Wrong driver - why do you have a USB audio driver installed? The 4-mic device in this repo is connected via the 40-pin hat. There are two 4-mic devices supported by this driver - a linear shape one and a square looking one, both mounted on top on the pi via the 40-pin hat. There is a picture of at least one of them if not both in the front.
There is a picture in the front with both of them. If your device looks like one of those, you have installed the wrong software, not the code here, and you should follow the install procedure here. If your device does not look like one of those, then you have simply come to the wrong place, and you should go where you got your device and your software from, and seek help there.
Hey hintak, thanks for your quick reply. I assumed the board 4-mic hat was the same as their consumer sold 4-mic hat just in a case i am using the 4-mic hat array they put into a single device https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/ReSpeaker-USB-Mic-Array/ i didnt think they would use different drivers for the same board wrapped in a case.
Told you already - different device, different driver. If you don't believe my word, what else can I say? Half (really, more than half) of the driver code is about connectivity. USB connection is definitely not 40-pin hat.
And it is not even the same device wrapped in a different case/connection. Did you even look at the picture at the front and compare?
holy dude, relax, respeaker sells a 4-mic hat array dev board and a 4-mic hat array in a case using usb. I was led to the respeaker github https://github.com/respeaker/seeed-voicecard which led me to your repo as an updated version to use since respeaker quit supporting their product. My mistake and sorry to question your superiority over all things respeaker.
my mistake for not being a linux coding guru like yourself and trying to learn new things. I bow down to your intellect. Sorry to have wasted your time.
I'll repeat your own url for you https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/ReSpeaker-USB-Mic-Array/ - thar uses linux's generic USB audio driver, not the code here. Hardware-wise , that has a XVF-3000. The 4-mics devices here uses either one ac108 or a pair of ac108 plus a ac101. Please go away. You are in the wrong place. And, I don't work for seeedstudio.
Hello @HinTak I appreacite you taking the time to continue development on seed devices. I have been scouring the web for the past week trying to get my 4-mic hat array working on the bullseye rasp OS, Ive tried both 32 and 64 bit versions, I finally decided to stick with the 32 bit hoping for better compatibility but to now avail. I am using your repo now and although the system does recognize the drivers I cant for the life of me find a proper command to get it to record any audio.
I even tried to pump data into chatgpt since it is aware of respeaker and its products it claims but that gpt is becoming dumber and dumber by the day it seems. Here are a few details to my setup:
arecord -L
gives meI noticed when I try to run a simple arecord command i get a
Channels count non available
I did learn that when i use 6 channels the command get a bit fartherchatgpt suggested i create a
.asoundrc
file with this for its contentsIve tried to install audacity as one forum reply suggested but even then it can see the respeaker device in the dropdowns but when i hit the record button it goes from "stopped" to quickly record immediately back to stopped. I am stumped and ready to toss this thing in the trash im getting so frustrated trying to get it working on this PI. when I first got the device i plugged it into my windows machine and it works great. so I know the device works.
any tips or help would be most appreciated
oh i also had gpt help make me a script to check audio devices using pyaudio:
but it spits out a bunch of garble i dont really understand and when entere into gpt it thinks im trying to forge id numbers or some stupid response it gave me lol
------ not of the same for 3 more pages ------- and at the bottom this stuff
Have you seen or come across any of this or am I cursed? lol :(
