Re: "Timeout waiting for input from audio device 0" on Windows
Try changing the default sampling rate of 44100? to 48000 by using the -r switch, i.e.:?
direwolf -r 48000
I've seen a similar issue with one or two Direwolf instances on a Raspberry and a netbook.? Switching to 48000 fixed it.

Another very good thought... sadly, this happens without the screen saver: I can be quietly using the system (answering an email like I am now or surfing the web) and ... bang!? The Error occurs.

Given that these things cost, basically, nothing... I guess I wouldn't be surprised if it was some sort of device problem.
I'm using one of these:
Can anyone suggest a "known to work without problems on Windows" USB sound device?? And, while we're at it, suggestions for "known to work on RPI" would also be helpful -- I just may move the whole setup to an RPI and see if it avoids the problem.

Re: "Timeout waiting for input from audio device 0" on Windows
Just a thought: I have a known bad USB sound card, it has a tendency to overheat after 'x' amount of time, (varies) depending on ambient temperature and air flow near it. The system (linux or Windows) loses it. I can restart USB discovery and it usually finds it again, or I can unplug and re-plug it in and it gets rediscovered. Logs seldom gave a reason. I only use it for testing now (I hate to throw away anything, I'm a hoarder) but not for anything long term.

Re: "Timeout waiting for input from audio device 0" on Windows
Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. A very good thought.
Unfortunately, stray RF isn't the problem in this particular case.? I'm currently running receive-only (iGating received packets only) with no transmit happening at all.

Random timeouts like this tend to point at RF interfering with your USB device.
If you don't have a USB cable with a ferrite choke built in, you should probably look into that, or try out one of the clip on ferrite beads on your USB cable.

"Timeout waiting for input from audio device 0" on Windows
Hey folks, I've just started playing with Direwolf... I'm running it on a (fairly powerful) Windows machine, via a (cheap) USB sound device.? It's decoding incredibly well. WAY better than my ancient TH-D700.? Yay! However, I can't get it to run continuously.? Boo! Periodically (after running for a period of between 1 minute and 1 hour) I get:
Timeout waiting for input from audio device 0.
Terminating after audio input failure.
and Direwolf exits.
I would love some suggestions about what to DO about this. I looked at the source code, and the timeout interval (as well as the number of "allowed" timeouts) is hard-coded (and thus, not configurable).
Anybody have any ideas?
TIA,

Re: Anyone Using L76X GPS HAT?
Here are the details I use:
In /boot/config.txt, use your favorite editor to add the following at the end of the existing file:
# L76x GPS Hat settings: enable_uart=1 init_uart_baud=9600 # if "pps" capable: dtoverlay=pps-gpio,gpiopin=18
In /etc/default/gpsd, edit as follows:
DEVICES="/dev/ttyS0"? ? # modify if your serial port assignment is different USBAUTO="false" GPSD_OPTIONS="-b -n" GPSD_SOCKET="/var/run/gpsd.sock" START_DAEMON="true"
After restart, test with: cgps
Hope this helps!

Re: GPS via Bluetooth from iPhone?
The difficulty is that apps cannot use the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) on iOS, only Bluetooth Low Energy. GPS2IP, for example, can send GPS data over BLE (I’ve integrated support for that protocol in QTH.app) but not NMEA statements over Bluetooth Serial like I assume Direwolf requires.
- Wes W8WJB?
I don't do iPhones, but there are apps for GPS sharing on most platforms.? I would guess iPhones have them too. Although I know Apple doesn't like some versions of Bluetooth. A quick search gave me GPS2IP - it lists "stream over BLE.

You might want to take a look at the digipi offering.? It will run on a pi3 as well.

I had some great instructions on my Git hub journey using the Direwolf for APRS doc.
I'm looking for suggestions hoping the rest goes as well.

Re: Can't Build Direwolf (hamlib?)
David,
I build mine with Hamlib 4.5.5 (the latest stable release), for both Linux Mint 21.2 and Windows 10x64.? That seems to work fine.
Just for curiosity (not out of need) I tried the latest test Hamlib 4.5.6 (which built and runs fine on its own) and had problems with integration with JS8Call and Direwolf, but it's not stable yet so there may be build fixes being worked on.
Also, I build the latest Direwolf 1.7 test version.

Re: RPi Direwolf packet station.
Hey John: Good to see another Santa Clara County
Packet person here!?? Anyway, thanks for mentioning your NodeJS
repo as I didn't know that existed!
Mike:? Expanding on my previous comment, if you're just looking
for packet terminal programs, here is a list of packet terminal
programs for various operating systems:

If you're looking to actually have a software-TNC emulate the
command line interface of a TNC2 TNC accessed via an RS232 serial

Re: Can't Build Direwolf (hamlib?)
Hmmm.. strange.? A few questions:
?? - What version of DIrewolf are you building?? On github, the
"master" branch is for 1.6 and the "dev" branch is on 1.7-Beta
Test7".?
?? - What version of Hamlib are you using?? I just built Direwolf
1.7b7 against Hamlib 3.3 on one machine w/o issue though I know
this version of hamlib is very old.? Raspberry Pi OS 12/Bullseye
has Hamlib 4.0-7
?? - What OS and version are you running on your Pi?
Ps.? I know that the Raspberry Pi Os group recently moved specific
identifiers in their repo to say Bullseye from being "stable" to
"oldstable" in preparation for the release of the new "Bookworm"
release that is due out any day.? I don't see how that could
impact you.

Re: Digipeater build.... not hearing packets
One other note. It looks like the audio input levels in the logs are a bit low. The periodic audio info is indicating that the average audio level is close to 0.
You can bring the audio up to closer to the 75 - 100 range.?
You could increase the audio input, either via the radio volume, and/or the alsamixer mic level.
That might help to hear more packets.

Re: Digipeater build.... not hearing packets
Excellent. Glad it's working for you.
?
Looks like your station is i-gating packets. You can look at activity through aprs.fi, note the graph link on the info page.
https://aprs.fi/info/a/W7SEA-15
?
Also, if you look at raw packets you can see that some recent packets with a TCPIP destination are going to T2ALBERTA.
That's the T2 server your stations is connected to.?
You can look up the server list here. https://status.aprs2.net/ if you click the T2ALBERTA link, you should see stats on your station.

Re: Digipeater build.... not hearing packets
Brent (and others), my ADEVICE line 86 said "ADEVICE stdin plughw:1,0"? I removed "stdin" and Direwolf started scrolling on my screen, actually displaying the beacons (WX etc) I was seeing on my AT878's screen.? It also seems to be showing when I'm digipeating.? My radio is showing both Rx and Tx.? I wanted to go to the APRSC website and see if I could find my activity, but I didn't write down the URL at initial bootup.? How do I find myself on that website? Does it sound like I'm there?
