Buffering not alive, stop recording

[benlhy]

Hello, when I start Sopare's endless training mode, it always dies after I say one or two words with the error:

INFO:sopare.recorder:Buffering not alive, stop recording
INFO:sopare.recorder:stop endless recording

I followed the tutorial provided: https://www.bishoph.org/step-by-step-raspberry-pi-offline-voice-recognition-with-sopare/

I am using a Raspberry Pi 3

This is an info and not an error message.

Do you start with the endless loop option? Otherwise it is intended to stop . If you start with the "-l" option please turn on the debug mode on and post the messages that show up.

I did start with the -l option. Unfortunately I ran into this new error where I have some trouble training it. It is able to listen just fine however.

This is all about ALSA and nothing from SOPARE.

Clean your ALSA configuration and get rid of the clutter as any real error messages - not that there are any - would swamp in this mess.
