No audio output, just the signal tone (input works!)

mimic is optional in the setup process, yet resides in /etc/mycroft/mycroft.conf (or the user equivalent) or is defaulted to if nothing is set - correct me if i’m wrong. Mimic isn’t found on your system, hence the tts problem.

LOG.info("Failed to find mimic at: " + BIN) BIN is the None thing

Reinstall it or switch to google or … (this would be a way to conf google up)
