Body:
Hi everyone,
I’m running Home Assistant OS on HA Yellow and trying to get basic sound output working through a Jabra SPEAK 510 USB speaker before integrating TTS or Wyoming Satellite.
So far:
- Wyoming Satellite detects the mic fine (PulseAudio), but no audio output works.
- aplay, paplay, and direct ALSA tests all produce no sound even though the Jabra device shows as available.
- pactl list short sinks lists the Jabra correctly, but tests fail with:
no soundcards found
cannot open audio device
- I’ve tried:
ha audio default output --name "alsa_output.usb-0b0e_Jabra_SPEAK_510_USB_XXXXX.analog-stereo"
paplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
speaker-test -t sine -f 440
Plus full HA OS reboots, different USB ports, and volume unmuted → still silent.
What I See in Logs
- The Jabra device shows under ha audio info, but Wyoming Satellite logs show constant disconnect/reconnect cycles:
Waiting for wake word
Server disconnected
Server set: XXXXXXXX
- Volume resets on the Jabra device (LED ring drops to one light) even though it’s set to 100% in HA.
What I Need Help With
- Is there a known issue with USB audio output on HA Yellow ?
- Should HAOS audio (PulseAudio/PipeWire) work out-of-the-box for USB speakers, or does HA Yellow need extra configuration?
- Any working configs or steps to make basic audio output work on HA Yellow before using TTS/Wyoming Satellite?
I can share full logs if needed.
Thanks in advance! Mike
