Mic configured and appears to be working, however test not working

Hi, new to rhasspy and have hit a bit of a brick wall.

Fresh docker image installed on top of a fresh raspbian (rpi3) with a webcam as mic (detected, shown as ‘working’ on a test). Audio stats are showing constantly shifting values which spike when I speak into the mic.

Testing on the home tab, hit “Wake up”, try one of the default sentences (“what time is it”), no dice and when attempting to download the recorded wav it’s presenting as a zero length recording (no speakers plugged in at the moment)

Any bright ideas on the stupid mistake I’ve made?

Update: It’s now recording (though I can’t see that I’ve made any relevant changes, but that’s the joy of computers), but timing out with 30s of recording and not being able to map my voice to the sentence / intent.

Rhasspy : 2.5.11
Debian : 11.6
Docker working nicely, it all comes back into service after a rpi level reboot

Log file from the test
