Hello Andreas, you never need a throttle block when you have hardware that limits/defines your real-world sampling rate; in your case, it's your RF hardware and your sound card. Aside from things like implicit resampling in the audio card driver infrastructure, it's absolutely possible that your bananapi is simply not performant enough to do GUI, signal processing and audio playback at once. The question is: Does the same application work sufficiently well on a fast PC? Do you see any over- or underrun warnings on your console?
