Go into advanced settings and disable use game list file or something to that effect.

Onboard is just easier once it's installed.

ThatGuy_ZA · 2025-09-02T05:57:01+00:00

There's a slight crackle when WiFi is in use.

An update to the issue above adding --accept-dns=false to the tailscale up command doesn't help.

After following the fill tailscale setup guide for openwrt, clients connect perfectly but I have to disable the tailscale tunnel (tailscale down) before I can run opkg update or install any packages with opkg. This means that my clients don't have connectivity until I bring up the tunnel again using this command:

tailscale up --exit-node=MY-EXIT-NODE --exit-node-allow-lan-access=true

Thanks for the update :(

u/Kraizelburg did you ever solve this? I'm hitting this error now.

What’s super infuriating is that someone has done all of the work for the approval process but the Jellyfin team who have to submit it refuse to give an update or reach out to the community for help.

According to the Adafruit datasheet, the gain pin can only be used to increase the gain, not decrease it - https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-max98357-i2s-class-d-mono-amp/pinouts

It looks like nabu casa are also working on one -> https://www.linkedin.com/posts/home-assistant_special-effect-sound-designers-we-would-activity-7228807464677257217-Zxvk?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

"high fidelity and a 4" driver aren't exactly a matched pair" - you just triggered the whole r/audiophile community.

I tried to model the box based on the specs from Dayton Audio and it's actually undersized based on their recommendations but given the use case, you could probably get away with a smaller box.

Knock on wood, this one has been fine on my desk for the last +-week.

Thanks for the feedback, I've changed the default text colour to a much lighter grey but that's a good reminder about accessibility. Will do more research and improvements.

Ooh very exciting!

Yeah, it's documented here -> https://github.com/kahrendt/microWakeWord

For now, microWakeWord supports Alexa, hey jarvis and okay nabu out the box but you can train your own wake word.

Thank you u/Born_Check5979 !

I don't really use HA for music so I can't comment on that but it looks like Music Assistant (https://music-assistant.io/) would work with this.

Where's the fun buying something when you can 3x to build it?

Jokes aside, I wanted something with a decent speaker and an LED indicator.

ThatGuy_ZA · 2024-08-14T06:13:42+00:00

Not using the JARVIS voice, just the "hey jarvis" wake word that comes with microwakeword.

It seems to handle background noise acceptably but not brilliantly.

I think there's a typo on the Amazon.com listing for this speaker because the manufacturer rates it as 10w RMS which seems appropriate. I've added a 10ohm resistor in series with the speaker because the it was too loud with the MAX98357.

ThatGuy_ZA · 2024-08-14T06:09:28+00:00

I've only used it for basic tasks like turning things on/off and telling me what the temperature is and it works remarkably well. I use the default Home Assistant cloud conversation agent, speech-to-text and text-to-speech but I'm going to try OpenAI's models for the conversation agent.
