Using Audio with Google Voice Kit

[Gabor503]

So I have the Google Voice Kit installed and it works great, but I get no web audio when using Chromium or anywhere else when I am doing anything other than using the Voice Kit. I suspect I need to get a driver to make the voice kit's speaker work with other applications, but where can I find it and how do I go about installing it? Kind of a newbie here....

On my AIY it simply appears as a soundcard

Code: Select all

pi@hitchhiker:~ $ aplay -l

I guess I should clarify something, I have 2 SD cards, one with the AIY image that's the one I used to configure the Voice Kit, the other running the Raspbian OS image from raspberrypi.org. web audio does not work on either ( other than the Google Assistant audio output, so I know the hardware works ) See terminal with Raspbian image. Any advice is much appreciated.
