  • Is there an officially recommended setup for ReSpeaker on Jetson Orin Nano?

We dont recommend setup for specific USB sound cards on Jetson Orin Nano as its plug and play usually. But if there are any S/W driver related errors, we help resolving them. But in this case, looks like usb sound card registration went through fine. So I doubt if there will be any Linux USB Kernel driver issues.

  • Are there alternative firmware versions that might fix this issue?

Regarding fimware versions, can you elaborate on who provided the initial version and what is the rols of firmware. Seeed ReSpeaker? They may be able to provide info regarding firmware
