I had this exact error message when trying to run flite (TTS software, got with "apt install flite" in the usual manner) from within a C program with the system() command, on a Pi500.

I got it working by creating the file /etc/asound.conf and putting in the following 2 lines:

defaults.pcm.card 1

defaults.ctl.card 1

(No vertical space between those lines.)

I rebooted the Pi500 and it worked.

Reasons:
  • Whitelisted phrase (-1): it worked
  • No code block (0.5):
  • Low reputation (1):
