Matrix voice not recognizing google assistant wake word

[woolypencil]

Hi,

I’ve been having some difficulty running a google assistant on the matrix voice. All of the steps are working fine (after a few tries), but I cannot get the device to recognize “okay google” or “hey google”. Note that this doesn’t work using the Google sample code either, although in both cases I get no errors.

Also, the demos have stopped working for me. They were initially working, as I tried them before jumping into the google assistant, but now after running each one I get the error “can’t open device”.

The microphone seems to be working, as I can use arecord and replay the file. The only thing is that that it plays quietly and quickly. Is that expected?

Any help would be appreciated. I’ll admit that I’m a little out of my depth with Python, but I’m enjoying playing around with this device! Thanks in advance.

Hi @woolypencil,

Please paste here any output that you get, it is helpful to understand what could be happening.

What demos are you referring to?
