how to use AS ESP32-S3 voice assistant in home assistant

[biofects]

Ok, maybe someone can help me on 2 issues


1. I added volume control and still sounds really low. no mater on if I set it to 100 or not
2. I tried to add continuous conversation and that is not working

Is there a way to use the wakeword on the system and not the micro wakeword. I have created my own and would like to use it

about the volume issue, you can try to download this internet radio arduino code to test:

only need replace your router's wifi ssid and password. check whether volume can be changed with different value.
