Really new to HA. Installed has on old laptop. Got around not having Uefi bios. Trying to get whisper working but it says “Your CPU does not support AVX”. Says it’s running then it’s not. It’s been suggested that I use my pi3 as a whisper satellite. Any thoughts? Will this work.
#Whisper as satellite ?

whisper is "speech to text". if your cpu doesnt support it then it may try to run anyway but mostly it fails as you are seeing.
a whisper satellite is usually a device that has a microphone and pushes the audio data back to the whisper server (which is failing for you)
could you run a whisper server on a rpi3 instead? in theory yes but in reality no. even with a tiny model it would be extremely slow.
at this point your two best options as i see it are:
change the hardware you are using for your HA server to something more modern
or
use a cloud system to process your audio. e.g. "home assistant cloud" by nabu casa

Thanks for the information. Will have to go cloud until I can get the bucks fir some better hardware.
