I2S conflict for Audio output (MAX98357A #include "Audio.h") and Audio input (INMP441, #include <driver/i2s.h>)

[Rikolleti]

Hello everyone !

I tried to use MAX98357A and INMP441 on my ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 (N16R8) and faced with drivers conflict:
"CONFLICT! The new i2s driver can't work along with the legacy i2s driver"
Device just doing circle reboot with this message.

How can I fix this ?

I'm having the same problem, did you come across a solution?

[schreibfaul1]

It might help to change the i2sPort, by default it is I2S_NUM_0, so that input and output use different ports
e.g.
Audio.audio(1);

[trizzant]

I tried that but I still get this error message:

"CONFLICT! The new i2s driver can't work along with the legacy i2s driver"

This message comes up anytime I include the legacy I2S drivers for the amp (audio.h), and the included I2S drivers for the mic.

I can only get Google tts to work using audio.h
