;-). A man(ual) page is detailed spec. Reading all options can be quite
intimidating. I just skip to the examples section in the beginning. I
only use options to override defaults.

-D requires an argument.
$ arecord -d 5 -f cd Pi4-alsa-1.wav
will sample mic at 44khz (16-bit little endian) for 5 seconds and store
it in wav format file (-t wav is the default anyway).

The "output" argument to -D is not a valid audio input device. What
valid audio input devices does "arecord -l" show? You could also use
alsamixer TUI to see all valid input/output devices, check their
gain/vol settings and test recording and playback.

The default device is not available (bad driver?) or misconfigured. Try
listing audio devices with arecord -l and then pick the appropriate name
to use with -D.
