Hi, maybe the ideas in #404 help you
Hi, thanks for the hint. I increased the value to 8192 and now it sounds much better but not good. Found some other hints that the builtin sound of Raspi is not that good. That's true because I always have a noise in the speakers. Have ordered an USB mini soundcard and will continue testing with it.
Try audio_engine: alsa
There is no problem with builtin sound card.
with audio_engine: alsa
I get:

Not sure about the issue, try running it with --debug flag and you will see more messages like

my config is as follows: Change input_device and output_device with yours.
audio_engine: 'alsa'
input_device: 'front-card-u0x46d0x825'
output_device: 'front-card-alsa'
audio:
input_samplerate: '16000'
input_samplewidth: '16'
input_channels: '1'
input_chunksize: '1024'
output_chunksize: '320'
output_padding: 'no'
Also try this change: line 103 in jasper-client/plugins/audioengine/alsa-ae/alsaaudioengine.py
Change-
stream = alsaaudio.PCM(type=pcm_type,
mode=alsaaudio.PCM_NORMAL,
device='default')
To-
stream = alsaaudio.PCM(type=pcm_type,
mode=alsaaudio.PCM_NORMAL,
device=self.name)
Thanks a lot, that leaded me to a solution. With your settings my Jasper sounded like Micky Mouse and the mic didn't recognize anything, but with these settings it works for me now:
output_device: convert
with convert configured like this in ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.convert {
type plug;
slave {
pcm default;
rate 48000;
}
}
and the following settings in profile.yml:
audio:
input_samplerate: '8000'
input_samplewidth: '16'
input_channels: '1'
input_chunksize: '1024'
output_chunksize: '1024'
output_padding: 'no'
You are lucky you got Micky Mouse. What USB Soundcard or Mic you are using ? and what are the sample rates it support ?
And by using below setting you are upsampling input audio in Jasper , which is not good.
audio:
input_samplerate: '8000'
Most of the STT needs input_samplerate set to 16000.
I'm still using the internal card as you said that it's working fine. Output is fine now with the settings above.
My mic is a Kinobo Mini Akiro which show up in lsusb like this:
Bus 001 Device 017: ID 0c76:160a JMTek, LLC.
My imagination was that with a sample rate of 8000 speech recognition is better than with 16000.
I followed your hint and set the sample rate of the mic back to 16000. But then I get

continously. Changing the value back to 8000 results in:

seems you are using Google STT for both active and passive listening. no issue then, happy jaspering.
Hi,
just cloned the devel-branch onto my Raspi 3. Everything works fine, but the sound output via the jack sounds very stuttering and slow. When I play the sounds with aplay oder mplayer everything sounds ok. The official jasper-client works perfect as well. So the actual sound configuration doesn't seem to be the problem.
Jasper itself lists the following sound devices, I tried default and gave bcm2835-alsa-hw-10 explicitly with no change.
Any ideas?
