I have installed the most current Armbian Bionic to a Orange PI zero (512MB).

 

I can't record anything from microphone, as the recording process just hangs forver (blocks).

 

arecord -l gives the following output:

**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Codec [H3 Audio Codec], device 0: CDC PCM Codec-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

arecord -d2 test.wav  gives the following output, but hangs till killed with Ctrl-C

Recording WAVE 'test.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono

ffmpeg -f alsa -i hw:0 -t 5 test1.wav  gives the following output, and hangs as well forever:

So I am currently clueless, what to do next.

 

Thanks for any further hints!

If I strace arecord, i see that arecord spawns one child process, which will repeat the following actions

write(6, "W", 1)                        = 1
write(6, "W", 1)                        = 1
write(6, "W", 1)                        = 1
read(5, "WWW", 10)                      = 3
write(7, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8)         = 8
read(5, 0xb2789c30, 10)                 = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}], 3, 1498) = 1 ([{fd=9, revents=POLLIN}])
read(9, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8)          = 8
read(5, 0xb2789c30, 10)                 = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}], 3, 1496) = 0 (Timeout)
getpid()                                = 12713

the pif returned from getpid() is the pid of the parent process.

Which kernel are you running?

armbianmonitor -u can help supply more troubleshooting info.
