Flashing new firmware according to https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/ReSpeaker-USB-Mic-Array/

I am flashing the “1 channel firmware”:

sudo apt-get update
sudo pip install pyusb click
 
git clone https://github.com/respeaker/usb_4_mic_array.git
cd usb_4_mic_array
 
# if you want to use 1 channel,then the command should be like:
sudo python dfu.py --download 1_channel_firmware.bin
 
# Alternative, did not work for me (mic not showing up in GNOME):
# sudo python dfu.py --download 6_channels_firmware.bin  # The 6 channels version

Then disconnect ReSpeaker from USB and reconnect. The mircophone occurs in the GNOME audio settings menu.

To test the microphone and to record audios for training the LLM and ASR.

Buggy or weird behavior of Audacity on Linux.

Don't do that: “sudo snap connect audacity:alsa”. In case you did you can “sudo snap disconnect audacity:alsa”.

Don't use the button “Access ot ALSA has been granted.”

Rather click on button “Start and do not ask again” when Audacity comes up.

PyAudio missing. Requires trouble shooting … On hold …
