Error while checking audio capture device - alsa

Question

Hello I am trying to check if a Beaglebone AI is getting correctly I2S from a TIDA-1454 so if I try to arecord test.wav I get:
debian#beaglebone:/etc$ arecord -d 10 ALSA lib
pcm_dsnoop.c:638:(snd_pcm_dsnoop_open) unable to open slave arecord:
main:828: audio open error: No such file or directory
But the card is detected since i get this output from arecord -l:
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 1: PCM5102a [PCM5102a], device 0: davinci-mcasp.0-pcm5102a-hifi pcm5102a-hifi-0 []

or arecord -L:

### PLUGS ##
### used with darkice
### device = plug:plug_onboard_left
pcm.plug_onboard_capture_left{
type plug

So what can it be the problem?

Answer 1

When recording you should tell alsa what device to use:
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 1: PCM5102a [PCM5102a], device 0: davinci-mcasp.0-pcm5102a-hifi >pcm5102a-hifi-0 []
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Your device address is : hw:1,0 (card 1, device 0 )
So :
arecord --device="hw:1,0" test.wav
He should ask you for the format, for instance:
Available format:
- S8
- S16_LE
Then you can add the format :
arecord --device="hw:1,0" -f S16_LE test.wav
