Hi! I've been looking into how to record audio using arecord and the following audio card extension for Raspberry PI https://pinout.xyz/pinout/raspiaudio_audio_speakers_mic#. The guide in it seems to install snd_soc_googlevoicechat_soundcard driver and after recording for some minutes it throws this error: Dec 18 15:32:17 homepie pulseaudio[8048]: [alsa-sink-Google voiceHAT SoundCard HiFi voicehat-hifi-0] alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_avail() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 7022640 bytes (18288 ms). Dec 18 15:32:17 homepie pulseaudio[8048]: [alsa-sink-Google voiceHAT SoundCard HiFi voicehat-hifi-0] alsa-util.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_soc_googlevoicehat_soundcard'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.

Although after inspecting the provided log it seems that the Raspberry PI board is not included in the DMI, which is supposed to be BCM2835. I can't say anything else on on other details. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
