Teensy 4.1 and 4-channel audio (AudioInputI2SQuad)

[Tootsie]

Is there a simple way to read line in through the audio boards through the adc and put the values in a buffer? Or do you have to use queue to create the audio buffer?

[PaulS]

I'm not 100% sure about this but when using the Audio library you need to use the queue.
Maybe this thread helps:https://forum.pjrc.com/threads/34953...rom-microphone and the example Paul Stoffregen refers to in that thread.

Do I need to remove the 10K resistor?

The 10K resistors on pin 6 are fine. No need to remove them.

That's what the audio library queue object does... it puts the data into buffers for you.

There is no other "simple" way. But if you want something that's not simple, you could copy the I2S code from the audio library and modify it any way you like. But managing DMA is pretty far from "simple". Unless you really enjoy messing with that sort of low-level code, your best path is to use the already well developed audio library and its queue method to get access to the raw data.

I would love to use the library for that exact reason. I guess I just had a way in my head I was going to do this using just the Teensy, but now with the library that has shifted.

The general idea is to be able to find the lag between two microphones based on phase shift. What would be the best way to go about this using the library? General ideas here would be use queue and then compare the signals to each other after some peak value has been reached on one of the microphones. I think this would work and is similar to the way I was planning on doing it with just the Teensy.

Could I possibly use the FIR filter and mixer together in order to find the lag?

Hi everyone,
I am using two SGTL5000 with a teensy 4.1 to record 4 channel on a SD card. I have used the code that record stereo in one raw file and extended it to 4 channel. The problem is that during the recording I occasionnaly have small cuts on the audio channels. They are not constant and happen at any time (sometimes never). I wanted to know if anyone had encoutered that same thing ?
here is my code

This to be expected.
120 blocks for AudioMemory is too little for the occasional delays of the microSD cards that can last over 100 ms.
Increase AudioMemory and if you need more space use external memory (which needs soldering of PSRAM and custom AudioMemory macro).
It can and has been done.
