alsa cant initialize on raspberry pi 5

[sy-project]

I can use alsa command

# aplay -l

and I can aplay to use wav file.

This code said

alsa start
alsa open capture handle
alsa open playback handle
alsa pcm hw param alloc
alsa capture_handle set start
snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_size_near cant set hw params. [Invalid argument]

what should I do?

I believe this bug tracker is not the right place to ask for code reviews. Alsa is clearly working on your raspi, as you verified that with aplay yourself, so there must be bugs in your own code. For the first error it seems you do not initialize bufferSize or periodSize with reasonable values, it even tells you that in the error.

Whenever your code is not working, I generally recommend comparing your code very carefully to working code or examples such as this one and try to find the problematic places yourself first before asking for help - that is also a good way to learn finding and fixing bugs by yourself.
