4. RECORDING THE CAPTURED AUDIO

Make sure the XVF3510 kit and speakers remain static during testing. If they are moved to new positions, the 

adaptive algorithms will require a few seconds to adjust to the new audio environment.

1.  Open a music player on the host PC (or RPi) and play a stereo music file. 

Ensure that the default sound output device matches your evaluation setup. You should hear this music 

through the powered speakers. Adjust the volume using either the music player or the speakers.

2.  Open Audacity and configure it to communicate with the VocalFusion Dev Kit.
