Another Jasper failure: (audio)

[Charles Winthrop]

Hello all. I've been trying for 3 days to get this working, and it keeps failing with various audio errors.

Yes, I followed the post-image instructions to the letter.

Here's the debug info:

If anyone can tell me how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise, time to find a different project.

Thanks!

It appears your sample rate and chunk may need to be adjusted for the mic you are using.

• Have you tried adjusting these? 
  
• Also...
  
• What branch are you using?
  
• Master/Dev
• What Mic are you using? link?
• If you have changed the sample/chunk what are they?
