Which of the various methods are you using, for example Docker, venv, etc? And is yours a single instance of Rhasspy, or a master-satellite setup?
Which version of Rhasspy are you using?
You need to tell the community much more about your situation so that people are able to help.
everything is on the first post. i also publish the log. i said that i use it on docker, the last version
OK, I see that now. Sorry, I hadn’t read right back to the beginning of the thread.
It looks to me, as a novice myself with Rhasspy, as though there is a problem with your sound system setup. Sorry, I’m out of my depth at this point, but hopefully someone will be able to step in.

I hope because it’s really frustrating…
ten days and nobody can help me to use Rhasspy? is it work for somebody?
Hey there! It is not that easy to help you as there is so many layers in your setup (OS, docker, Rhasspy, PyAudio, etc).
Sound management on Linux is quite complex (ALSA, Jack, PulseAudio) and its abstraction in a docker container adds another level of complexity to the mix.
I’d start by opening a bash CLI session inside the running Rhasspy container using docker exec -it rhasspy bash and look directly inside the running container.
Look for ALSA sound cards with aplay -l and arecord -l (maybe post the result here so we can see what your container has).
Try to record from the appropriate sound card using arecord -D<cardname> -r 16000 -c 1 -f S16_LE test.wav (again post the result if not working).
If all of these work then Rhasspy should work too. Maybe try to use arecord instead of PyAudio.
Hope this helps.
I don’t remember exactly what I do, but I followed a tutorial to test sound on debian. At first nothing worked… finally I use something like you said and I succeed to record and playback the sound! but on rhasspy nothing change :s is it possible that it’s a permission problem?
Did you have a better idea to install all that? I just follow the tutorial and it said that docker on raspi was the easiest solution 
Did you manage to record and playback from INSIDE Rhasspy’s running docker container?
yes i tried with the tutorial i mentionned at first post. to test Rhasspy… i clic on wake up but nothing was recorded… i also publish the log
I think you are not reading what I’ve written correctly. You need to get INSIDE Rhasspy docker container not in your debian host.
Execute docker exec -it rhasspy bash to start a bash session INSIDE the container then post the result of these commands:
uname -aaplay -larecord -larecord -r 16000 -c 1 -f S16_LE test.wav
Without these info we won’t be able to help your further…
Sorry I didn’t understand !
That’s what I’ve done :
docker exec -it rhasspy bash

Your USB sound card is correctly available inside the container.
This might indicate that you are missing the /etc/asound.conf file inside the container.
If you have such a file on your Debian host, try to mount it in your Rhasspy container (stop the container, rm the container, start a new container) with the -v /etc/asound.conf:/etc/asound.conf additional parameter.
If you do not have this file on your host, check this topic first:

Hope this helps.
Sorry but could you just be more precise? I’m not very confident with debian environement and all command line stuff…
What’s the exact command I must enter please?
I try to do :
docker stop rhasspy
docker rm rhasspy
docker run -d -p 12101:12101
–name rhasspy
–restart unless-stopped
-v “$HOME/.config/rhasspy/profiles:/profiles”
-v “/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro”
-v “/etc/asound.conf:/etc/asound.conf”
–device /dev/snd:/dev/snd
rhasspy/rhasspy
–user-profiles /profiles
–profile fr
it answer a lot of numbers…
I try to clic on wake up and say something… but nothing 
I also check if parameters was the same and they didn’t change… weird…
I clic on “test” for the mic, but nothing change, no entry was with “working” on it…
Can you do this and post the result?

Looks like you are using PulseAudio on your Debian host… and also Jack (why?)…
I don’t know enough about those two to help you further… I’m not sure it will be easy/trivial without deep knowledge of Linux/PulseAudio though… maybe someone else can take it from here…
is there a reason why you use the pulse audio sound server? Like for some other project your using? Maybe remove this part if not used… https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/remove-pulse-device-from-alsa-4175419061/
crearly… I just follow a lot of advices I don’t know what’s pulseaudio and if it’s necessary for something lol What can I do?
Is this a system that you need for other services than Rhasspy? Otherwise, I would recommend a clean Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit) Lite reinstall and try the tutorial again, and like @Andrew49 said immediately come back here for help with the exact error message you get so we can try to figure out what’s going on.
