Hi All, Adding to the previous message, I execute the following commands arecord -f cd -v -D plug:hw:3 | aplay -f cd -v -D plug:hw:0 and the prints are as follows, Recording WAVE 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo:hw:0 Plug PCM: Hardware PCM card 3 'MotoG3-TE' device 0 subdevice 0 Its setup is: stream : CAPTURE access : RW_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 2 rate : 44100 exact rate : 44100 (44100/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 22050 period_size : 5513 period_time : 125011 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 avail_min : 5513 period_event : 0 start_threshold : 1 stop_threshold : 22050 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 1445068800 appl_ptr : 0 hw_ptr : 0 Playing WAVE 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo Plug PCM: Hardware PCM card 0 'imx6-wandboard-sgtl5000' device 0 subdevice 0 Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : RW_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 2 rate : 44100 exact rate : 44100 (44100/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 16384 period_size : 4096 period_time : 92879 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 avail_min : 4096 period_event : 0 start_threshold : 16384 stop_threshold : 16384 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 1073741824 appl_ptr : 0 hw_ptr : 0 underrun!!!
