I have last HA version on Raspberry Pi 5.
I connected a usb speaker that also has a microphone.
Using Assist Microphone the output sound is fine but it seems that no sound is received from the mic.
I’m trying to debug this but I’m not sure it’s supposed to work.
Anyway has successfully managed this configuration?

The Assist Microphone app is a bit flaky, It is based on Wyoming satellite which has now been deprecated so its unlikely to get more direct updates... However the project that replaced Wyoming satellite is called Linux Voice Assistant and is in active development. The plan is eventually to port Assist Microphone over to it, This is highlighted in the voice backlog-issue tracker HERE.

For the moment if you want to run voice on the same rpi as the HA server then my recommendation is to move away from HAOS and instead using a standard OS and a container install. This will then mean that you can run the current version of LVA alongside it which should allow you to get better audio/voice functionality.

This does mean that any apps (formally add-ons) will need to be run separately in their own containers and updates will be a little more manual. So depending on your setup it might be a bit of work to get things up and running.
