FAQ

1.Is it possible to use both the onboard microphone and an external microphone at the same time (2 audio input channels at the same time)?

Answer: Sorry, it is not possible to use both the onboard microphone and an external microphone at the same time, but if you need to use two microphone, you can consider to use two X350 audio board to stack on and under your raspberry pi to use it.(actually we do not test it, you need to test it yourself, thank you!)

2.How to setup and use X350 board?

Answer: Please refer to here and try it on Raspbian.

Rather than using the supplied USB connector can we use a wired USB-to-USB connector?

Replying to my own question - tried a USB A to USB A conenctor. Worked perfectly fine. This is because I had the Raspberry Pi 4, which does not align the USB sockets.

Two Questions:

1. Can you use the X350 audio board to turn a Raspberry Pi 3b into a small PA system, whereby you plug in a microphone into the X350 audio board and the board outputs what you say via speakers?

2. I have the Audacity recording program on my Raspberry Pi 3b. Can I record my voice using a microphone plugged into the X350 audio board using the Audacity program set up on my Raspberry Pi?

Hi friend, 1. The X350 already integrated the audio ampilifier and you can connect it to your speakers directly.

2. Not test it with Audacity recording program yet. but will find time to test later.

This does not explain how to connect the 5vdc power to the card. Do you use a cable from the raspberry pi's power or do you need an independent power supply? what kind of cable is required for the power supply? What plugs in to the USB connector, is it power supply, if not the headphones or mic. If it is power supply why is there another power supply input connector?

Hello, The X350 and Raspberry Pi is connected by the USB bridge, does not require external power supply for X350, and we upload the X350 board diagram above, please check the details. Best regards, Cindy/Geekworm
