@Bevan i asked about the SNR on the groups.io channel but the reply seemed like a lot of waffle to me

at the snr margins i got decodes at the standard x2 on 2.2.0 that i didn't get on 2.3.1

For now, I'll wait with the update to 2.3.1.

I found the issue report https://github.com/js8call/js8call/issues/26 which is probably yours? Could you also create an issue about the worse SNR? I could imagine this being caused by wrong/suboptimal audio settings, so it could be related to the already reported issue, but who knows...

@Bevan just been testing with my icom 7410 (Burr-Brown built in card) running both side by side, seeing consistent 4 to 5 dB worse snr with 2.3.1.

@Bevan yup installed, guess i'll have to make a github issue.

Bevan commented on 2025-07-07 17:36 (UTC)

Hm, that's not good... One idea: The new version of js8call now uses Qt6. Do you have qt6-multimedia installed? Although I would expect the AppImage to come with all required libraries...

@Bevan modified the PKGBUILD and also tried the Appimage.

easyeffects input isn't even consistent, now isn't showing up for me.

@deadite66: How did you test the new version? Using the AppImage from github or with a custom build?

I tried both and indeed the number of options in the audio source/sink dropdown has decreased by a lot. But on my system it now corresponds to the list of audio sources and sinks I actually have on my system, so this looks like an improvement to me. I don't have an "easy effects source" entry although I do have easyeffects installed.

I will update the package here soon unless there are any blockers. If you like, you may test my current draft PKGBUILD for the new version and report if the audio selection works for you: https://pastebin.com/iautScKb

i tried the new 2.3.1 update and it a step back in linux compatibility for me.

i use multiple SDRs and audio sinks to route audio, all gone in 2.3. now its just 'easy effects source' shows up in the input audio drop down box which i then have to change in pavucontrol.

Thanks Bevan, that worked!

Bevan commented on 2025-05-10 20:49 (UTC)

Thanks jdunn for the notice. I just pushed an update which fixes the build. I did not increase pkgver or pkgrel as there should be no change in the resulting package. Could you please give it another try?
