Aplay problem - no voice output

Help

Hi,
After upgrading to ver. 2.5.11 I have a problem with aplay.
I have a docker server-satellite installation.
Satellite is on a pi 3b+ with a USB connected Jabra Speak Model 510.

My configuration

{
    "intent": {
        "system": "hermes"
    },
    "microphone": {
        "pyaudio": {
            "device": "1",
            "udp_audio_host": "",
            "udp_audio_port": "12202"
        },
        "system": "pyaudio"
    },
    "mqtt": {
        "enabled": "true",
        "host": "192.168.1.xxx",
        "password": "password",
        "site_id": "CLIENT",
        "username": "username"
    },
    "sounds": {
        "aplay": {
            "device": "default:CARD=USB"
        },
        "system": "aplay"
    },
    "speech_to_text": {
        "system": "hermes"
    },
    "text_to_speech": {
        "system": "hermes"
    },
    "wake": {
        "porcupine": {
            "keyword_path": "alexa_raspberry-pi.ppn",
            "sensitivity": "0.45",
            "udp_audio": "12202"
        },
        "system": "porcupine"
    }
}

Anyone has any idea how to approach this error?

did you try the test in the sounds section then click on the one that has working*
sometimes you have to first remove the existing one. Save. Then open the section again and try test with nothing set.
I mucked around a lot trying to get my system going the way I wanted. But that seemed to work to reset the system back. I’m also a little curious how you ended up with pyaudio in one section without it being anywhere else.
I would probably take the microphone section back to the basics.
