alexa and gassistant not working together even after following the steps #1

the google assistant startsup first and then alexa. but only the google assistant has access to audio devices. even the option to set usb pnp as default device by clicking the speaker icon at the top right corner doesnt show anymore.

also my .asoundrc file gets modified to empty file on each reboot.

The speaker icon could have gone if you uninstalled pulseaudio. This repo does not alter the menubar or fiddle with pulseaudio. .asoundrc and asound.conf are not required since 2020 Dec update. USB PNP cards are plug and play since Dec 2020 release.

i did not uninstalled pulseaudio. speaker icon is there but it only shows two options hdmi and AV jack.even raspi-config does not shows usb-pnp as an option. and only google responds to wakeword. aplay 'xyzsoundfile' gives no sound output:

I see some irregularities here. The pulseaudio service is starting almost 15 mins after the assistants have started. Why has the Alexa started almost 8 mins after Google ?

Can you explain the reason for the differences in the intervals ?

Did you perform the installation and system wide operation on a fresh copy of OS or an old copy that has been already played around with ?
