XK-USB-MIC-UF216 in Ubuntu 16.04 - No audio capture.

Post by jr_sc »

Hi,

I am brand new to the XMOS world and just got a new XK-USB-MIC-UF216 two days back.

What I have done
1. I followed the https://www.xmos.com/developer/publishe ... vers-linux to enable the USB driver (lsusb shows the device).
2. Got the software code archive sw_usb_audio-[sw]_6.15.2rc1 and imported it to my XTIMEComposer

The Run configuration on the IDE shows the Target list as XMOS XTAG-3 .... So I selected that, then 'Apply' and 'Run'. I see the LED (D4)on the Xtag blink continuously.
But nothing else happens. There are no logs on the console and I presume audio capture is not working (as the mic LEDs don't blink).

On the mic array board, only the center LED is tuned ON and solid red.

So I need hep with
1. How do I proceed to start capturing on the device?
2. Will arecord -L list the mic array as a device? If not is there a way to achieve this ?

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for helping me out. Xmos support sent me the following email and with it I was able to capture audio data using arecord as well as audacity

" The issue has to do with a recently hardware revision conflicting with our older USB library. Please follow this design advisory to compile a working binary for the board. It's essentially just drag and drop replacing the USB related libs in the software project:
