Alexa WakeWord ALSA Error

[architek1]

I followed these Instructables and I’m getting this error when running the command
$ cd wakeWordAgent/src && ./wakeWordAgent -e sensory

INFO:main: Starting Wake Word Agent

I don’t get this error when running kittai but neither of them work.

I have changed the ~/.asoundrc and have everything up and running except for when I run the wake word.

Hi @architek1,

You should have our MALOS service running . Please check that its runing using :
ps -ax | grep malos

Yoel

@yoelrc88

ps -ax | grep malos

Thanks. I got this when I ran the command:
432 ? Ssl 0:04 /usr/bin/malos_eye
434 ? Ssl 20:59 /usr/bin/malos
7690 pts/5 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto --exclude-dir=.bzr --exclude-dir=CVS --exclude-dir=.git --exclude-dir=.hg --exclude-dir=.svn malos

Hey @yoelrc88!

Is that what I should be seeing? As it still isn’t working on my end unfortunately.

[architek1]

I ran the command
malos

It said it was already running.

All demos and apps work perfect except for the this one. Anyone have any suggestions?

[architek1]

Hey @yoelrc88.

Are there any suggestions you might have in regards to this problem?

Thanks.

[yoelrc88]

I would recommend re-run the installation script and also maybe uninstall pulse audio. Please check this thread and then let us know how did it go.

Error with Alexa Pi

Hi! I had a working Alexa Pi with no issues at all and decided to get the Matrix Creator. I followed all the steps mentioned here and now with the Matrix Creator its not working at all. The Matrix Creator just has a blue flashing Led and thats it. Do i have to do something else as well apart from the steps mentioned above?

Sorry about the delay in the response, Please keep us updated

Thanks

PortAudio was successfully installed.

On some systems (e.g. Linux) you should run ‘ldconfig’ now
to make the shared object available. You may also need to
modify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include
