Hello, I'm experiencing problems with external mics on a AM v1.2.0 (sw 1.6.0). They worked well a few months ago, like the SPM0204UD5 (see previous post from Edwin) and Animal sound Labs ME4-em. But now I don't get any recordings with external mic, no reaction at all. I barely used the device so wear is not the cause. Am I overlooking something or is there a possible software or hardware issue? I tried several cables, even directly, but no difference. No problems with the mics neither, they work just fine. One thing puzzles me: I used the mics with the previous sw-version when I tested them the first time, now I have 1.6.0. Could this be related? Is there anyone who is using the same mics with sw 1.6.0? Thanks for thinking with me. All the best, David.

No. Can you try again.
Can you email me at alex@openacousticdevices.info so we can investigate the hardware.
I tried 3 and all the same result.
Yes, it's correct that the device makes recordings and switches from internal to external but on the ext mic it stays completely silent.
Those are the headers from the recordings:
