Audio output is broken for this port. gqrx works out of the box but hangs after stopping / restarting the SDR.

Audio output is broken for this port.

To be honest I just posted an image to show that I was getting some output from my device.

I still haven't figured out how to get any audio output from sdr++ but have managed to listen to a station using a command line program

rtl_fm -f 100.9M -M wbfm -s 200k -r 48k | play -r 48k -t raw -e signed-integer -b 16 -c 1 -

so I should be able to get sdr++ working with some tinkering.

CubicSDR works with comms/soapysdr-rtlsdr also installed.

Is CubicSDR a pkg? I can't find it.


oops pkg is called cubicsdr (no caps)

$  pkg search -o cubicsdr
comms/cubicsdr                 SDR receiver using liquidsdr

comms/cubicsdr

Under Module Manager, I don't see Audio Output. I only see Audio Source.

Its a weird setup. You want to choose from the dropdown in that settings area."Audio Source".
To the left of the dropdown is an empty box. You want to add a new device by Naming it in that box.
Its really an odd setup.. Look online for help. That's how I figured it out.

It still had really bad audio quality when I got it working compared to gqrx.

Can I scan for stations using rtl_fm ?
