Went into Device Manager and uninstalled the Microphone. Rebooted and back in to Device Manager and Scan for hardware changes. Windows found the Microphone and reinstalled the driver. No changes in Thetis. Still no audio input showing in the level meter. Microphone tests fine in System/Sound/Microph...

Hadn't thought about doing that since it worked with PowerSDR and my 5000A.
At this point, I am open to trying almost anything. That or giving in and putting the backup pc back in line.
I'll give it a try.

Scott, here's the results of the Cleanup tool: No component store corruption detected. The operation completed successfully. As noted in another thread, I have been experimenting with Goyo and Light Host. I also tried another hosting program and a VST plug-in called SSB Cleanup that a ham in the Fle...

Thanks Scott. I did do sfc /scannow and it did find and fix a couple of corrupt files. I did that after nuking Thetis. But, I didn't do the other part of your suggestion. I will give that a try and see what happens.

I apologize if this is posted in the wrong forum. Recently, for no apparent reason, I no longer have microphone audio from my USB microphone in Thetis. One day it's working fine the next day it's not. I checked all my settings in the Audio tab, and nothing has changed. I have photographed all the di...

I followed the instructions on a couple of videos on setting up Voicemeeter Banana and the Goyo plug-in. I had to also install a host program for the plug-in. I tried every setting I could and still could not get it to pass the audio ( DAX audio in SmartSDR for the Flex radios) from my radio to VMB....

Goyo is a VST plug-in. That is a digital audio industry standard. VST plug-ins have to be hosted by some sort of digital audio workstation software. Reaper , for example. There is a relatively lightweight way of doing this with Voicemeeter. If you Google "voicemeeter potato vst plugins" y...

Another problem with RM Noise is that it requires an active internet connection because the AI analysis and training appears to be done on a remote server. That's a non-starter for me. Coincidentally, I just tried an interesting VST plugin for my DAW, which can be found here: https://goyo.app/ With...

Steve Wilson posted about his cooling problem and how he solved it on the Apache Labs Facebook page. He said he added a 120mm fan to the bottom cover, similar to the 8000DLE cooling fan. He stated that his radio is running 15 degrees cooler.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I have a V1 controller that came with my 8000DLE. It's nice,but,you are correct, the PiHPSDR interface isn't as nice as Thetis. I tested it with my 8000DLE and it worked. But, I didn't find it as easy to use as Thetis or the Maestro I had with the Flex 6500 I had. ( traded i...

Scott, I have been trying to find a post I thought I remembered reading from Laurance saying that this particular version of the G2, that it would have the Andromeda GUI instead of the current PiHPSDR interface. Maybe, it's just my imagination ( that does happen sometimes) . I did look at the image ...

In the G2 Saturn manual there are three photos of three different G2 radios. One with the front panel running PiHPSDR. Another without the front panel and finally, one with the Andromeda front panel. The information for the one with the Andromeda front panel mentioned that it was a future product. B...

Jim,
Was the loose ground wire inside the radio or the microphone connector?

So far, after running all day today, not a single rumble. I can set the AGC as high as it will go. And no rumbling in the audio at all. I didn't have the problem until recently. I suspected many things. But, Scott's line of questions pointed me in the right direction. In my case, using VAC for audio...

Trucker, The rumbling originates somewhere in software, it isn't caused by the speakers or jacks. The rumble is only present when first pulling up a Thetis session. As soon as I click on any active QSO the rumble disappears and never returns. Mark Ok, this is probably above my pay grade. Hopefully,...

Mark, if I understand correctly, the rumbling you hear has always been present, correct? One of the things that Scott suggested to me was to listen to my audio connected to the headphones connection on my radio. I used the front panel connection. I could not hear any rumbling at any AGC setting. You...

Scott, it's been purring like a kitten all evening. I can run the AGC all the way up and still no rumbling. It's amazing how a couple of settings like that can cause so much havoc.
Thanks again for your help.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I am using Windows 11 PRO. It took a while, but I had to look under Settings/System/Sound. Then in the Advanced section, All Sound Devices/Properties, there is a section for Audio Enhancements and Spatial Sound. I turned both of those off and, so far, no rumblin...

Scott, I tried headphones as you asked. With the same settings as you originally asked me to try. The rumbling isn't present until I click on NR2. It's either not present with standard NR, or because of my hearing, I cannot hear it at all. I have not attempted to change any of the default NR2 settin...

Trucker, That rumbling is normal, I hear it on my setup all the time. If you click on any active QSO in your panadapter the rumbling will disappear and will stay gone after that. Mark Mark, At least you have proven I am not losing my mind and hearing things! There was a time when I did not hear the...

Sorry about that. It " should " work now.

Scott,
Here's a link to a short video using the settings you asked for. I hope this works. I have never used OBS Studio before.
https://youtu.be/WK7VpA-2c4A

I have changed computers, network cables, coax and even a different power supply in an attempt to isolate the source of the rumbling I hear with my 8000DLE. If I increase the AGC very much past 45 it becomes apparent. And the only way to suppress it, is to engage the SNB. That works very well. But, ...

Laurance, thanks for the information on remote operation. I would offer to help but, currently I don't own a G2. And what little coding skills I have are using C# for Windows applications. ( mostly for my Flex 6600M ) I am a want to be programmer. Mostly to keep my 72 year old brain cells going! Tha...

John, to your second question, it depends on developers ( volunteers not paid) taking an interest in creating a thin client application to make remote operation possible. It depends on the firmware in the radio and probably an application running on the Pi CM4 module to process data similar to what ...

Great news Richard. Glad you got it solved. Now, you can have some fun!

Ok, I have had problems using BNC to 239 jumpers before. That is why I mentioned it. I hope you are able to get the problem figured out.
James
WD5GWY

Do you have another BNC to 239 adapter that you can try? Maybe, just moving the existing cable a bit would let you know if it is intermittent.
Just a thought that occurred to me.
James
WD5GWY

Maybe an adapter like this one.

Here's what the & symbol does.


If a command is terminated by the control operator &, the shell executes the command in the background in a subshell. The shell does not wait for the command to finish, and the return status is 0.

Then I added to the end of the app’s path “-m xlr &” and clicked save

Is " -m xlr &" a typo?
The command in the manual doesn't include "&" in the line you would use to add the balanced input to p2app so that Thetis will use the balanced input.
