Google assistant - Rspi 3 - "sounddevice.PortAudioError: Error querying device -1" - raspberry-pi3

Question

Installed google assistant sdk on raspi3, the speaker is a home mini bluetooth, it is paired and connected to raspi, played from youtube and it works! even google says it's connected!
However, when running command in terminal as (env) "googlesamples-assistant-pushtotalk --project-id (not going to paste ID) --device-model-id" I get the following:
/home/pi/env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/google/auth/crypt/_cryptography_rsa.py:22: CryptographyDeprecationWarning: Python 3.5 support will be dropped in the next release of cryptography. Please upgrade your Python.

sounddevice.PortAudioError: Error querying device -1
When using arecord -l or aplay -l in terminal, get the same message for both: "aplay: device_list:270: no soundcards found..."
Also, running test in terminal using "speaker-test -t wav", the test runs but no sound is working"
" speaker-test 1.1.3

*Keeps generating but with no sound."
Finally, going through sudo nano /home/pi/.asoundrc file, when connected to speaker is:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type bluealsa
device "x❌x❌x:x"
profile "a2dp"
}
}
ctl.!default {
type bluealsa
}
AND when going to "sudo nano /etc/asound.conf" it seems that it generates another code, when also connected to same speaker:
pcm.!default {
type asym
capture.pcm "mic"
playback.pcm "speaker"
}
pcm.mic {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type bluealsa device "x❌x❌x:x"
profile "sco"
}
}
pcm.speaker {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type bluealsa device "x❌x❌x:x"
profile "sco"
}
}
I tried copy/paste code of /etc/asound.conf into /home/pi/.asoundrc and run speaker-test -t wav, but i get:
speaker-test 1.1.3
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
WAV file(s)
ALSA lib bluealsa-pcm.c:680:(_snd_pcm_bluealsa_open) Couldn't get BlueALSA transport: No such device
Playback open error: -19,No such device"
So, whats the deal??
