I get 2 rockp4a (hardware version 114-173) two weeks ago. I download image file named rockpi4a_debian_buster_xfce4_arm64_20210824_0245 -gpt.img.gz from github site.
I use them for an voice chat node, so I plug in a wireless mic. It seems ok except one of them can’t get mic’s signals.
Then I get a third last week to replace the bad one, the problem was solved.
I tried the native mic also, and found the same thing: no sound can be record.
So, what’s the problem?
I test the mic using the command:
rock@rockpi4a:~$ arecord -l
