unable to open slave

[el3ctron]

Steps to reproduce

i try to run the code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys, os
import time
import speech_recognition as sr

r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:                # use the default microphone as the audio source
    audio = r.listen(source)                   # listen for the first phrase and extract it into audio data

try:
    print("You said " + r.recognize(audio))    # recognize speech using Google Speech Recognition
except LookupError:                            # speech is unintelligible
    print("Could not understand audio")

Expected behaviour

Run program without error and recognise speech.

Actual behaviour

What happened instead?

ALSA lib pcm_dsnoop.c:606:(snd_pcm_dsnoop_open) unable to open slave ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1029:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave ALSA lib pcm.c:2266:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.rear ALSA lib pcm.c:2266:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.center_lfe ALSA lib pcm.c:2266:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.side ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1029:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory Cannot connect to server request channel jack server is not running or cannot be started JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for 4294967295, skipping unlock JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for 4294967295, skipping unlock

now i start jackd and message is:

and stay locked, no more answer.
