Known good hardware stacks

[jritsema]

I have a custom AI Agent HTTP API that I want to put a voice interface on top of. OVOS looks like a good open source software stack to build this on. I've seen the supported devices page, but it would be great if there was a list of known hardware stacks that people have proved work well (I haven't found many examples online). For example, a Raspberry Pi 4, 8Gb with a particular microphone and speaker configuration. Is there something like this out there?

Most of the USB microphone will work as long as they are supported by the Linux kernel.

Thanks for the quick response. That's helpful to know about USB microphone compatibility.

I completely understand that most Linux-compatible USB mics should work. What I'm hoping to find are some real-world examples of complete setups that people have successfully built - something like "Raspberry Pi 4 + USB Mic Model X + Speaker Y worked great for me." and ideally a video demonstrating the end experience.

As someone new to voice AI hardware, having a few proven configurations would give me confidence in my hardware choices and help avoid any unexpected compatibility issues during setup. I found the SmartGic YouTube channel which has some demos, but I'm wondering if there are other community resources where people share their working builds?

No worries if this doesn't exist yet. I know documentation takes time to build up in open source projects. Just thought I'd ask in case there's a community forum or wiki I missed!

I don't think we have a page for that not a bad idea but might not be easy to maintain as we will not be able to test the hardware at each OVOS/Linux/Kernel releases.

FYI; Smart'Gic is my YouTube channel.
