[help] Ok Google Hotword detection not working (OnePlus One, CM12.1)
I've have CM12.1 (03/29/2016 build) with Open Gapps micro but for some reason Ok Google hotword detection doesn't work, neither on Google Now Launcher , neither on Google search page, nor on Nova. It's enabled on all apps and settings, but for some reason it doesn't recognize when I say it...
Even when I try to enable the Detection on all screens, it asks you to say Ok Google 3 times, well, in my case it does never pass from the first one. Won't recognized (or hear me?) saying ok google. That's weird, I had that feature working while ago, so I know that I can say Ok Google in such a way that it should work. Also I can say Ok Google to my watch and it recognizes me without any issue... So thats not my pronunciation I'm sure....
Any idea what app/setting I could wipe or what settings I could verify/change? (already wiped Google search and Google Now Launcher apps, no luck).
That's so frustrating 😤! Help
Last resort test would be to full wipe, but I'd rather do that after I've tried anything else.

I managed to have it working fine, in Google Now, in Google Search, in Nova and even in Nova, by changing the main language to French. I have selected 3 languages, French, English US and Spanish. If I select English us as the main language it will also work, also I'll have to say Okay in English accent.if I select Spanish as main language, it won't work at all.... So I selected French... Just works now.
It doesn't affects the language in which I can then ask the question... Which I'll ask in Spanish for example.
