Hi

Newbie looking for some advice.
I have a Raspberry PI4 running Bookwork OS. I have installed SparkSDR 2.0.992 for the Linux ARM64. The receiver is an RSP1A.
The good news for me, is that I am able to receive FT8 streams. I can see the results have been uploaded onto PSKReporter.
The bit I am struggling with, is the Audio side of things. 
To elaborate, when I go into the Virtual Transceiver settings, there are no entries to select from in either the Audio Output or Audio Input drop boxes. And I have no idea why.
When I look in Pulse Audio, there is similarly no sign of any Audio.
On the same PI, I can run up SRDConnect and then listen to Audio via either the jack socket or USB via a Headset/Microphone Dongle. 

Thanks

Adrian

As an update to my own post.
Made a step forward.  In the pi-config, changed the audio from Pulse to Pipewire and then rebooted.
I now see option in the audio dropdown for both jack and usb headphone. Tried and both seemed to work.
