Just noting that I've seen this error when running snowboy on a Pi with the Matrix Creator for the microphone; except that it's using snowboydecoder_arecord.py:

Listening... Press Ctrl+C to exit

Depuis aujourd'hui et à priori la récupération d'une mise à jour de Jarvis, l'exécution bloque dès la reconnaissance du hotword avec snowboy:

@alexylem j'ai vu que tu avais repéré ce soucis depuis déjà Avril dernier, sais-tu quelle en est la cause?

D'avance merci pour un retour.

Greetings all. I was wondering if anything has been found to address this issue? It has recently shown up for myself where the project has been working great up till this point. I have taken my install back to original config and still have the same error.

I tested to see if the audio device was locked due to use and that was not the issue.

Upon further investigation I found that my home directory's .asoundrc file was reset to default. This resulted in producing an error when jarvis starts

"cat: /proc/asound/carde/id: No such file or directory"

Checking the file location I found I do not have any directory by the name "carde". Restoring a copy of my .asoundrc and pointing to the correct USB devices addressed this issue for me.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

I was having the same issue I fixed it by adding os.system("killall arecord") on below line 90 in snowboydecoder_arecord.py. I believe chunks coming in from a different arecord process are causing the error.

    def record_proc(self):
        os.system("killall arecord")
        CHUNK = 1024
        RECORD_RATE = 16000
