¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHello Phil,But... there is only one audio device and that's the "default" device. Nono.. you misunderstand.? When I say "default" I literally mean it: ?? ADEVICE default The word "default" is a PulseAudio/Pipewire special device that will send/receive audio to any application if the correct audio it "routed" to it using tools like "pavucontrol" This is used when the FT-991A? is connected and Direwolf works. In this line, the "plughw" is a specific rate adaptive ALSA control that is exclusively managing the hardware device "0,0" And this is the only audio device ("default") when the radio is not connected and Direwolf is also happy again. Does your computer really not have any sound devices on it when no radios, SDRs, etc. are connected?? I ask because I view that having some other device to send various computer UI beeps, boops, etc.notications to is important to have sent to the operator and NOT sent over say one of your radio's sound cards with the risk of being sent over the air. The problem is that SDRconnect also uses the default device. No.. the SDRconnect application will be creating it's own audio which is called a audio "source" and that audio stream is then routed via the pavucontrol application to the appropriate "sink" aka sound-device to play that audio stream.? The same methodology/terminology is used for sound recording aka "microphones" for routing any captured audio and routing it to the correct application for processing.? I recommend you do some review on PulseAudio and/or Pipewire terminology and see how it all works.? For example: ?? I have and used to use "soundmodem" before I became aware of Direwolf, Direwolf is a big improvement. UZ7HO's Soundmodem has similar performance to Direwolf with weak signal decodes and yes, it's a big improvement.? In addition to routing audio around using pavucontrol, Gqrx supports direct audio routing for uses with say Direwolf: ?? --David KI6ZHD |
