Errors running auditok

[amsehili]

Just ignore those messages, there isn't an easy way to get rid of them (follow this link to find out more about them).

Also you can redirect standard error to /dev/null (auditok [OPTIONS] 2> /dev/null)

It's detecting the whole input signal as an audio event (as chunks of 5 seconds because default value of -m is 5). This is because default value of energy threshold is too low for what you microphone is recording as silence. Use a higher valuer for energy (option -e) and/or reduce the input volume of the microphone from your system's settings.

If you have matplotlib installed, you can plot the signal and the energy threshold:

auditok -e 55 -M 7 -p

This will acquire 7 seconds of data and plot signal, threshold and detections once it's done.
