I tried installing the driver on a fresh bookworm image in Pi 5 and after reboot, the system does not boot anymore. On Pi 4, same OS image everything work well (v6.1).

I would like to get behind Pi 5 support and help to make it happen. This audio chip is super popular and it will be bummer not to have support for Pi 5...

The issue might be related to this:
raspberrypi/linux#5743

Hello! HinTak!
It is been a pleasure to meet you! And thank you so much for the continuous update on this repo. We have launched a collaborative program called the Contributor Program - We really hope that you can join us! And improve the wiki regarding the reSpeaker with me:) Here is the detailed assignment and if you are interested, please email me: [email protected]
Really looking forward to the cooperation:D
Best Regards,
Matthew

do you have any plans on updating this version of the driver? It seems Seeed themselves wont do any updates to their drivers, but no matter how I've tried - I cant get it to work properly on any version. The only time I got the drivers properly installed was either on the 2021 may version of Raspberry OS or by downgrading the kernel version but then the LXpanel drops and there's no visible menu bar.

Hey everyone, I'm unable to install the 4mic-array drivers using latest raspios (raspios_lite_arm64-bookworm).
https://downloads.raspberrypi.com/raspios_lite_arm64/images/.../2024-03-15-raspios-bookworm-arm64-lite.img.xz.

Overview

I'm getting the following message when running the install script from the 6.6 branch. Seems like dkms and i2c-tools has not installation candidates on raspios-bookworm. I also tried installing: https://github.com/respeaker/seeed-voicecard

After rebooting, I'm getting an empty list of capture hardware devices

$ arecord -l
$ **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****

I installed the driver according to the official command, and used the library after finding the problem, but I still can't use the "aplay - l" command to show any results, is it because ReSpeaker 2 Mics Pi HAT does not work with the Raspberry Pi 5?

Hi @HinTak - great work on keeping things up to date!

There's one thing that bothers me a little. The current structure, while sticks closely to the original Seeed repo, is not really suitable for long term support, or easy installation, especially with all the separate branches for different kernel versions.

I'd like to recommend a refactor that would introduce a proper build system to create Debian packages. This would allow a number of convenience features:

• Easier distribution - APT repos can easily hosted on GitHub, and users wouldn't need to run install/uninstall scripts via sudo. This would also allow for easier updates.
• More fine-grained installations. By packaging components separately (e.g. a a10x-dev package containing the a10x.h file, separate DKMS driver packages for a101, a108 and wm8960, as well as a separate seed-voicecard DKMS package, culminating in semi-meta packages for the various card models), one could install just what is needed to get their device working.
• Support for multiple kernel versions in the same branch. No more dozen+ branches for each kernel versions, but rather each module would have multiple subfolders, targeting different kernel versions, keeping everything in one place yet still separate (e.g. a108/src/6.2/a108.[hc] etc.)
• Automated packaging using GHA Workflows. Just update the files, merge into main, tag the version, and bam, new packages published.
• Remove the need of manual compilation and manual handling of overlays, etc., by having the Debian package take care of it
• The new folder architecture could then be used for other distros' package builders as well, making it possible to deploy packaging for Arch etc.
• Remove the need to maintain the hacky install script, by breaking it down into separate parts for the components, making maintenance much simpler

Ideally this would result in the following packages:

• seeed-a10x-dev - containing only the a10x.h file to be used for both the build process and development
• seeed-a101-dkms - the DKMS drivers for the A101
• seeed-a108-dkms - the DKMS drivers for the A108
• seeed-wm8960-dkms - the DKMS driver for the WM8960
• seeed-voicecard-2mic - package containing the files necessary for the 2-mic voicecard (DTBO, ALSA config and state), with a DependsOn set as
• seeed-voicecard-4mic - package for the 4-mic voice card
• seeed-voicecard-6mic/8mic - same as above

And with a bit of tinkering, the DKMS install script could be modified to even match the appropriate kernel X.Y folder within and compile that code (although I think version-specific changes should be done within the source, e.g. how it's done at https://github.com/HinTak/seeed-voicecard/blob/v6.1/ac108.c#L1328-L1332)

Hello @HinTak I appreacite you taking the time to continue development on seed devices. I have been scouring the web for the past week trying to get my 4-mic hat array working on the bullseye rasp OS, Ive tried both 32 and 64 bit versions, I finally decided to stick with the 32 bit hoping for better compatibility but to now avail. I am using your repo now and although the system does recognize the drivers I cant for the life of me find a proper command to get it to record any audio.

I even tried to pump data into chatgpt since it is aware of respeaker and its products it claims but that gpt is becoming dumber and dumber by the day it seems.
Here are a few details to my setup:
arecord -L gives me

I noticed when I try to run a simple arecord command i get a Channels count non available
I did learn that when i use 6 channels the command get a bit farther

chatgpt suggested i create a .asoundrc file with this for its contents

    type asym

    capture.pcm "dmixer"
}

pcm.speaker {
    type plug

Ive tried to install audacity as one forum reply suggested but even then it can see the respeaker device in the dropdowns but when i hit the record button it goes from "stopped" to quickly record immediately back to stopped. I am stumped and ready to toss this thing in the trash im getting so frustrated trying to get it working on this PI. when I first got the device i plugged it into my windows machine and it works great. so I know the device works.

any tips or help would be most appreciated

oh i also had gpt help make me a script to check audio devices using pyaudio:

import pyaudio
import wave


def record_audio(device_index, file_path, duration=5):
    p = pyaudio.PyAudio()

    try:
        stream = p.open(
            format=pyaudio.paInt16,
            channels=4,  # Adjust channels based on the number of microphones
            rate=16000,  # Adjust rate based on the max sample rate
            input=True,
            input_device_index=device_index,
            frames_per_buffer=1024,
        )

        print("Recording...")
        frames = []
        for i in range(0, int(16000 / 1024 * duration)):
            data = stream.read(1024)
            frames.append(data)

        print("Recording done.")
        stream.stop_stream()
        stream.close()

        wf = wave.open(file_path, "wb")
        wf.setnchannels(4)  # Adjust channels based on the number of microphones
        wf.setsampwidth(pyaudio.PyAudio().get_sample_size(pyaudio.paInt16))
        wf.setframerate(16000)  # Adjust rate based on the max sample rate
        wf.writeframes(b"".join(frames))
        wf.close()

    finally:
        p.terminate()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Set the index of your ReSpeaker 4-Mic Array
    respeaker_index = 2  # Adjust this based on the correct index for your device

    # Record audio and save to a file
    record_audio(respeaker_index, "test.wav")

but it spits out a bunch of garble i dont really understand and when entere into gpt it thinks im trying to forge id numbers or some stupid response it gave me lol

Not an issue, but I've created an install script that's much less painful than the original (currently just for kernel 6.1):

Do you have any suggestions on how to properly integrate this 'sound card' with pipewire?

For example, the installation creates a /etc/asound.conf file, but for Pipewire I've seen it recommended to delete that file and install pipewire-alsa.

Since Pipewire is fairly new to me I thought I'd ask.

Hi there,
I recently bought a audio hat 4 mic linear array board. I've installed the git repository from the actual seeed site but they refuse to install due to them being outdated. I found this reposity to help my previous issue but when i install the drivers from this reposity, my taskbar seems to disappear. I have to have the taskbar present for my intended use of the raspberry pi. Please can someone help me out

Could you please provide the listed installation process with the correct github path?
https://github.com/HinTak/seeed-voicecard.git and not https://github.com/respeaker/seeed-voicecard.

Thanks

I got the 4-Mic Array on a Pi Zero 2 running, with your latest 6.1 branch. I used the modifications of: JaPhoton posted here: respeaker#309 that fixed the problem, that restarting ends up sometimes of mixed channel order.
But now i record, in audacity, or arecord (S32_LE) but it ends up that only 12 bit are provided !? (audacity smallest nonzero value is 0.0004) I checked with the Osci and see that the AC108 delivers 4 Channel 24 bit, so it looks as the driver ac108.c ?? throws the lower 12 bit away ???

thanks for maintaining this drivers, you're a saint!

Which repo should we use? The readme for this one points to https://github.com/HinTak/seeed-voicecard and the readme over there points to the original unmaintained repo.

It seems like this repo should be the one to use since you've merged in the latest mainline to the master branch?

When attempting to run the installation script for a ReSpeaker 6 mic array (gen 1), I'm seeing the following errors on a Raspberry Pi 4B model running the latest bookworm Lite OS.

Hello! I am trying to install the drivers for ReSpeaker 2-Mics Pi HAT on a raspberry.
I installed the drivers successfully using this repo
The command "arecord -l" though gives me no results.
Am I missing something?

Hi All,

I installed the branch 6.6 on Ubuntu 23.10 on a RPI 5. I ran ubuntu prerequisites script then ran the install script. Everything build and installed properly, seems so. Reboot, module got loaded but "aplay -l" dosen't list the card.

I disabled the seeed-voicecard.service, rebooted and ran seeed-voicecard manually, here is the result;

No errors, it just doesn't find the Respeaker 2-MIC.

What do you think I could look at?

Thanks

Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 6.5.0-1005-raspi cannot be found at /lib/modules/6.5.0-1005-raspi/build or /lib/modules/6.5.0-1005-raspi/source.

v6.1 and v6.5 do not work

Hi there!

First of all: Thanks for putting in the work and keeping our hardware alive!

I am having trouble getting the 4-Mic Array working on recent version of raspberry pi OS with kernel version 6.1.0 on a Raspberry Pi 4.

I have tried the available Bookworm and Bullseye versions, both 32bit and 64bit LITE versions, all with the same result:

• Drivers installation proceeds seemingly correct (using the 6.1 branch)
• Both my 2-Mic Arrays are recognized correctly and work as expected
• The 4-Mic Array is not recognized (arecord -l is empty)
• SPI communication to the APA102 LEDs on the 4-Mic array works as expected

I suspected a faulty hardware, but the 4-Mic Array works correctly using your provided buster image with drivers pre-installed.

I'm sure I'm missing something here. Do you have any pointers to what's causing the trouble?
I'd like to give more detailed info to help troubleshooting. Please, let me know what additional output/ information might help.

I am using the Seeed Respeaker 4 mic hat: https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/ReSpeaker-4-Mic-Array-for-Raspberry-Pi/img/connect2.jpg

The SD card died in my Pi3b voice assistant so I thought I'd try and upgrade it to a Pi4 I was using elsewhere.

Flash latest official Pi Lite version to SD card:

Linux vision 6.1.0-rpi7-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.1.63-1+rpt1 (2023-11-24) aarch64 GNU/Linux

git clone https://github.com/HinTak/seeed-voicecard.git

The default branch is v6.1 so good to go there.

sudo ./install.sh and reboot

After reboot:
arecord -L

hw:CARD=seeed4micvoicec,DEV=0
    seeed-4mic-voicecard, bcm2835-i2s-ac10x-codec0 ac10x-codec0-0
    Direct hardware device without any conversions

Try and record as per the instructions on the wiki:

arecord -Dac108 -f S32_LE -r 16000 -c 4 hello.wav

Kernel Panic when pressing Ctrl+C to stop recording

Seems to be 100% repro rate

I tried using the linked (super old) version of Buster with the drivers pre-installed (https://files.seeedstudio.com/linux/Raspberry%20Pi%204%20reSpeaker/2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-lite-respeaker.img.xz)

That works correctly and I can record, sox to stereo and playback via headphones as expected, so it's not a hardware issue with the hat.

I tried using 32 bit instead of 64 bit, bit that doesn't seem to install correctly,
cannot get card index for seeed4micvoicec when trying to record.
I also tried 64 bit full desktop RPi image in case somehow that was using a different kernel, but no luck there.

It seems lots of people are working OK with 6.1 kernels from various forums around the place, so I am really not sure what is going wrong in my case.
(I did also try the hat on the PI3b with latest Pi OS and that also failed, so it's not specific to the 4)

Any help would be greatly appreciated (via donation!)
