 @gitter_ileben:matrix.org | seems like integrated Realtek Audio | 12:03:31 |
| @gitter_ileben:matrix.org | it's an enterprise Dell workstation | 12:03:59 |
 @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | Then that shouldn't be a problem. There's been issues with No good block received with Bluetooth devices. I'll see if I can do some digging. Meantime it might be best to open up an issue on kaldi-active-grammar and we will keep track of it there. | 12:04:56 |
| @gitter_ileben:matrix.org | I did copy-pasta my several months old checkout of caster though from the other PC ^__^''' | 12:05:56 |
| @gitter_ileben:matrix.org | hmm, now connected my Scarlett 2i2 audio interface, same error | 12:06:35 |
| @gitter_ileben:matrix.org | aargh... I probably did some extra hacks on my installed python libs on the old machine to make it work which I forgot to note :( | 12:08:13 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | That shouldn't make a difference with Caster. Caster has very little code that specific to kaldi. Sounddevice Is the audio library that is used by kaldi | 12:08:16 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | However good news, you can use Python 3 64-bit with kaldi. The latest version of caster also has the sleep mic functionality built in with some new commands. | 12:09:07 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | (edited) ... Python 3 64-bit ... => ... Python 3.8 64-bit ... | 12:09:22 |
| @gitter_ileben:matrix.org | yeah im just a bit wary of opening up issues when I'm using dependencies from caster/requirements.txt from months ago.... most of those libs are probably updated by now | 12:09:40 |
| @gitter_ileben:matrix.org | might try copying in latest requirements.txt and fire install again | 12:10:23 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | Sure let's try few of the things 1st on. However caster/requirements.txt don't touch outside of dragonfly anything related to kaldi | 12:10:24 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | The most important upgrade would be dragonfly python -m pip install dragonfly2[kaldi] --upgrade | 12:11:55 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | Then grab the latest model from https://github.com/daanzu/kaldi-active-grammar/releases | 12:13:23 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | If you want, I have some time today I can look at the issue firsthand through team viewer or something of the sort @ileben | 12:17:33 |
| @gitter_ileben:matrix.org | I've ran the dragonfly2[kaldi] update (no changes, all up-to-date), and got the latest model. Same error | 12:20:31 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | Yeah definitely an issue with the library. The only other option is to try with Python 3 fortunately you knew this fairly easily. Here's a semi-isolated Python install ready to go. Simply unzip and click the corresponding bat file. There is a readme but remember to delete settings folder when switching back and forth between this and your Caster primary setup.

| @gitter_ileben:matrix.org | It's getting late here so I have to go. Might have to look into this tomorrow. I have a sneaky feeling I fixed this in the past on the old PC somehow, but I really can't remember.... Thanks for the help. | 12:22:07 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | (edited) ... you knew this fairly ... => ... you do thisthis fairly ... | 12:22:08 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | (edited) ... do thisthis fairly ... => ... do tthis fairly ... | 12:22:28 |
| @gitter_ileben:matrix.org | yeah last time I reported a sounddevice bug + fix I was told it would be included in the next update, but that the next update would only be available for Python 3... | 12:23:00 |
| @gitter_ileben:matrix.org | might give that a try to I can switch to all the latest dependencies... However, I also remember hearing about some yet unresolved issues with kaldi and Python 3 so not sure how well that will go. | 12:23:59 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | Well get some rest! Perhaps @daanzu has some insights when he has a moment. | 12:27:13 |
| @gitter_ileben:matrix.org | For what it's worth, I've filed this daanzu/kaldi-active-grammar#41 | 12:46:19 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | FYI you can modify the bat python -m dragonfly load-directory . --engine kaldi --engine-options "model_dir=kaldi_model, vad_padding_end_ms=300, audio_auto_reconnect=False" List of kaldi list of parameters for engine configuration. | 12:46:19 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | Thanks! | 12:46:38 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | (edited) Thanks! => FYI you can modify the bat `python -m dragonfly load-directory . --engine kaldi --engine-options "model_dir=kaldi_model, vad_padding_end_ms=300, audio_auto_reconnect=False"`
List of kaldi [egine parameters](https://dragonfly2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kaldi_engine.html#engine-configuration) for configuration. | 12:48:33 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | (edited) ... kaldi [egine parameters](https://dragonfly2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kaldi_engine.html#engine-configuration) ... => ... kaldi [engine parameters](https://dragonfly2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kaldi_engine.html#engine-configuration) ... | 12:48:46 |
| @gitter_lexiconcode:matrix.org | @ileben You might try audio_self_threaded=False | 12:50:11 |
 @gitter_kendonb:matrix.org | @ileben try renaming your user folder to something else (i.e. backing it up and deleting it) and restarting caster | 19:05:17 |
