@M4gicD00bz said in [HOTWORD:LPCM16] arecord: main:828 audio open error: Device or resource busy:

  					device: "plughw:0"

but the asoundrc says hw:1,0 (which should be correct unless u are using the google voicehat, and have installed the software to enable it)

should be device: “plughw:1,0”

@sdetweil : that’s why i asked this question ;)

[sdetweil]

@Bugsounet it would never have been “plughw:0”, maybe “plughw:0,0”

[A Former User]

not necessary, it should be plughw:0, plughw:1 or null (for default setting)

after, maybe one module use already the mic …
in this case arecord return an error (device busy)

I’ve tried every variation. I’ve scrapped everything. Starting from scratch again. I guess I’ll come back if still an issue.
