[App_rpt-users] USB fob choppy/stuttering audio

[Rob Noll]

Unfortunately, I don’t have one.  I’d rather not start sinking money into replacing things without knowing the root cause.

I don’t know if this fits your situation, but the only time I’ve had choppy audio is when something in asterisk or Linux is unhappy; most likely asterisk. I’d check your USB related settings (usbradio or simpleusb).

Thanks,

Good morning all,

 

I’m trying to set up an AllStar node using a USB fob based on the CM119 chip.  I’m having issues with choppy/stuttering audio, particularly on telemetry.  It’s bad enough that it renders the CW ID meaningless.

My original thought was lack of CPU power, but I have tried it on a Raspberry Pi 2, Pi 3, and several virtual machines on a quad-core PC with identical results.  Also, the choppiness is NOT as bad when using the full USB driver instead of SimpleUSB, which I believe conclusively rules out CPU power.

I’ve also tried a powered USB hub, thinking that the USB device was not receiving enough power, with no improvement.

I’ve used the Android mobile app to connect to the node, and the telemetry does not seem to be choppy when listening to it over the app.  While I need to do some more testing to say this conclusively, I do believe at this point that my issue is narrowed down to the USB fob itself and/or the specific audio stream being sent to the device.

I’m currently searching for a way to alter the sample rate that ASL is sending the audio to the device in.

Has anyone experienced this, and does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks and 73,

 

Rob, WX1N
