Help with Kinect

Help

Hi all !!
I’m trying to make the kinect microphones to work on a raspberry install. Anybody had success with that ?

I can succesfully record audi with this arecord command : " arecord -D hw:1,0 -f S32_LE -r 16000 -c 4 test.wav"

So I tried setting up arecord in rhasspy, but read the defaut arecord settings where quite different, and the kinect won’t work unless i have those precise option selected.

Is there any way to customise arecord defaut rhasspy options ?

Thanks for your help :slight_smile:

Try to use plughw:1,0 as the input device using arecord.

Thanks for the reply, but just tried with no luck…

Do you know if there’s a way to better debug what’s happening ? the interface log are quite empty…

So I managed to get the kinect as default arecord device, so now no need for specific options to test record a wave file… but still nothing on the rhasspy side configured with arecord :frowning:

Here is the log but it does not help a lot i think :

In the Settings page, can you use the “Test” button under arecord settings and see if it says your mic is “working”?

So I made some improvement, I started again from scratch, used Ubuntu mate as OS, and added pulseaudio to get it to work :slight_smile:
Now trying to improve the sound capture cause I have to be really close to the speaker to get it to work, which wasn’t the case with other voice assistant I tried…

And to answer your question, the test button doesn’t work (or I can’t see any notification), but still it works to capture sound…
