Google Assistant on Raspberry Pi Zero

[Emad Mokhtar]

I followed your step and install the driver using your script. The google assistant service is running, I can hear the welcome (Hello) but after that nothing.

Update:

I installed the reseeed HAT on Raspberry Pi 3 and wake word is working. I wondering is it the processor power of the Zero can't handle this? and if yes, how to use the Raspberry Pi zero with push to talk via the button provided by the HAT?

The button is in GPIO 17

Pi Zero has an upstream audio issue that has not been fixed yet. Thats why i have left the Pi Zero pushbutton script untouched for sometime in GassistPi and have also removed the support for Pi Zero in this git.

Try this:
sudo nano /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf
Comment the autospawn (add a # infront of the autospawn line).
Also run this command
sudo rm /lib/udev/rules.d/91-pulseaudio-rpi.rules
Restart and see.

I will give it a try this weekend.

I will close this issue because I will stop using the zero borad
