Wake word sound is played at low volume

[lowlyocean]

wake_word_triggered.flac seems to be very quiet compared to the other sounds that are played

You didn't try switching to the old one? wake_word_triggered_old.wav?

[lowlyocean]

Both the old and new sounds appear to only play at low volume sometimes (not always). And this is when I test it in rapid succession - sometimes it's played quietly, sometimes loudly.

Maybe it's not playing at a lower volume, but instead not always playing the full sound (so that it only sounds quieter?)

Also, with both old and new sound, the wake word doesn't have any volume at all the very first time it's triggered.

Yeah... wakeup-sound is played after ducking. We are fixing that soon. We currently have a broken state in main which needs to be resoved first so we dont have to make changes for nothing when we probably need to revert some MR.

@omaramin-2000 im gonna fix that then.

I think this is the same behavior for the Voice PE as well which I think makes sense if there's a media playing, so it ducks the music first then play the wake word triggered sound.

I think Im experiencing this bug a lot after I made the wake sound 8x faster with the following command. The system isn't supposed to be playing anything besides the voice assistant itself.

ffmpeg -i wake_word_triggered.flac -filter:a "atempo=2.0,atempo=2.0,atempo=2.0" output.wav

Update here?

[lowlyocean]

I noticed that changing media player's volume in the Devices page will affect the volume of the wake up sound. Is that a bug?

I think this is the same behavior for the Voice PE as well which I think makes sense if there's a media playing, so it ducks the music first then play the wake word triggered sound.

But I think we agree that the wake word sound should not be ducked at the moment it's triggered, right? And probably this is something we should fix urgently because it is currently very difficult to tell when the satellite is listening or not?

Why does ducking affect the wakeup sound? It looks like the music player and the TTS player are separate MPVPlayer instances. Do those instances share a common application volume (set volume in one affects the other?) I would think they appear as different streams instead of one shared stream
