Are things not working as expected?
- Checkout the [general troubleshooting section for Assist](/voice_control/troubleshooting/).
- You think there is a problem with noise or volume? Checkout the procedure below.
### Tweaking the ATOM Echo configuration
1. Make sure you have [access to your configuration files](/common-tasks/os/#configuring-access-to-files).
2. Edit the general configuration:
- Access the `config` folder and open the `configuration.yaml` file.
- Enter the following text:
```yaml
assist_pipeline:
debug_recording_dir: /share/assist_pipeline
```
3. Save the changes and restart Home Assistant.
4. Make sure you have the [Samba add-on installed](/common-tasks/os/#configuring-access-to-files).
5. On your computer, access your Home Assistant server via Samba.
- Navigate to `/share/assist_pipeline`.
- For each voice command you gave, you will find a subfolder with the audio file in `.wav` format.
6. Listen to the audio file of interest.
7. Adjust noise suppression and volume, if needed:
- Access the `config` folder and open the `esphome/m5stack-atom-echo-wake-word.yaml` file.
- Find the `voice_assistant` section.
- If the audio is too noisy, increase the `noise_suppression_level` (max. 4).
- If the audio is too quiet, increase either the `auto_gain` (max. 31) or the `volume_multiplier` (no maximum, but a too high value will cause distortion eventually).
8. Collecting the debug recordings impacts your disk space.
- Once you have found a configuration that works, delete the folder with the audio files.
- In the `configuration.yaml` file, delete the `assist_pipeline entry` and restart Home Assistant.
