Hello,
I am running Picroft on Pi3B+ with ReSpeaker 4 Mic Array and Precise listener. I am really struggling with the Wake Word detection. It was working initially, but not extremely. During one of my debugging sessions I spoke the wake word 5+ times and since then Mycroft stopped responding to wake words at all.
The micrphone and the language processing seems to be working as I can set timers if I initiate communication via CLI. This looks similar to the issue described [here](https://community.openconversational.ai/t/mycroft-not-responding-to-wake-word/6561/2).
Please advise.

Have you changed wake words? Which listener are you using? What’s in the voice.log?

False alarm, it seems. I cannot reproduce this any more. Wake word with precise is working again, but I am pretty sure that this morning, when I botted Mr M I wasn’t able wake him with my utterances.
Thanks for a reply and for a tip to check `voice.log`! To answer haven’t changed the wake word but I played with the listener and moved between PocketSphinx and Precise prior to the freeze. I restarted couple of times too.
