Hello,

I hope you are doing well and safe.

I had recently received the RTL-SDR and got a challenge when I wanted to get the audio. As you can see in the attachment, I have the signal, but I got an issue in the terminal and can not hear the call.

I am on macOS for your information and am happy to share more details to solve the issue.

Thanks.

J.

For your information, I have tried to run volk_profile without success.

Your setup looks similar to mine - I have more audio devices. I have the same version of PortAudio and everything works Ok. You could try to specify the output device by selecting it from the list or try plugging in an extern USB earphones to see if that works.

1. The squelch level is set too high (-10dB). You may try to reset it's level to -150dB to make it open (Press "R" button).

2. I've faced the issue with uderflowing buffer too. There is some dumb fix for it:
