Installation works but recording does not as the configuration seems to be wrong

[CoolM8]

Im on Raspbian Jessie Lite and for the installation of the ac108 driver to work i had to do the following steps:

1. sudo dpkg --configure -a
2. edit the following line in install.sh:
   apt-get -y install raspberrypi-kernel-headers raspberrypi-kernel to apt-get -y --force-yes install raspberrypi-kernel-headers raspberrypi-kernel
3. run sudo ./install.sh 4mic

After rebooting and entering arecord -L I only see PulseAudio. Then when i enter sudo systemctl restart seeed-voicecard i get the voice card to be listed, but it looks like the following:
null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) pulse PulseAudio Sound Server default Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server playback dmixed ac108 multiapps sysdefault:CARD=seeed4micvoicec seeed-4mic-voicecard, Default Audio Device dmix:CARD=seeed4micvoicec,DEV=0 seeed-4mic-voicecard, Direct sample mixing device dsnoop:CARD=seeed4micvoicec,DEV=0 seeed-4mic-voicecard, Direct sample snooping device hw:CARD=seeed4micvoicec,DEV=0 seeed-4mic-voicecard, Direct hardware device without any conversions plughw:CARD=seeed4micvoicec,DEV=0 seeed-4mic-voicecard, Hardware device with all software conversions

When trying to record anything I get the following message:
ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:999:(snd1_pcm_direct_initialize_slave) unable to install hw params
ALSA lib pcm_dsnoop.c:629:(snd_pcm_dsnoop_open) unable to initialize slave
arecord: main:722: audio open error: Invalid argument

How can I bring this to work?

Hi,
Do you used the old version driver which install a plugin /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_ac108.so.
please try to delete it and try again.
sudo rm /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_ac108.so

No, i followed the wiki for installation. sudo rm /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_ac108.so tells me that there is no such file. <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Hi CoolM8,
OK, I want to know your kernel & image version generated by command below,
uname -a
cat /etc/os-release
Telling me the Raspbian Image download URL is prefer, which made me have the identical environment with you. Thanks.

Just missed, but it is exactly the same issue as Issue #40
