Re: VAC & ASIO Under/Overflows

Can you show the settings screen from Voicemeeter and a snapshot of the full mixer panel too?

Re: Anyone still working on linHPSDR?

He had mentioned to me that he was mainly working on the Pi controller version. I ran into some audio issues that I think were a sampling rate thing with Ubuntu 22.04 last I was playing with it. It was too far over my head in the code to get it fix with random hammering on it. My audio is all virtua...

Re: AM TX low cut filter non-op

The TX EQ will have an effect.

I just save a separate AM transmit profile with more of the low end reduced in the TX EQ and the carrier level set to 85.

Re: Identifying strange panadapter waveform

And what makes you say it's VAC instability? Not sure that would explain why resetting audio in Thetis fixes it (other than recreating the audio device to VAC). VBAudio is used by audio professionals with multiple tracks without any such problems. FWIW the same instability happens with my Sun SDR a...

Re: Do you have ASIO working with any digital programs like FLDigi, WSJT-X, or JTDX?

I think Scott has a Voicemeeter howto here somewhere, it's kind of abstract without pictures. Your microphone interface typically gets assigned to Input 1 and would use ASIO if your USB interface supports it. The radio gets attached via one of the three virtual busses. As an example let's use VAOI3 ...

Re: Do you have ASIO working with any digital programs like FLDigi, WSJT-X, or JTDX?

I think people are confusing the path. ASIO is for your physical interface. When you connect Thetis and fldigi you aren’t using your microphone audio interface, you just need a software link between the digi software and Thetis. A virtual audio cable gives you that software link. Voicemeeter effecti...

With SDRs, RF getting into the audio often sounds like reverb, it doesn't typically have the same sound as a conventional rig with RF on the audio.

So this morning on Windows I set up for 48kHz with 64 buffer. It glitched a few times with getting Reaper to play nice. Then Thetis did its thing where I had to toggle the sampling rates around a few times, toggle VAC on and off, before it would "sync" and play ball. It's solid as I'm runn...

The results so far are that things are definitely more stable than they were. I've only had one glitch on startup and it was on Windows with Thetis.

Re: Possible remedy to instability with USB interfaces - a dedicated USB card

Just using one of the type A ports as the interface doesn’t really support or need USB 3.0. It probably won’t get you below 70ms. I have no need for that with my operating. Considering the transition of TX and RX getting that low is quite a task. I run the auto mode for the ring buffers, far less tr...

I just built linHPSDR today, on an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS system. Compiled and runs nicely btw. It was all working fine until I got my monkey paws into something that screwed it up.
