FreeDV with PulseAudio support

[Mooneer Salem]

Hi all,

I've been working on a version of FreeDV with PulseAudio support over the holiday period so we don't have to continue waiting for PortAudio to support it. Can those of you running Linux give it a shot and let me know how it goes? The following should work on a Debian-based distro, with changes as appropriate for installing PulseAudio libraries on others:

sudo apt install libpulse-dev

git clone https://github.com/drowe67/freedv-gui.git

cd freedv-gui

git checkout ms-pulseaudio

./build_linux.sh

and to run:

cd build_linux

src/freedv

(If you prefer to build FreeDV without using the build_linux.sh script, just make sure to include -DUSE_PULSEAUDIO=1 in the cmake call. Otherwise, it will continue using PortAudio as before.)

Anyway, please comment here or in the associated pull request (https://github.com/drowe67/freedv-gui/pull/194) if you run into any issues.

Thanks (and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays),

Seemed to work for me fine. I didn't try transmitting or anything but configuring and showing input audio on the waterfall was successful.

Thanks,

If you have a look here Richard

https://github.com/drowe67/freedv-gui/pull/194

you can see my comments (as Tyrbiter) about the pavucontrol oddity I'm
seeing on Fedora 35 using pipewire and pipewire-pulse, maybe you could
compare your experience and see if it's something bizarre at my end.

FYI, I pushed some changes into that repo this morning that may or may not help.

Also, since there were significant changes to how audio's handled in general, I'd appreciate if Windows and Mac users can test and make sure nothing broke on those platforms. Prebuilt binaries for those platforms are up at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hcfdey5o9m14n2k/AACOXutWd88yska77pzHP7uPa?dl=0.

Yes, OK, I saw those. I thought Richard might be a good reviewer as he
also uses Fedora 35.

FYI I am in the process of a reinstall of the pipewire packages after
moving the conf files out of their usual places so that the default
configuration is loaded, I will also do this for wireplumber. Once
that's done I will get the latest git code and try again.

On the bleeding edge... ;-)

It crashes when I click on start after configuring the audio devices.

OS is Ubuntu 20.04

This is the output of the gdb debugger

I tried again and this time it is not crashing but something is not right. The digital (700d and all other modes)
signal is going out in bursts when I click the ptt. The same when I look at my microphone signal in the GUI.
Also the waterfall doesn't look right.

Hi Mooneer

I tried your latest build on a windows machine and at first VB cable was not recognised and then the inbuilt microphone was not identified.

I then tried an earlier version of 6.1 and your latest 6.2 and initially I had issues with VB cable but after a few attempts the older versions  worked normally. At this stage I have not retried the latest build to try and quantify the issue. I got distracted trying to prove that I didn't have an issue with sound devices on the computer! The original error message referred to the virtual cable not being present even though it showed up in the audio setup options.

Hi Peter (and others who are interested),

I have a new build up at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7bexzi2unuw0zzw/AADigPmDE7veVgF5NxyPZFFBa?dl=0 that will probably fix the issue you're having (as well as crashes on Windows that others have reported). Let me know how that goes.

Thanks,

Hi Bob,

I'm seeing something similar with the plots in single sound card mode with my Ubuntu VM (running on VMware) but I haven't been able to determine what's going on yet. This only happens if I choose the VM's "alsa_input" device for the radio device and not the output's monitor (or QuiskDigitalOutput when running Quisk). I added a bit more logging to that branch; do you see any timeout messages when transmitting or receiving? 

Additionally, can you try using other PulseAudio applications (such as parecord) with your system's audio devices and let me know if those work okay?

Thanks,

-Mooneer K6AQ

Hi Mooner

Results same but different! This time the device complained about is my inbuilt microphone which is visible in the audio setup. I have not been able to get FreeDV to run.

Audio Set up RX - Cable OP (VB-Cable) - Speakers,  Tx - Microphone - Cable IP (VB_Cable).

After pressing Start I get error  message (cant find mic)and then in Audio setup I have RX - Cable OP (VB-Cable) - Cable IP (VB_Cable), Tx- none - none.

At all times the mic is identified as available audio device and can be selected within audio setup.

Hi all,

I have new builds up at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/000yx7vmp6fy11v/AAB5jXc0reTjSZ_BbvI96rDga?dl=0 to resolve the issue Peter saw with being able to open certain sound devices on Windows.

Hi all,

Some additional issues were found since the last build, which should be fixed on the 2022-01-14 build I genera: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/evbhjxflnpoecds/AAD-wPo3Nf8mTJIrnISnEJFXa?dl=0. This also bumps up the version to 1.7.0. As always, let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Mooneer,

I updated the source here but when I compile it I see ALSA and not PulseAudio devices in the audio config.
(I'm really on branch ms-pulseaudio and 1.7)

Hi Bob,

The current head of ms-pulseaudio compiles for PortAudio by default. To use PulseAudio instead, you'll need to pass "pulseaudio" to build_linux.sh, e.g.

$ ./build_linux.sh pulseaudio

This is also mentioned in README.md but please let me know if you have suggestions for improvement in that regard.

Thanks,
