RPi 4 with Logitech C930e webcam microphone as capture device #248

Hello and thank you for this awesome project.

I'm using a fresh Raspberry Pi 4 to run the project on 300 leds which I'm powering with a 5V 60A psu. sudo nano strandtest.py is working as it should. If I run arecord -l

List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices card 1: C930e [Logitech Webcam C930e], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

However when I try to run sudo python ./audio-reactive-led-strip/python/visualization.py

Additionally arecord test.wav results in

  • S16_LE

What do you suggest me to focus on or try in order to resolve the problem?

cyberpok commented 4 years ago

Well the fact that I wasn't able to record audio on the go made me suspect that my asound.conf was the problem. After some failed experiments I gave the configuration on this post a try and set the asound.conf to

pcm.!default {
  type plug
  slave {
    pcm "hw:1,0"
  }
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 1
}

Right now it works flawlessly, no delays or anything. However I get the following on terminal:

Again thank you so much, this is amazing! I'll add 600 more LEDs and see if the project can handle 900 LEDs on the RPi. So long for now!
