Easy-Digi CODEC not installing

 

I am having trouble adding a sound card. My Easy-Digi is not adding the CODEC sound card to the Pi when I plug in the USB. A Signalink works fine on the same Pi. The Pi seems to see the device, lsusb sees it and ls /dev shows it is added as ttyUSB0, but it will not appear in the sound card dropdown in Audio Device Settings. I am running Stretch on a Pi 3B. Does anyone know how I can resolve this? Thanks for your help.?
 

If it is showing as /dev/ttyUSB0, it is showing up as a serial communication port (Like Windows COM#), not a sound card.
These are very different devices.

Your Easy Digi has two types of connections to your Pi - audio connections and a PTT connection. As Rob mentioned, the one showing up as ttyUSB0 is the serial adapter, for the PTT connection. How are you connecting the audio from the Easy Digi to your Pi? Depending on exactly which Easy Digi variant you have, it likely came with two audio cables, so what are those connected to? On a Pi, you'll want a USB sound card for that, which will show up separately in lsusb.

Easy Digi does not contain a sound card. It is merely an interface between a sound card and a radio. The USB device you are seeing controls PTT to the radio.

Thank you Martin. I am gaining understanding on how these devices work. I am using a Kenwood TM-281?in this configuration.?

On the Easy-Digi, besides the cables to the microphone and the USB to the Pi, there are two speaker cables.?

One cable from the E-D (labeled "Radio SPKR Jack") on the E-D is connected to the radio speaker jack.?

There are two other connections on the E-D.?
RX Audio to PC?
and?
TX Audio from PC?

I have tried connecting each of these to the Composite Video and Audio Output Jack on the Pi with no result.?

Thank you for this Patrick. So do I need an additional device besides the E-D added to the Pi??

You'll need a USB sound card. You connect the Easy Digi RX & TX audio to the input and output of the sound card, and plug the sound card into the Pi's USB port.

Thank you so much! I have one of these on the way.?

Well that did not work. I have the Signalink back on that Pi so the digipeater KD9CCE-10 is back online but I sure would like to figure out the Easy Digi.

What did not work?? Are you inferring your new Sabrent USB sound device isn't working with Direwolf??? If so, what issue are you seeing?? Did you follow the Direwolf User Guide to determine it's device name (aplay -l), etc. to get it all setup?
