Custom sounds not working with Assist Microphone?

Configuration Voice Assistant
1

HAOS, up to date.

I’ve been trying to change the default sounds on the Assist Microphone add-on and every path I try throws this in the logs:

/local/sounds/tada.wav does not exist
[13:39:07] INFO: Service exited with code 1 (by signal 0)

My files are in /local/sounds. I have no issues playing sounds stored there in automations and scripts with that path specified in YAML.

The default sound path for Assist Microphone is: /usr/src/sounds/*.wav

I’ve tried the following paths for my own sound(s):

/config/www/sounds/tada.wav
/www/sounds/tada.wav
/local/sounds/tada.wav
/sounds/tada.wav
http://my_local_IP:8123/local/sounds/tada.wav

Can I define a path in my configuration.yaml and/or can I configure it with YAML elsewhere? Is there a specific bit and sample rate that I must adhere to?

I assume you might have already found the solution by now, but since I was in the exact same situation, I thought I’d revive this post to share the solution in case it helps others.

The solution I found was simply to place my sounds in the /share/ directory.

I hope this helps!

Cheers!

I placed my custom .wav files in my Home Assistant /share/ directory.

For the custom sounds for Assist Microphone:

Did you enter:
/share/awake.wav or
share/awake

Or something different? I’m having problems getting my sounds played and couldn’t also find the original /usr/src/sounds/ directory even… any help appreciated and thx!

Hello,

I have configured the addon’s options with the following path: /share/mysound.wav

Hope it will help you :slight_smile:
