indeed this is more up to date
Hey, it is possible to disable the onboard microphones? even if I change the alsa preset the microphones still work.
Hi Markortu
I have the same issue and I think this is a driver issue. I’ve put on our task list to try to send directly commands to the codec to disable onboard mic, will post result here.
thx
Hi,
I’ve followed the guide as-is in the top post
At this step:speaker-test -l5 -c2 -t wav
i get
speaker-test 1.2.4
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
WAV file(s)
Playback open error: -19,No such device
I have reinstalled per the next step
cd WM8960-Audio-HAT
sudo ./uninstall.sh
sudo ./install.sh
I am using a pi zero 2 w, with ultra++ hat, installed on Raspberry Pi OS Lite per rhasspy docs.
I note some conflicting advice in some of the comments about outdated drivers, and can see the top post was updated back in april. Do I need to be using a different driver? I want the headphones out and onboard microphones for this project.
Lastly: > `cd WM8960-Audio-HAT
sudo ./uninstall.sh
sudo ./install.sh`
in the guide should this not be cd ultra2? I don’t have a WM8960xxx directory that I could see.
Hi
Have you tried method 1 or method 2?
I have never tried on the lite version of PI OS
let me know and will give it a try
Hi, this was with method 2
I have tried on the full OS and on the lite a few times, multiple reinstalls of the driver script in the top post and all on fresh installs of RaspOS.
The audio output options in the desktop do not have the hat as shown in your screenshot - and I have found this error:

I have attempted the fix noted here:

On the GUI when doing a right click on the speaker can you select the device like this ?
no, they don’t - you might have missed it in my post:
The audio output options in the desktop do not have the hat as shown in your screenshot
Just before doing the test, can you confirm that you ULTRA has a blue push button ? (sorry to ask but some other user made the confusion with the MIC model in the past)
yes it does, and the box says ultra (which is what I ordered).
Bump?
I’ve dumped a fair bit of troubleshooting into this without luck. Does the silence mean you’ve also run into trouble?
If so I might need to return them, as I’m looking for something to implement somewhat soon
Cheers
Sorry for the delay, the test is scheduled for tomorrow, I will post result here
Hello I have tested it and found an issue, sorry for that. It will take a few days to fix but meanwhile you can use this installation files from Waveshare, it’s 100% compatible, I had to start from a fresh SD card with Pi OS 32 bits with desktop.
Updated the installation procedure for method 2 with a simple fork of the waveshare method
Hi!
My rpi based project needs a soundcard with external mic in and a headphone out, WaveShare driver works fine with your ULTRA++ card except the ext. mic in has big base noise on it. I tried all of the methods founded in topics (diffetent os-es, arch, install methode, microphones etc.) without any luck. Can you suggest me a way to make it work as expected?
Please send me precise information of any kind of a working configuration! (os release eg.: 2023-02-21-raspios-bullseye-armhf(.img.xz) and configuration files (like alsa.conf wm8960-soundcard.state and corresponding information (eg: add/remove lines in rpi config.txt or cmdline.txt or elsewhere)
THX! (with a HOPE)
P.
I have tried to do both methods on my Raspberry Pi 3b. They all get errors.

Was this ever resolved? I need to disable input monitoring of the line input.
I need the line in signal coming into my program but I need to disable it from coming out of the headphones
Hi,
Could you tell me what exact of PI OS you have used ? thanks
