We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. The pulseaudio server For my pulseaudio "connection refused" issue the following helped: This way the pulseaudio userspace configuration is reset (without destroying the old). It is possible to use elad-gqrx with FDM DUO, with the limit that the samplerate is not programmable, and that the command of frequency is one-way from gqrx (the tune settings in I am running gqrx through a SSH tunnel like this: ssh -Y -C 192. GQRX seems to depend on Pulseaudio, but pulseaudio doesn't work correctly with bluetooth - it makes the connection but fails to route the audio through to the device. check everything installed sudo apt install libpulse-dev pulseaudio apulse check its started systemctl --user restart pulseaudio check you have openJDK if you are using the Oracle one. > I installed gqrx on my laptop, and seem to run into the same issue when > trying to start gqrx > I have a Realtek GQRX seems to depend on Pulseaudio, but pulseaudio doesn't work correctly with bluetooth - it makes the connection but fails to route the audio through to the device.

The GQRX GUI also allows for the adjustment of the sound output. with further investigation I narrowed down to these Apparently, you need to compile a version of gqrx with ALSA support. 3 For my pulseaudio "connection refused" issue the following helped: mv -v ~/. To select audio backend add -DLINUX_AUDIO_BACKEND=Portaudio or -DLINUX_AUDIO_BACKEND=Gr When the script is run on Lubuntu, GQRX compiles and installs but will not launch. If you are using RigPi hardware, then without a local display, there is no way for GQRX to function, nor for PulseAudio to work—it may be possible to use a virtual display to allow Sound is not shown as muted when using GQRX. config/pulseaudio{,~} This way the pulseaudio userspace configuration is reset (without destroying GQRX seems to depend on Pulseaudio, but pulseaudio doesn't work correctly with bluetooth - it makes the connection but fails to route the audio through to the device. 1.
