Please excuse the second post on this, maybe my first question wasn’t clear.
I have Picroft with raspeberry pi 3 and a ReSpeaker 2Mics pHAT.
I get this message when it boots up. “Couldn’t allocate mixer Alsaaudio error (unable to find mixer control master 0)”
Mic and speaker work when tested with ‘arecord -d 10 test. wav’ and ‘aplay test.wav’
Mycrfoft hears me and does his speech to text thing, but I get nothing form the speaker. If I plug headphones into the audio jack on the Pi I do get some sound (and very faint sound if speaker is connected).
Thanks for you reply
I have tried that, buy it does not seem to work I am not to able to save the setting. I think it just goes back to the default when I press esc to exit.

Thanks for the useful information @aaron57.
I also had a person who had a similar issue a couple of days ago.
All that I can think of is that alsamixer is not saving settings properly.
I have tried a couple of the solutions in the post, but I still can’t get alsa to save the settings even with ‘sudo alsamixer’.
My linux skills are not good enough to try the more complex solutions, I am not sure how to navigate to the files and do the necessary edits.
I do not know what to do to get this mycroft growling, Should I try to reload the whole operating system, or can somebody talk me through editing the alsa configuration?
I think I have covered that. I go to the alsa mixer gui, turn everything right up and hit esc to log out. I boot up mycroft and I still have no sound and when I go back to the alsa gui all the settings are the same as before I changed them. I think this is a coding issue, the gui does not seem to work.
Thanks

Hey Mycroft
Is it possible to flash a version of raspbian onto my Raspberry pi and then install Mycroft on top? I am familiar with linux window managers so I might have a better chance of sorting out the sound problem.
