Hello again!
It seems there are some permission problems with the basic setup of Mycroft on DietPi. Following a basic installation and changing the ownership of the skills folder (according to https://dietpi.com/forum/t/problems-with-installing-mycroft/4606/4 )
speaker-test works fine. The mycroft speaker test does not work.

If I start mycroft-cli-client and give it a command (for example, “set timer”), it will ask me for how long the timer should be set, and then I can respond with my voice and it understands, so it’s not a problem here. It’s just for the wake word.
After some discussion on the mycroft forum, it seems the problem is that mycroft (the user that was installed during the installation of Mycroft) can’t access pulseaudio, or there is some problem with default devices.
