only one client can grab an ALSA input or output device. Take, for example, the case of a browser playing a video or as in your case a sound server does already access the device, then neither a music player or by command line something else can use the same ALSA device, too. Before arecord can access the ALSA device, pipewire must be disconnected from it. As soon as pipewire released the audio device, test with arecord again.
I will try this evening to stop pipewire and try running arecord again. -- Iyán Méndez Veiga GPG 0x422E3694311E5AC1
