Hi all. I'm using ALSA to configure a dmic. My dmic only support format S32_LE but I also need support format S16_LE. arecord -D hw:0,4 --dump-hw-params Recording WAVE 'stdin' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono HW Params of device "hw:0,4": -------------------- ACCESS: RW_INTERLEAVED FORMAT: S32_LE ...... Available formats: - S32_LE If I understood correctly, If I use "plug" plugin, it create an automatic format-conversion. To do so, I create a custom asounf.conf using the "plug" plugin. pcm.!default { type asym playback.pcm { type plug slave.pcm "hw:0,0" } capture.pcm { type plug slave.pcm "hw:0,4" } For a quick example, I used the arecord command. First I use S32_LE and it works. arecord -r 16000 -f S32_LE -c 1 -d 3 rec.wav Recording WAVE 'rec.wav' : Signed 32 bit Little Endian, Rate 16000 Hz.... But when I try rec a audio with format S16_LE, It fails. arecord -r 16000 -f S16_LE -c 1 -d 3 rec.wav Recording WAVE 'rec.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 16000 Hz, Mono arecord: set_params:1361: Unable to install hw params: ACCESS: RW_INTERLEAVED FORMAT: S16_LE SUBFORMAT: STD SAMPLE_BITS: 16 FRAME_BITS: 16 CHANNELS: 1 RATE: 16000 PERIOD_TIME: 32000 PERIOD_SIZE: 512 PERIOD_BYTES: 1024 PERIODS: 6 BUFFER_TIME: 192000 BUFFER_SIZE: 3072 BUFFER_BYTES: 6144 Is it possible to make an automatic format conversion? Is there any way to solve this problem? _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
