It may probably happen that the driver won't compile with the latest kernel when raspbian rolls out new patches to the kernel. If so, please try `sudo ./install.sh --compat-kernel` which uses an older kernel but ensures that the driver can work.

While the upstream wm8960 codec is not currently supported by current Pi kernel builds, upstream wm8960 has some bugs, we had fixed it. we must it build manually.
Check that the sound card name matches the source code seeed-voicecard.

The 4 Mic Array uses ac108 which includes 4 ADCs, we also write ac108 rapberry pi linux kernel driver.
Check that the sound card name matches the source code seeed-voicecard.

## 6-Mics Circular Array Kit

The 6 Mics Circular Array Kit uses ac108 x 2 / ac101 x 1 / micphones x 6, includes 8 ADCs and 2 DACs.
The driver is implemented with 8 input channels & 8 output channels.
>**The first 6 input channel are MIC recording data,
the rest 2 input channel are echo channel of playback
The first 2 output channel are playing data, the rest 6 output channel are dummy**
Check that the sound card name matches the source code seeed-voicecard.

## 4-Mics Linear Array Kit
[![](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3901856/37194106-a0ccebce-23a7-11e8-88c5-ec611e44ec49.png)]()
In contrast to 6-Mics Circular Array Kit for Raspberry Pi,
the difference is only first 4 input channels are valid capture data.
### Usage:
```bash
#Query sound card number
# The sound card number used as arecord/aplay argument,
# ( like '-D hw:N' and '-D plughw:N', where N is the number )
# could be found by command:
aplay -l
#or
arecord -l
# Find the line in the command output which near below form:
card 1: seeed2micvoicec [seeed-2mic-voicecard], device 0: ...
# The number between first word `card` and char `:` is the Sound Card Number, here it's 1.
```
```bash
#for ReSpeaker 2-mic
#It will capture sound an playback on hw:1
arecord -f cd -Dhw:1 | aplay -Dhw:1
```
```bash
#for ReSpeaker 4-mic
#It will capture sound on AC108 and save as a.wav
arecord -Dac108 -f S32_LE -r 16000 -c 4 a.wav
```
```bash
#for 6-Mics Circular Array Kit and 4-Mics Linear Array Kit
#It will capture sound on AC108 and save as a.wav
arecord -Dac108 -f S32_LE -r 16000 -c 8 a.wav
#Take care of that the captured mic audio is on the first 6 channels
#It will play a mono channel sound file mono_to_play.wav
#The file to play must be mono channel or else the speaker output nothing.
aplay -D plughw:1,0 mono_to_play.wav
#Doing capture && playback the same time
arecord -D hw:1,0 -f S32_LE -r 16000 -c 8 to_be_record.wav &
#mono_to_play.wav is a mono channel wave file to play
aplay -D plughw:1,0 -r 16000 mono_to_play.wav
```
**Note: Limit for developer using 6-Mics Circular Array Kit(or 4-Mics Linear Array Kit) doing capture & playback the same time:
1. capture must be start first, or else the capture channels will possibly be disorder.
2. playback output channels must fill with 8 same channels data or 4 same stereo channels data, or else the speaker or headphone will output nothing possibly.**

When you encounter any installation and use problems when you start your ReSpeaker Pi hat, please use the following image for testing. We have installed seeed-voicecard based on the latest PI image, which can be used by burning it directly on SD. If this still cannot solve your problem, you can ask in the issue. We will try our best to solve your problem. When you encounter any installation and use problems when you start your ReSpeaker Pi hat, please use the following image for testing.
