Aditya Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Armbianmonitor: http://ix.io/20OD Hi ! I am using Armbian_5.65_Orangepilite_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.78armbian deb stretch image on orange pi lite. Its working great for the most part, but it misses the starting portion of the audio. I have installed snips voice assistant on it and for some reason the speaker does not produce the confirmation sound output on hotword detection. But plays rest of the sound outputs after that for another 5 seconds or so. Missing the confirmation sound from a smart speaker is really annoying. Is that a bug? Is there a possible workaround? Is any way this can be solved properly? Please point me in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Your Armbian is quite old. Have you tried to use a more recent image? This issue may have been fixed in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the problem is I am using the board solely to run Snips AI and Snips has already mentioned on their website that they do not support debian buster yet. Only Deb Stretch is supported.

Werner Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I think for a simple test if a more recent image fixes the issue the running OS should not matter. Everyone should have spare sd cards for such situations Besides that Armbian has not been abandoned Stretch. Such images can still be built using the build script: https://github.com/armbian/build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think its fixed, because I also got this on Armbian Linux 5.3.8-sunxi package bsp-kernel[5.99.191102] u-boot[5.91] dtb[5.99.191102] firmware[5.98] config[5.98] on a OPi Zero. Also got this "problem" since over 2 years: Since then I use my old workaround from this old thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Thanks for the follow-up. It was a pure guess and I think it makes sense to support the most recent (stable/next) version of Armbian only to avoid talking over and over about may or may not already fixed issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later I tried the latest buster image- Armbian_5.91_Orangepilite_Debian_buster_next_4.19.59. But could not successfully run the software I wanted on that and hence could not test it. Maybe I would give it another try some day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can change the wav files in /usr/share/snips/assistant/custom_dialogue/sound/, but they will be overwritten after each update of the assistant.
