jarvis: Expression 'paTimedOut' failed in 'src/os/unix/pa_unix_util.c', line: 387

i use snowboy to trigger and google to stt

most of the time trigger and recognitions works excellent but sometimes trigger (snowboy) doesn’t start and it gives this error:

Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory Cannot connect to server request channel jack server is not running or cannot be started Expression ‘paTimedOut’ failed in ‘src/os/unix/pa_unix_util.c’, line: 387 Expression ‘PaUnixThread_New( &stream->thread, &CallbackThreadFunc, stream, 1., stream->rtSched )’ failed in ‘src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c’, line: 2998 Expression ‘pthread_join( self->thread, &pret )’ failed in ‘src/os/unix/pa_unix_util.c’, line: 441

all log is like this: (i use rpi3 + logitech c270 webcam)
