the problem seems to be the following:

npm ERR! gyp: name 'mpg123_cpu' is not defined while evaluating condition 'mpg123_cpu=="arm_nofpu"' in deps/mpg123/mpg123.gyp while loading dependencies of binding.gyp while trying to load binding.gyp

i don't know how to fix it but at least i think i found the issue

yes, there is a package called speaker-arm64 on npm. Try that one instead

Same problem, @galaxieof did you find any solution?

[imsunburnt]

Fix from @iQuickDev worked for me.
Running on Raspberry Pi 3B+ with 2023-12-05 Raspberry Pi OS 64 Bit Lite (Bullseye Lite 64 bit).
I did the following:
`sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev
npm install speaker-arm64

Then in my nodejs program:
const Speaker = require("speaker-arm64")
`
Testing with AWS Polly worked OK.

Thanks for the speaker-arm64 suggestion, worked great with @flat/lame to play mp3s on the raspberry pi 4.

Minimal Code

var fs = require('fs');
var lame = require('@flat/lame');
var Speaker = require('speaker-arm64');

fs.createReadStream(process.argv[2])
    .pipe(new lame.Decoder())
    .on('format', function (format) {
        this.pipe(new Speaker(format));
    });
