[audio_listener-1] ALSA lib error

[codingBigBird]

After getting some updates, My whisper can't run and it gives some errors when running
ros2 launch whisper_bringup bringup.launch.py.
And there is no audio_listener node on ros2 node list and the server doesn't run.
how to solve this issue?

Seems like you are having trouble running the audio driver

[codingBigBird]

Hi mhubii, thanks for reaching with me.
Yes I know this is the problem of audio driver, but there is a few solution on the internet. I tried 'https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7088672/pyaudio-working-but-spits-out-error-messages-each-time' but it did not work. Anything else I can do to fix the it?

[mhubii]

so essentially I have no experience with that sorry. But you need to be able and run this node for grabbing audio (also launched as part of the bringup package):

ros2 run audio_listener audio_listener

[codingBigBird]

Hi I solve the ALSA lib problem. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65079325/problem-with-alsa-in-speech-recognitionpython-3
But the server doesn't run in ros. Sorry about these questions I don't know so much about ROS2.

[mhubii]

No worries, maybe try pull the latest changes.

You can list nodes in terminal with ros2 node list.

You can run rqt_graph to observe the ROS 2 graph.
