Thank you, I'll try those suggestions when I get home.

I increased the VAD to 750, and it seems to be working OK now.
I'll try it for a few days and report back if there's still a problem.

I still think that the microphone should be disabled while the speaker is active, since this issue will continue to come up as more people start using Willow.

Thanks for the help.

I still think that the microphone should be disabled while the speaker is active, since this issue will continue to come up as more people start using Whisper.

My gut feeling says this will be too timing sensitive and actually make the experience worse, but we're going to test it locally and make a decision based on those test results.

You can download a Willow image that mutes the mic before playing wake confirmation tone and unmutes afterwards: https://github.com/toverainc/willow/actions/runs/7223902325

You can OTA update it via WAS following the instructions here: https://github.com/toverainc/willow-application-server#upgrade-with-your-own-willow-builds

As I suspected, mute is too slow and in my testing it's not a good experience at all. However I've never actually used the wake confirmation tone, so I've no previous experience to compare it against. Interested in getting feedback from others.
