Can't use mic in linux - ALSA errors

[Raskoll2]

Got some shenanigans with Alsa happening. I'm on pop os latest update, with a mic plugged in through a Focusrite interface.

Which leads to a NoneType error

Traceback (most recent call last):

My mic works in other apps so idrk what the problem is.

Also under __transcribe:

if self.english:
                    result = self.audio_model.transcribe(audio_data,language='english',suppress_tokens="")
                    predicted_text = result["text"] #This was missing
