on your setup?

Hi @victordibia and @kcookboyd. I'm being hit by this error as well. I sent you a slack message Victor, if possible, please help me out, as I've got an event in a few days, and I need the code ready :) Thanks!

from tjbot.

I've been able to fix the problem! I changed the microphoneDeviceId from plughw:1,0 to default.
Is this an issue only I'm experiencing, or is this something I should submit a pull request for? Since @kcookboyd and I have faced this issue, I think this is something that should be mentioned in the readme at least.

HI @tanmayb123
On various Pi setups, the microphone/speaker id might be different hence the need to change the deviceID variable. On most Pi's its plughw:1,0.
You are right, we should get an issue like this better documented.

Glad you were able to resolve this, thanks for the feedback!
Best with your event!

Victor.

Hey Guys. I have the same problem with the same USB Microphone. I am a complete noob, so how do I change the plughw to default?
