Soundcard not found after MM install
Closed this issue · 11 comments
I am trying to use Google AIY with Magic Mirror. I am installing Google AIY using the AIY + Rasbian buster img from the Google website. After configuring AIY, I successfully test the voice input and output as well as the assistant modules. However, as soon as I install MM and reboot, arecord -l starts returning "arecord: device_list:272: no soundcards found..." . What am I missing here !!
just to be clear - "assistant modules" above does not refer to MM modules.. I meant the included demo python scripts with Google AIY
sorry, have no idea.. there is some conflict between code levels..
the installer updates the system to latest and installs these dependencies
curl wget git build-essential unzip
MM does not have any voice support built in, so doesn't load any runtime files for that
how is your mic connected? usb?
if usb, what does lsusb show?
@bravozulu1979 I also had this problem with the AIY Voice Kit V2. I reached out to their support team about a month ago and they confirmed that the current driver code is not compatible with the latest Linux kernel. A bug was filed with their dev team - I'll let you know if I hear anything on this. Hoping it's sooner rather than never later.
@nmilenko thanks for the update.. so that means when the installed for sudp apt-get upgrade, it installs the new kernel.
I don't know if you can get around that by doing manual install
git clone mm repo
cd MagicMirror
npm install
many times this fails because some dependencies are not met, and we need the upgrade.. but u can try.
I wonder if there is a way to detect this platform
can u run
lsb_release -a
or
uname -a
and show the results
@sdetweil see below!
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release: 10
Codename: buster
$ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 5.4.51+ #1327 Thu Jul 23 10:53:06 BST 2020 armv6l GNU/Linux
The dev team also just got back to me that there should be a new release for the AIY Voice Kit by the end of next month which is expected to fix the issue surrounding the latest kernel.
closed, not MM or installer problem
@nmilenko did u get any info on the updated AIY kit?
@sdetweil Unfortunately I have not. Seems another user is looking into the kernel though.
