Hello Phil,
My understanding is that the default audio device is the ALSA
device. I'm probably wrong and I'll test that idea.
Right.. and with using a different Direwolf "ADEVICE" setting in the
direwolf.conf file, this should work
I was receiving SSTV from the ISS using SDRconnect and QSSTV. When
the ISS experimented ended I thought I'd try receiving APRS
messages from the ISS but I quickly discovered that SDRConnect and
Direwolf won't cooperate with each other because of the shared
audio device. I overcame that problem by using GQRX which has an
inbuilt ARRS viewer.
Yup.. very true though GQRX's AX.25 decoder can't touch the weak
signal decoding capabilities of Direwolf.? If you do a comparison,
you'll see.? The Gqrx developers openly mention this and even have
talked about removing that function and just tell user to use
Direwolf but the convenience is too high to drop it IMHO.
If I were to use my FT-991A then there isn't problem because the
use of the radio introduces a new audio device which means that
there isn't a shared audio device.
Ok.. got it.? Utimately, for a receive only situation like using
SDRs, using Pulse/Pipeaudio should work just fine.? It's when using
then for transmissions, then things get weird at times and that's
when I recommend to only use ALSA devices.
