Using a 7300. All settings on the server computer are set according to instructions. I’ve noticed the following:
The server runs on Linux Mint 21.1.
2 Windows 11 machines and 1 Windows 10 used as clients.
All Windows machines are set the same.
I can connect to all of the machines. Occasionally I will not hear sound no matter what client I use. In order to get sound I have to ‘flip’ the sound output of the sound card on the Linux computer running as server on the desktop from analog output to digital or digital to analog (which I can do remotely). What’s funny is that once ‘flipped’ on the sound icons sound setting screen (i am talking about the sound OUTPUT) I can go back and forth with no change in the audio. Usually I see this more with a Windows 11 machine than with Windows 10.
My quesations go like this:
On the server:
Should I have analog or digital inputs and output selected on the sound card? My thought is that they should be digital since the server is processing a digital connection from the client.
Does it matter what the microphone is set to on the server. Currently, the radio setup is set for USB.
On the client:
I have the audio coming from my headset so the client is picking up the headset. I have the metering setup to see the TX audio… the radio is setup for USB. Is that correct. ?
In summary,
What is the proper setting on a client for the radio --USB
What is the proper setting on Linux for the server Radio USB?
Is there a bug with Pulseaudio on Linux that keeps the server from connecting properly to a remote client?
Has this been tested with Pipewire as an alternative to Pulseaudio on Linux?
BTW the Linux machine is a core 2 duo machine.
Windows Machines are 2 I5s amd 1 I11.
Maybe I have to write a bash script on the Linux box to somehow stop and restart alsa or pulse audio on the server. I’ve known of one other program that has that problem. Its a radio automation program called Rivendell. The developer of that program disables Pulseaudio entirely and relies on Alsa to do all the audio handeling. Just food for thought…
