The mystical fix called out here of importing sounddevice fixed all the ALSA errors for me on Ubuntu 23.10 (Raspberry Pi)

Have you tried this fix @miguelhg9211?

@hpsaturn you can try this to resolve the ALSA error

I tried this but nothing. I added software/pyproject.toml and reinstalling the app, but nothing. Also I removed my .asoundrc config file and other alsa configs but nothing. I can't hear anything and also I think it is not capturing anything too, and also one problem more, after some time of tries with the spacebar the application has a exception:

I synced the repo, and I don't know, maybe the problem is not ALSA? maybe has relation with the socket and communication with the engine? After some minutes, I had this exception:

The mystical fix called out here of importing sounddevice fixed all the ALSA errors for me on Ubuntu 23.10 (Raspberry Pi)

This worked for me. Thank you! These are the steps to take with poetry:

poetry shell
pip3 install sounddevice

After install, exit shell, open software\start.py and add as the last import import sounddevice. Running poetry run 01 --model gpt-4-turbo should run without OP's errors.

@rbrisita That fixed it indeed, wonderful work. You should PR this 🚀

[hpsaturn]

@rbrisita thanks for your comment, I did that, and sounds that it fix fixes the ALSA issue, but after that I had the next exception:

with entering to shell again and installing this missing package: pip3 install asyncio, I don't have the ALSA errors 🍾🍾, but it doesn't works yet, I don't have recording messages or any sound:

I never encountered an issue with asyncio. I have had most success with a X11 and systemd Linux distro and using Python 3.10. I recommend the combination of pyenv and poetry when creating the environment.

Thanks @rbrisita for your reply

but please can you clarify that. I'm Android and esp32 developer, my knows around Python is only for some things. Right now I have Python 3.9.2 in my system, and I did the 01 guide to install it. But you mentioned that we should use pyenv better? that means first generate a env with python 3.10, and then run poetry into it?

[rbrisita]

Correct but unfortunately, I can't be much help with Android. I suggest trying to get a Debian based OS and boot from USB or SD Card. Look into a pyenv tutorial to better understand its usage.

[hpsaturn]

Sorry, maybe my message was not clear, but I'm using Debian. Please review my previous messages. I'm not using Android for this, I'm trying to this development runs in Debian for first time..
