body: <p>I have a USB microphone and speaker adapter connected to a Raspberry Pi 3. I have set up everything on alsamixer. I have also set the <code>pcm.!default sysdefault:0</code> in file <code>.asoundrc</code> in the home directory which sets the USB audio adapter as the default audio card.</p>
  <p>I have run: <code>aplay -l</code> and the output is:</p>
  <pre><code>card 0: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 0: bcm2835 ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA]

  <p>I then set the pcm.!default sysdefault:0 in file <code>.asoundrc</code> in the home directory.</p>
  <p>When I run the command <code>arecord -d 5 -r 48000 test.wav</code> I receive this error:</p>
