I had also tested with a asound.conf as suggested in the rhasspy documentation
pcm.!default {
type pulse
# If defaults.namehint.showall is set to off in alsa.conf, then this is
# necessary to make this pcm show up in the list returned by
# snd_device_name_hint or aplay -L
hint.description "Default Audio Device"
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
and checked if my microphone is still there with pactl list
even with rhasspy running.
The result is
sox FAIL formats: can't open input 'alsa_input.usb-OmniVision_Technologies__Inc._USB_Camera-B4.09.24.1-01.multichannel-input': can not open audio device: No such entity
So what?
Ok lets forget pulseaudio!
