Home Assistant Yellow: No Sound Output on Jabra USB Speaker & Wyoming Satellite Disconnects #4264
Description
Describe the issue you are experiencing
Hi there,
Trying to set up a Voice assistant using a HA Yellow CM5 and a Jabra 510. Setup all the add ons and integrations but realized no sound coming from Jabra. Seems there is an issue possibly with the OS in being able to deliver sound to the Jabra. See below.
Problem Description
• No audio output via Jabra Speak 510 USB on HA Yellow.
• aplay, paplay, and speaker-test commands fail with “no soundcards found” or “failed to open audio device” errors.
• Wyoming Satellite keeps disconnecting after wake-word detection, likely due to missing or failing audio backend.
• Microphone input works, but speaker output never plays any test sounds.
Expected Behavior
• Jabra Speak 510 USB should appear as a valid audio sink
• paplay, aplay, or speaker-test should play sound through Jabra
• Wyoming Satellite should stay connected and respond
Actual Behavior
• Commands fail with errors: “no soundcards found”, “failed to open audio device”, or “cannot get card index”
• Wyoming Satellite logs: server disconnected repeatedly after wake word
• No sound output at all
Troubleshooting Tried
• Checked pactl list short sinks → Jabra appears, but output fails
• Restarted PipeWire/PulseAudio (pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio --start) → command not found on HA OS
• Verified ALSA modules loaded (snd_usb_audio, etc.)
• Tested different USB ports → no change
• Volume set to 100% in alsamixer
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanking you in advance
