Hacker gadgets SDR no sound

uConsole

I give up. I’ve finally gotten SDR ++ to show a waveform but no sound. I followed the instructions for the uConsole AIO V1/V2 Extension board setup. Have installed and uninstalled SDR++ and SDR++ Brown multiple times switching between the two but I can’t get any sound. I can play YouTube sound just fine though, so it’s definitely an SDR++ problem. When I run it from the terminal I see an error “couldn’t load librtaudio.so.6”. Tried install and uninstalling librtaudio multiple times too. Any suggestions?

I had this issue. Here is a copy of my notes that got it working for me. Hope it helps.

  • Install sdrpp-brown.
    SDR++ Brown appears in the Accessories Menu.

  • When SDR++ Brown is first run, open the ‘Source’ section then select RTL-SDR from the drop down.

  • Scroll down on the left to the ‘Module Manager’ section.
    At the bottom of the section is a text box, enter ‘PulseAudio’ into the box then in the drop down to the right, select ‘linux_pulseaudio_sink’ then click the ‘+’ to the right to add it to the Modules list.

  • Scroll up to the ‘Sinks’ section.
    Under ‘Radio’, from the drop down, select ‘PulseAudio’.

  • Click the Play icon, top left of the main window, to start the radio stream.

Try cubic sdr that will determine if its hardware (though I highly doubt it as you see waves) and have you checked the volume in the top left.
