Anyone ? I use pulse on ubuntu 16.04, connected to usb Need help, please !
Which firmware do you use? The default one, or the raw 8 channels one? Do you be able to use audacity to record audio through the usb mic array on Ubuntu?
Hello, some new tests.: on sox, the record is very bad on arecord it's better ! Why ? different drivers ?
on audacity, sometimes record is clear, and sometimes a bit noizzy, and after nearly 2 seconds of silence, noize appears ! ??
sox can do resampling, remixing and etc. The audio recorded by sox may not be the raw audio.
Maybe it's a problem of IO mode. arecord uses epoll mode (event based), while sox (or audacity on ubuntu) uses block mode to read audio. The epoll mode is more efficient.
Hello, Xiogyihui. here is a more example : arecord -v -D hw:1 -f S24_3LE -r 16000 -c2 s.wav http://dl.free.fr/t44UX0H2E
firmware : last 8 channels. Now, can't change firmware (linux/win10) System use the driver respeaker, but both dfu don't see usb product !
mic array leds light on even when there is no sound, anytimes. when recording, if Direction leds is on (3 leds), I will always have noise. When I pass a long time, speaking in every mics, I can have mic array direction leds off.
Boring !! This mic is unusable for me !!! (and I put a big hope in this product !) I bought it for nearly 6-8 months !
another test : after a small time of direction leds off, I speak. Correct leds light on, but for 10s. I start again, it continue ! video : https://www.grosfichiers.com/XQHmZ6Dq8axpy?tk=3hxXVFVfNrv
New test with your last 8ch dfu updated. :

A mic is defected ?? when I run audacity, and rec, i try to speak around the mic array. On audacity, at one moment, the line produce a visual noise (front mic, near screw hole)
Help, urgent
You record an audio with arecord -v -f S16_LE -c 8 -r 16000 audio-8ch-16bit-16k.wav
, and open the audio file with audacity to check if any mic is broken.
Using audacity to directly record audio may have issue on some computers.
@xiongyihui hello, command done. see audio file. http://dl.free.fr/mDGpo9R3i
It seems that at least 1 mic doesn't work nice ! 3 mics produce sound ! What should I do ? (The mic array is fixed on top of my robot head, and never subject to static electricity ! ) bast. Vincent
@xiongyihui, thanks for support. problem solved.
Hi all, my micarray connected on windows10 produce a very clear record, I can say perfect !!!
But on ubuntu 16.04, each record is very noizzy !! tested on terminal sox command, or on audacity.
even without sound, the recording line is moving, producing too much noise !!
What could be the problem ? (it works perfectly on windows10)
Mic array tested on 2 differents computers (one ubuntu, and the other ubuntu/win)
installed : pip install pocketsphinx webrtcvad pip install pyaudio respeaker --upgrade
