Image update RPI-5 (5.12 image)

[pa3gsb]

Hi All,

I have updated the image with the latest trixie version.

Beside the trixie update i also update the pihpsdr.

Enjoy

Many thanks Johan,

I'm having some trouble trying to get QSSTV and wsjtx audio to work. 

I only get the audio to work if I don't open pIhpsdr but when I open pihpsdr then theres no audio in pihpsdr.

I could always get it to work with Pi4 but maybe something I'm doing wrong?

Regards,

Duane

Hi Johan
Thanks a lot for this new image, it works perfectly here.
It's a shame we have to reconfigure it with our personal settings.

Duane,

Hard to understand your issue; looked into the manual of pihpsdr:

From the manual:

2.2.2 The RX spectrum looks fine, but I hear no RX
signal
Many radios do not have built-in audio codecs. In this case, you must choose
local audio output in the RX menu.
(this section will be extended if other ,,frequent problems” are reported to
me.)

Hope this helps,

Great stuff Johan, thanks for the update! I have picked it up, but travelling on business, so I'll stick it on a card next weekend.

I upgraded to Christophs early February piHPSDR release, to, among other things, get PPM frequency correction instead Hz. 

On the RadioBerry unit I have using Hz produces an inaccuracy of +/-120Hz per 5MHz. 

I have had no issues with that early February version of Christophs, so I think it's a good choice.

My FT8 5 band monitor (80-20 night time, 20-10 day time) @48KHz/band, uses SparkSDR and it works fine, I simply offset the frequency slightly - it tickles my OCD though ;-)

Started with RadioBerry because I had a pi4 lying around doing nothing and thought "why not"... 

And then you came out with this pi5 update and I didn't think "why not" I thought "must have" :-D

Cheers and happy experimenting.

Thanks for the new image.  I tried it out this morning and I seem to have an audio issue as well.  Something changed with the recieve setup in piHPSDR.  The 'Loca Audio Output' check box is missing.  I know I need to check this to get audio.  Also my HDMI audio is working okay, as I tried playing a YouTube video on the Raspberry Pi with the new image and all worked okay with that.

Duane,

Just select your audio device

I think you have selected the NR3 option without an antenna signal it will be quite.

Hope this helps (i do have audio).

That did it for me.  Either I selected NR3 unknowingly or it was on by default.  Anyway, I hear audio now.

Hi Johan,

Ok let me try clarify the audio issue I had with using wsjtx or QSSTV and Pihpsdr at the same time on the PI5

I select my USB sound card in Pihpsdr which works like it should. If I then go and open wsjtx and try select the USB sound card then it says it's busy.

If I close PIhpsdr then I'm able to get the sound card working in wsjtx or QSSTV. If I then open up Pih[sdr then I'm unable to select the USB sound card.

On my Pi4 I was able to run Pihsdr and wsjtx or QSSTV at the same time and share the same sound card.

What I done now is install 2 USB sound cards, 1 for Pihpsdr and the other for wsjtx which works fine as a workaround. 

Regards,

Duane

Duane,

You are using your device on rpi-5 different ; more exclusive . I think you use default alsa on your rpi-4.

This is not an image issue but the improvement of  the new operation system, trixie.

There are multiple ways of solving this problem.

1. Use virtual audio cable as described in  https://github.com/dl1ycf/pihpsdr/releases/download/v2.5/piHPSDR-Manual-v2.5.pdf

2. Use sparksdr which is also provided on the  image .

3.  use default device (if using hw:card type of selections your are using it exclusive with problems you described)

4. Keep it as you setup is working.

Have fun
