Unable to setup ReSpeaker on Raspberry Pi 4B

[Jaen_Kao]

Hi all,

I’m having problems with operating the ReSpeaker on the Raspberry Pi Model 4B with a ReSpeaker 4-Mic Linear Array Kit. The operating system is Raspberry Pi Legacy released on 2022/04/04, and the connection is shown below. I’ve also tried it on a Raspberry Pi OS before, but it still fails so I tried using a different version for testing. I’ve followed the steps on the seeed wiki, but somehow it still won’t connect to the microphone. When typing arecord -L on the terminal, I get the following output message, which is different from what is shown on the page.

pi@raspberrypi:~/tdoa/mic_array/seeed-voicecard $ arecord -L
default
Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server
null
Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
jack
JACK Audio Connection Kit

usbstream:CARD=b1

Is there anyone with similar issues or any ideas on solving the connection error?

Thanks in advance!

Hi
I’m having the same problem, Raspberry Pi4B with ReSpeaker 4 mic array. Followed the Wiki, got the LED’s and the I2C to work ok but arecord -L gives much the same data as above. Anyone any ideas?

I’m sorry for the trouble caused by the product. Maybe you can do something like this to solve your problem: First, you need to re-burn Raspberry Pi oS (64-bit) in your Raspberry PI. Then, follow the Wiki steps. When you perform to Getting Started - Install driver - Step 1. Get the Seeed voice card source code, install and reboot, Please replace the URL after git clone with https://github.com/HinTak/seeed-voicecard, as shown in the picture: [image] Hope this solution solves your problem.
