Error: Empty response #3

Open toniweser opened 7 years ago

toniweser commented 7 years ago

Hi there,

first of all: Thanks!

We always receive the error 'empty response'.

All demos are working well. When we start the mirror (dev-mode), the status-indicator is red. When we type alexastart() in the console, the color changes to green. After typing alexastop() we get the error "empty response..."

We also tried uninstalling pulseaudio as it is recommended in another issue-thread.

Do you have any ideas?

Thank you!

hi @toniweser, the reason of empty audio is mainly because of the voice is not recorded. I think I should add something for testing it as well.

After pulseaudio removing(it's a must), please run the commands that they're written in README again, also check alsamixer and make sure that your microphone is not muted. Then restart your RPi and it should work.

You can also test whether everything is ok or not by trying to record your voice using arecord.

I'm glad to hear that you're using the module, soon I'll be updating the README, and fixing the many problems. Right now I'm watching the steps that I'm following while using fresh install and having notes from that.

Stay tuned! And please let me know if the problem is solved or not
