After installing then running 'cliprecord.py' I get the following error: ValueError: No output device matching 'default'

Any ideas on what to check?

This does indeed work so the HW seems to work its just the cliprecord.py does not seem to work correctly.

Check aplay -l and aplay -L these should give you an idea of what output devices you have.

Then try editing this line: https://github.com/pimoroni/pirate-audio/blob/d9d7cadf1686860dcbfe42b74d34454942cba2d4/clip-recorder/cliprecord.py#LL354C30-L354C30

To:

recordamajig = Recordamajig(output_device="your_device")

Might be that a Raspberry Pi OS update has changed the device names.

default is listed with the -L but it doesnt find it in the python script, I dont think I have any devices listed that have an actual output?

[7sharp9]

If I list the devices with python3 -m sounddevice

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python3 -m sounddevice

@7sharp9 did you ever figure this out. I am having the same problem
