v5.5 Fork does not work with ReSpeaker 4-Mic Array #236
Comments

And reboot and? |
|
Nothing. |
|
It is working with the master branch But with an update, the kernel is also updated and then it no longer works |
|
What is your current kernel version? |
|
@HinTak I'm running into this issue as well. I'm on Raspbian Buster with kernel 5.4.51-v7l+. Looking at the journal for seeed-voicecard it is exiting with a failure right these messages on you v5.5 branch arecord -l and arecord -L both look good to me. Switching to master forced a kernel downgrade to 4.19 but things work. Let me know if you want additional debugging info. |

@DerT94 I updated my v5.5 branch yesterday with I think a fix. Give it a try? |
|
@HinTak git clone command: Rapsberry Pi 3 + 2-MIC HATSame as in #239 Installation output sudo journalctl -xe Rapsberry Pi 3 + 4-MIC HATSame as in #239 The microhpnes do not work. Installation output sudo journalctl -xe Rapsberry Pi 4 + 2-MIC HATSame as in #239 Installation output sudo journalctl -xe Rapsberry Pi 4 + 4-MIC HATDoes not Work Installation output |
|
@DerT94 your install procedure for the last entry, Rapsberry Pi 4 + 4-MIC HAT, was wrong - you must run inside the source directory, not elsewhere. As for the service start failure, that seems to be just from the amixer line - I picked up the "-c 1" change from somebody else. Need revisit. |
|
@DerT94 I pushed a fix to v5.5 for #239 - I think it is the mixer line - you have a 3rd audio device connected, besides the built-in pi on-board Broadcom audio and the seeed studio, or did you disable the on-board audio? Anyway, it looks like your 2-mics device is working okay, but one of your two 4-mic setup was a user error. So if you could post |
|
I just tested v5.5 with my 4mic linear array and it works. No issues so far. |
|
@lxne thanks for trying. It looks like 2-mics and linear 4-mics and the 6-mics are okay with the v5.5 driver, but the square 4-mics isn't, and there is a 64-bit issue (#240 ) somewhere. edit: fixed - it is just amixer accidentally turning recording volume of channel 3 really low, rather than selecting headphone for output, when run against newer kernel. works perfectly for me on the 6-mic device with ubuntu 64-bit now. |

@HinTak Hi, I tried your fork branch v5.5 and it work. I can see the correct output when I Update: |
|
@Alex-Beh It is most definitely #251 then. You can downgrade slightly with https://github.com/HinTak/RaspberryPi-Dev/releases/tag/Ubuntu-raspi-5.4.0-1028.31 . After downgrading and "apt-mark hold ..."; reboot, reinstall the driver as unusual. You do need to mark hold |
|
I'll probably make a more recent build at some point. |
|
Sorry I am a bit confused on the instruction. So I need to
Then "sudo ./install.sh" to install the driver as usual. Am I correct? |
I'd love the ability to use a current build of Raspbian, I saw your v5.6-v5.9 and was hoping that one of them would have made all this go away. I'm inferring from your comment it does not? |
Only 4 deb files (no need to do buildinfo), and step 4 before step 3. Step 5 is Also Raspbian has moved to v5.10 already, so my repo now defaults to v5.9. Just stay with your existing clone - if you are doing a fresh new clone, you need to do |
32-bit raspbian is not (yet) affected by #251 . |
I don't follow. I switched to your fork as the official repo didn't work with the current release of Raspbian as of ~late-mid last year. I had to roll back to Linux raspberrypi 4.19.75-v7l+ #1270 SMP Tue Sep 24 18:51:41 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux and would really love to update and use the current 5.4.x+ kernel in the more recent official releases. |
|
@baileyji current raspbian is 5.10 (since Feb 2021, 6 weeks ago). Ubuntu groovy is 5.8 based and ubuntu focal is 5.4 based. Seeed studio's repo defaults to 5.4 since autumn 2020; my repo have branches for v4.19/v5.5/v5.8/v5.9 (v5.5 branch works for 5.4 kernels, while v5.9 branch works for 5.10 kernels). The default is v5.9 since a few weeks ago, switched over from v5.5. |
|
@HinTak I tried the steps, git checkout v5.5. And the OS still crash after I After I completed the step 1 to step 5, the kernel version supposed downgrade to |
|
@Alex-Beh yup, you are seeing bug #251 ... Apologies - when I made them they were the newest (so they worked as upgrades), apparently one needs to add "--force-downgrade" to "dpkg -i ..." to actually downgrade. Mind you I have not tried downgrading the kernel on ubuntu raspberrypi yet (ubuntu x86_64 desktop is well-tested, and so is raspbian). Do you want to give that a try, or wait for me to make a even newer set so you could just do plain upgrade (without "--force-downgrade")? |
|
Hi @HinTak, I tried to add --force-downgrade on the 4 deb file.
After reboot, |
|
@Alex-Beh okay, thanks for trying the downgrade route. The ubuntu raspberrypi boot process is different from both ubuntu desktop/x86_64 and raspbian so it is not clear how one can boot an older kernel on ubuntu pi. Give me a couple of days to make another set of those debs. |
|
Thanks for your help. Let me know if anything I can help. |

@Alex-Beh I made 5.4.0-1030 - |
Hi,
I have the ReSpeaker 4-Mic Array and cannot install the driver.
The driver was already installed for the 2-Mic-Array
I use this fork
https://github.com/HinTak/seeed-voicecard/tree/v5.5
If i run "sudo ./install.sh" it stucks at the following point.
