Re: Bookworm & Direwolf 1.8 not saving sound volumes
David,
I have used sudo alsactl save , but put in the port number to also try.
systemctl | grep alsa does respond with "loaded active exited"
?
The only thing in /etc/alsa/ is a directory conf.d .? Not the state-daemon.conf? file.
?? In /etc/alsa/conf.d are multiple additional directories.

I've loaded Bookworm and Direwolf on 4 other Pi's without any other issues several months ago.? Now things are fighting me.? One difference is I don't want WiFi running on this Pi, so I did not set this up.? I wouldn't think WiFi settings would cause a problem, but I do get a warning when I log in after a reboot.

Re: No data being sent
开云体育Hello Grayson, Does the audio go down to zero every time Direwolf tries to transmit??? If it goes down to zero, can you try INCREASING the audio level in alsamixer and then wait for Direwolf to transmit again (don't restart Direwolf... just wait).? Does the TX audio again go down?? If it indeed goes down, either the CM108 on the board is miswired (the output GPIO pin on the CM108 is somehow connected to the CM108's "volume down" input pin, RFI is getting into the CM108 chip, etc. I would recommend to email the Kits4HAMs people and see if this is a known issue. --David KI6ZHD On 12/09/2024 10:34 AM, gm0043 via

Re: No data being sent
开云体育What sound device are you using?? There are some known issues with say early versions of the Digirig where the key up signal would lower the output audio levels, etc.? The Direwolf User Guide does a good job on giving an overview of how to set the audio levels but if you want more examples, you can see my guide at: ?? --David KI6ZHD On 12/09/2024 07:46 AM, gm0043 via

No data being sent
I'm having an issue with getting data to send with Direwolf 1.7 on a Raspberry Pi with Bookworm. It can receive fine and PTT activates when a message should be sent but it's only the carrier and no data. All of the volume settings are correct but the speaker volume is forced to zero, I don't know if this is supposed to be happening because I couldn't find anything about it in the documentation but I could have missed it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am also quite new to all of this so feel free to explain as much as possible.
?
Thank you,

Re: Bookworm & Direwolf 1.8 not saving sound volumes

Re: Bookworm & Direwolf 1.8 not saving sound volumes
开云体育Hello Arnold, Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm uses systemd and it should have already installed the following Systemd unit files to restore your saved audio levels via: ??? /usr/lib/systemd/system/alsa-restore.service You can see if it's recognized by running this command: ?? systemctl | grep alsa ?? -- ?? alsa-restore.service??????????????????????????????????????? loaded??? active exited??? Save/Restore Sound Card State ?? -- If it's not showing up on your Pi, you need to troubleshoot that.? There is one noted caveat mentioned in the "1.3 ALSA and systemd" section in of why that might happen.? Specifically the /etc/alsa/state-daemon.conf file cannot exist to let the audio levels be restored.? Does that /etc/alsa/state-daemon.conf file exist on your Pi?? If so, do you need it?? Maybe you just saved the audio levels of the wrong souncard card?? Try just running: ?? #saves the levels of all sound devices ?? sudo alsactl save where this more basic command will save ALL sound device levels and then reboot.? Did your required levels now get saved? --David KI6ZHD On 12/08/2024 03:21 PM, Arnold Harding

Re: Bookworm & Direwolf 1.8 not saving sound volumes
I too have found this to be an issue with bookworm while running Direwolf 1.7. My guess is that this will also work with 1.8. My workaround was to install pule audio then install pauvcontrol
sudo apt-get install pauvcontrol This will allow for adjustment of levels. Default is 100% which is too high. It won't save settings after reboot. To set pulse settings permenantly: pactl get-default-source // make sure default is USB card // this is for input / rcv pactl get-default-source alsa_input.usb-C-Media_Electronics_Inc._USB_Audio_Device-00.mono-fallback pactl get-default-sink // This is for output / xmit pactl get-default-sink alsa_output.usb-C-Media_Electronics_Inc._USB_Audio_Device-00.analog-stereo FOR INPUT (rcv): pactl set-source-volume alsa_input.usb-C-Media_Electronics_Inc._USB_Audio_Device-00.mono-fallback 10% FOR OUTPUT (xmit): pactl set-sink-volume $(pactl get-default-sink) 73% pactl set-sink-volume alsa_output.usb-C-Media_Electronics_Inc._USB_Audio_Device-00.analog-stereo 73% These percent settings are for my particular sound card. Re-run each command to adjust the settings to your liking. This will remember your audio settings for you. This command is only found in bookworm, not in previous OS's. -- Mike WB8ERJ Packet BBS email: WB8ERJ@WB8ERJ.#NEOH.OH.USA.NOAM Geeze! What is he up to now? |
Re: Bookworm & Direwolf 1.8 not saving sound volumes
开云体育Greetings Arnold.After <F6> and choosing the correct sound card before making adjustments, then <Esc> to exit, did you "sudo alsactl store"? Your Rpi may have several audio devces, so <F6> to choose the correct one is important. If I may ask, please. how did you determine "alsactl store 1 " as the correct device?

Re: Bookworm & Direwolf 1.8 not saving sound volumes
David,
Yes, it is Raspberry Pi OS, Bookworm.
?
Looks like I didn't use "alsastl restore".? Where should this go?
I didn't look for /var/lib/alsa/asound.state file yet, but I'll try Restore first.
?
Thanks again,
Arnold, KQ6DI

Re: Bookworm & Direwolf 1.8 not saving sound volumes
开云体育Hello Arnold, I assume you're using Raspberry Pi OS correct?? In your direwolf.conf file, what sound devices are you using via your various specified ADEVICEs?? Few things to check: ?? - does the saved ALSA level file /var/lib/alsa/asound.state file exist? ?? - Upon restart, how are you running "alsastl restore" to restore the saved audio levels? Btw, I recommend to just run "alsactl store" to save ALL sound device levels and not just specific cards. --David KI6ZHD

Bookworm & Direwolf 1.8 not saving sound volumes
I have Direwolf working in a Pi 3B, and I am unable to have the sound devices volumes get properly restored after a reboot.
It receives fine, and transmits fine, and I can adjust volumes easily using alsamixer, but on the next power-up, all of the volumes need to get re-adjusted again.? I can use
sudo alsactl store 1? (or no channel, or 2 or 3) and the next power-up the sound devices are messed up yet again.
I'm using a usual CM108 sound card, so nothing unusual.
?
It should be easy, but I haven't seen the clue as to what yet.
?
Thanks.
Arnold, KQ6DI

Re: compile direwolf in Pi with Bookworm

Re: compile direwolf in Pi with Bookworm
I've never been in a hurry do get things done properly, but thanks for the reminder.
I use either a Pi 3 or Zero 2W.? They are plenty fast.? The slowest part is usually downloading over whatever internet I have available.? The number or cores doesn't make much difference when I only have a small straw to download through...
