Signalink and WSJTX

[Richard Lawn [e-mail] [linuxham]]

I'm trying to get my Signalink interface to work under Ubuntu running WSJTX
and can't get any audio into the software. I've set everything to use the
USB Analog CODEC but Joe's software doesn't seem to like it. Anyone found a
work around?

Are you using pulse for audio ?

Have you read this ?

interesting...
on that entire page (which was last edited 2013-03-07 21:36:50)

I only saw 3 links that might help you Rick:

<quote>
Generic sound troubleshooting (last edited 2012-12-10 16:22:27)
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

USB Sound Modem How-To (last edited 2011-05-07 15:47:55)
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHams/USBSoundModem
(mostly about ax25 which has nothing to do with WSJTX on Ubuntu)

and the Tigertronics link
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SignaLink
which says:
"This page does not exist yet. You can create a new empty page, or use
one of the page templates."

so Rick I'd venture to say the only possible help found on that
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHams link that might help is the Generic
sound troubleshooting link which is almost 2 year old.

read that link for possible help and then when/if you still are lost,
ask again and hopefully someone will be able to help you better next time.

ah so, the last link on the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHams page,
I missed it when I stopped short at the Configuration & Troubleshooting
section, where the Generic Sound Card link was.

Good catch Ed, it's a shame we can't all be as good as you are ;-/

Thanks Dan, I feared the age of this 'fix' could cause confusion and be
obsolete, so I didn't post it since it speaks of Ubuntu 12 as well as
pre version WSJTX 1.2 We're now up to Ubuntu 14 and in 5 days V1.4 of WSJTX

more recent info on this

Version 1.2 of wsjtx will use QtAudio, which does support samplerate
conversion, so the .asoundrc file will not be needed.

I have no interest in this at all, but............

for TX I selected ..

11 2 ALSA SignaLink-USB

I did need to reboot.

All I wanted to do was try and help someone that was asking for help.

Thanks, I think, for the multiple responses to my query. The web page that
seemed to provide the info I need (buntu.com/UbuntuHams/USBSoundModem) is
unfortunately far beyond my capabilities as a newcomer to Linux-Ubuntu.
I've been able to get a number of things working including FlDigi, which
works fine with the USB Tigertronics SignaLink. I'll of course read through
the Wiki page again, but I'm not optimistic that I'll understand it
sufficiently to do what is necessary to get SignLink to work with WSJT.

Thanks

It has been quite a while since I’ve setup WSJT-X on Linux, but I remember that it wasn’t that difficult when using Pulse (it was a lot more difficult before Pulse audio).

I opened PAVUCONTROL (do you have that installed?) so I could see the Pulse Audio controls. Then I started WSJTX and it would appear in the Pavucontrol application. I did have to experiment with the precise audio selection in WSJTX, but it was all some form of Pulse audio support over the USB Audio Codec (may have had a different name; can’t recall for certain).

Again, it has been a while, and I’m doing this from memory, but it definitely can be done.

ok, still works when I upgraded to 14. Have not tried wsjtx1.4.
I'll go sit in the corner and keep my trap shut. LOL

[Dan Ziolkowski [e-mail] [linuxham]]

do not lose hope!

you will get there, one step at a time.

just ask what you don't understand
