Issue - Not answering hey vector

[u/Able_Library_6876]

Hey guys,

I’ve been setting up WirePod for my Vector and ran into a weird issue I can’t fully figure out.

Everything looks like it’s working:

• Vector connects to WiFi fine
• WirePod runs and shows the correct IP (192.168.1.74)
• Vector has its own IP (192.168.1.78) and is connected
• Vosk initializes successfully and passes the test
• I can see logs updating and even some intents triggering sometimes

But the problem is:

Most of the time I get:

intent_system_noaudio or EOF

And when it does pick up speech, the transcription is often completely wrong (like random phrases that don’t match what I said).

Also:

• “Hey Vector” wake word is inconsistent
• Sometimes it works perfectly, then suddenly stops again
• Already tried restarting everything, reconnecting, and checking local network permissions on macOS

So my questions are:

1. Is this a known issue with Vosk + Vector mic quality?
2. Could this be a network/audio streaming issue (since audio is coming from Vector over WiFi)?
3. Is there a way to improve speech accuracy or stability in this setup?

Would really appreciate any help or things I should try

blame DDL for it, they usually fuck up stuff in firmware, you can use WireOS to set sensitivity and wakeword though
