Mic not automatically recognized on laptop #2

Closed nn81 closed 2 years ago

Hello,

I'm trying the code on my linux laptop (ubuntu-based, Linux mint 20). The installation went well but when arriving to "Say something" there are some error messages related to the microphone detection:

ALSA lib pcm.c:2642:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.rear
ALSA lib pcm.c:2642:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.center_lfe

ALSA lib pcm_usb_stream.c:486:(_snd_pcm_usb_stream_open) Invalid type for card

I've installed the additional portions as mentioned on the README but still no dice.

How would we get this sorted?

Thanks!

To solve this situation I've attached a USB microphone and then worked great, albeit still with the same error message.

Just seems unable to get it directly from the laptop microphone. Other than that, excellent work.

Yes, the message occurs even when working. I was not aware built-in mics would not work. Perhaps the threshold just needs to be lowered?

I've tested with headphone mics, a dedicated microphone and finally a conference room mic/speaker.

The conference room one works best for this purpose, but no internal mic yet on Linux (Mint 20). Anyways, not a big deal.

Unfortunately it fails to detect built-in mic on Ubuntu 22.04 Mate.

        Say something!

There is no response.
