Description of problem:

I know I'm asking for help regarding a recently abandoned component (Snips) but please, bear with me, I am very positive that a recent update of Supervisor (208) that took out of order my Snips assistant from home which was working flawlessly for almost an year. The message:

INFO:snips_audio_alsa::capture: Starting ALSA capture on device “default”
ALSA lib dlmisc.c:254:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so
ERROR:snips_audio_server : an error occured in the audio pipeline: Error(“snd_pcm_open”, Sys(ENXIO))
 -> caused by: ALSA function ‘snd_pcm_open’ failed with error 'ENXIO: No such device or address
1583613549: Socket error on client snips-audio-server|86-core-snips-1, disconnecting.
appears several time in Snips's logs.

Also the name of the audo devices changed, from "BCM2835 ALSA.." to "Audio Digital Stereo Output (IEC958)". The audio hardware is listed as follows:

> audio:
> 0:
> name: USB-Audio - USB PnP Sound Device
> type: Device
> devices:
> [object Object]
> [object Object]
> 1:
> name: bcm2835_alsa - bcm2835 ALSA
> type: ALSA
> devices:
> [object Object]
> [object Object]
> [object Object]

Is this issue related to some path changes (/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so)? Could it be solved by adjusting Supervisor instead of Snips? The issue is reported here also. Thank you so much!

You need to update your add-on that they use pulse plugin for alsa.

The core add-on for snips is not supported anymore and will be not updated. Please open an issue on the repository of you snips add-on. The developer can find all information on https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/hassio_addon_config#add-on-config
