Error opening RawStream: Invalid sample rate [PaErrorCode -9997] google assistant SDK on RPi

Question

I'm trying to install google assistant SDK on rpi by following this link "https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/guides/service/python/embed/run-sample"

While executing this command googlesamples-assistant-pushtotalk --project-id my-dev-project --device-model-id my-model I'm getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):

The issue was addressed and replied here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43958779/google-assistant-sdk-on-raspberrypi-3-sounddevice-portaudioerror

I tested the solution and it works for me as well.

Just change the .asoundrc to:

pcm.!default {
 type asym
 playback.pcm {
         type plug
         slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
 }
 capture.pcm {
         type plug
         slave.pcm "hw:1,0"
 }
}
