Not working properly on CachyOS Linux.

Whenever I run the program and try to speak the result always says "You."

I'm not really that knowledgeable, but from asking ChatGPT the errors you see are probably related to the audio handling of the OS and not RealtimeSTT. You can see the full answer here if interested.

Whenever I run the program and try to speak the result always says "You."

I'm pretty sure that's a whisper hallucination when trying to transcribe silence, which reinforces ChatGPT's diagnosis.

You might also want to supply some more info about your hardware and software configuration. Especially:

• python version
• CUDA Toolkit version (if applicable)
• GPU model (if applicable)
• pytorch version & configuration (CPU/CUDA XX.X/ROCm 6.2)
• whether you're using conda or pip
• which script of the scripts you're using and how you have it configured.

is CUDA Toolkit really required to use cuda? I mean, pytorch seems work fine without installing these toolkit on my system, so I just wondering:

$  python
Python 3.12.7 (main, Oct  1 2024, 11:15:50) [GCC 14.2.1 20240910] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import torch
>>> torch.cuda.is_available()
True
>>> torch.cuda.device_count()
1
>>> torch.cuda.current_device()
0
>>> torch.cuda.get_device_name(0)
'NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU'

Oh nvm, I think it required because the program need a cuda shared library, so I ended up install it from arch package repository anyway.

EDIT:
but wait, the nvidia python package already have it?? found it on /home/RealtimeSTT/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/nvidia/cudnn/lib/libcudnn.so.9, so why the program can't found it? Unable to load any of {libcudnn_ops.so.9.1.0, libcudnn_ops.so.9.1, libcudnn_ops.so.9, libcudnn_ops.so}

EDIT:
ah, turns out I need to specify the path on LD_LIBRARY_PATH
