If the VIPA device which is hosting the MPS microphone is a VIPET (or a Linutop), then follow
the steps below.

a.

Add a

BGM PMC Stream

node to the VIPET which is hosting the MPS microphone; see

Figure 13 (page 48).

•

Stream

: “1”

•

Audio Group

: Audio group assigned to the Linutop’s PMC Output; see step 3 above.

Example: Audio Groups = “music-mps-01”
