I've been trying to use this USB Audio card: https://http2.mlstatic.com/tarjeta-de-sonido-usb-71-con-control-de-volumen-D_NQ_NP_904044-MCO31004989404_062019-F.webp as sound output and input.
I followed this tutorial: https://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2019/06/using-a-usb-audio-device-with-the-raspberry-pi/ and the output works as expected but when I try to record something using a 3.5mm microphone in the other socket, (https://www.importacioneswest.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/61jp2CwmoqL.SL1300-1024x1024.jpg) it only creates blank files.
Do I need to configure anything else?
I used the following command to record:
arecord --device=hw:1,0 --format S16_LE --rate 44100 -c1 -V mono test.wav
These are the cards the Pi recongnizes:
0 [ALSA ]: bcm2835_alsa - bcm2835 ALSA
bcm2835 ALSA
1 [Device ]: USB-Audio - USB PnP Sound Device
C-Media Electronics Inc. USB PnP Sound Device at usb-3f980000.usb-1.4, full spe
The capture devices:
