I fail at recording sound with a tablets microphone that is connected via USB to my Gentoo Linux.
I checked my settings and see tha USB Microphone is detected.
arecord --list-devices
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog]
Subdevices: 0/2
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
card 1: Device [PrimeSense Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: Phone [MT65xx Android Phone], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
So i assume
arecord -D hw:2,0 -d 5 test.wav
will get me the recordings, but it yields:
arecord: main:722: audio open error: Device or resource busy
Any idea how to find out what causes this? Or am I on the wrong track at all? Do i need a dedicated entry in the asound.conf?
it currently looks like this:
cat /etc/asound.conf
#input device
pcm.AD1989A_inputs {
type multi
slaves.a.pcm "hw:PCH,0,0"
slaves.a.channels 2
slaves.b.pcm "hw:PCH,0,1"
slaves.b.channels 2
bindings.0.slave a
bindings.0.channel 0
bindings.1.slave a
bindings.1.channel 1
bindings.2.slave b
bindings.2.channel 0
bindings.3.slave b
bindings.3.channel 1
}
Maybe the pcm list is also relevant for the solution. So i add it here:
arecord --list-pcms
