tj.play() specifies plughw:0,0?? Can't hear TJBot voice with USB sound card

[mauer15317]

Everything is working, except TJBot voice is not heard. I have a USB sound card (plugable) with mic and speakers plugged in.

Edited /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf to set defaults.ctl.card and defaults.pcm.card both equal to 1

speaker-test -c2 [success!]
arecord --format cd MicTest2.wav -V mono [success!]
aplay MicTest2.wav [success!]
sudo node test.speaker.js [fail - no sound heard]
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav [success!]

noticed from verbose logging that tj.play() specifies device=plughw:0,0
my usb sound card is at plughw:1,0

can I get tj.play() to use plughw:1,0?

Hi @mauer15317

You can add speakerDeviceId to your configuration and specify your sound card.

var tjConfig = {
    log: {
        level: 'verbose'
    },
     speak: {
         speakerDeviceId: "plughw:1,0" // plugged-in USB card 1, device 0;  
    }
};

-V.
