Help on 2 mic on raspberry pi

Thu Jan 07, 2016 2:25 pm

Hi Forums! I have a raspberry pi with lcd and a usb sound card dongle. With usb sound card dongle i was able to record sounds from a single microphone. But now i am to record sounds coming from another microphone and record it simultaneously with the other, Can anyone help me how will i interface this "another microphone to my raspberry pi?'' Thank you guys!

How about with two USB sound cards?

I was also thinking about that sir, but i havent tried it yet. im in dobut if it will be working both at the same time. Since on alsamixer only one sound card can be chosen to operate. I havent tried it yet with other programming softwares. I was able to succeed on my goal recording sound and playback it using lazarus and QT on a single usb dongle. Will it work both at the same time sir?

The other, possibly more sane, option is to mix the signals in the analog stage before feeding them into your RPi.

The topic sir will be used on any noise cancellation project. Since one mic will be my noise signal and the other mic will be my (Preffered signal + noise) signal. That's the one last thing to fill up the project all the of the codes subtracting the two are already made. thankyou sir, Im having a hard part interfacing that 2 microphones.

Are you using mono or stereo (pairs of) microphones?
Is the USB microphone input mono or stereo?
If there are two mono microphones and a stereo input, it should be simple to record the two separately as mono channels.
