 Hi Phillip,An older Raspbian from Nov 2019 worked for me. I used the default pi user and the installer script.Have a good one.Dan

I'm new to using audio in Linux and not 100% certain that I've set the hat up correctly. I'm using it on a Raspberry PI IO Board with a CM4. My goal is to setup an Icecast stream for my local network, I'm using Darkice to convert the audio input into mp3 for the stream.
In order to verify my setup I purchased a USB sound and once I updated my Darkice config to use the new card I could hear audio in my stream right away. So my software setup seems to work.
I've also tried to use arecord using the various AudioInjector devices to record wav files in cd and dat format. The files all start with a click and then silence. My Icecast stream using the AudioInjector devices sounds the same.
I've unmuted or enabled all the options in alsamixer, and upded all the volumes to max and set the manual volumn knob almost to the max.
Is it possible that my card is defective?
Is there anything else I could modify?

Thanks for your help,
Phillip Fox

Thank you Derm,
I reviewed several of your blog posts without any luck, then decided to remove my AudioInjector Stereo hat and reinstall it. After booting I was able to hear very quiet audio with some distortion from my stream. 

I tried adjusting some of the levels using "alsamixer", but that didn't seem to help. I ran the "asound.state.MIC.thru.test" script and could hear audio from the onboard mic after a reboot. I reran the "asound.state.RCA.thru.test" script and since then I haven't heard any more audio. I've tried connecting to both the RCA and the headphone port. I've messed with so many settings with the "amixer" commands, and have verified that they took affect in "alsamixer".

I'm familiar with linux OSs, but new to audio on linux. 
I feel like I'm close but missing something obvious, here are some details from my current config. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

I'm running the light version Raspberry PI OS version of Debian Bullseye, so command line only, on a Compute Module 4 board. Would the full UI provide more options? My compute module board has 2 HDMI ports, so my AudioInjector card's card id is 2. 

When I run 'arecord' I get the following output (the output starts at 99% then immediatly drops to 13% and stays there even with no record playing):
~ $ arecord -D 'hw:CARD=audioinjectorpi,DEV=0' -vv -f dat /dev/null

From: "Phillip Fox" <phill at phillfox.net>

Hello all,
I'm trying to setup a local icecast stream using a Raspberry PI CM4 installed on the Compute Module 4 IO Board with the AudioInjector Stero card installed.

I think I've configured the card as outlined in github and I think I have darkice and icecast running properly because they are generating a stream, but there is no sound in the stream.

I think the problem might be with the device I've configured as my source. Running aplay -L I get the following output:
hw:CARD=audioinjectorpi,DEV=0

   audioinjector-pi-soundcard, AudioInjector audio wm8731-hifi-0

   Direct hardware device without any conversions

plughw:CARD=audioinjectorpi,DEV=0

   HDMI Audio Output

dmix:CARD=vc4hdmi1,DEV=0

   vc4-hdmi-1, MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0

   Direct sample mixing device


I've tried using the following device options in my darkice config with no luck:
hw:CARD=audioinjectorpi,DEV=0

plughw:CARD=audioinjectorpi,DEV=0

sysdefault:CARD=audioinjectorpi


I've used a headphone line out from my phone and from a small amp (which is plugged into a pre-amp) using both the RCA and the headphone line in.

Is one of those listed devices the right option, or is there something else I can do to test the problem?

Thanks for any help!
