I think I figured out what is going on: The audio block DOES NOT BLOCK no matter what the value of the "OK to block" setting is. The reason that the 440 Hz tone was heard perfectly was that although samples were dropped by the audio device, the remaining samples where enough to reconstruct a nice

Hi Geof, apologies if the email was not clear: I guess for me getting some sound was not considered good enough :-) The audio sink IS BLOCKING (OK to block is indeed set to YES) and as I mentioned in the last email, a nice 440Hz tone generated by a signal source is PERFECTLY audible. As I menti

OK, so you are getting *some* sound. Your first email seemed to indicate nothing at all was happening. In that case, please add a throttle block to your flowgraph, set to the audio sample rate you desire. The audio sink is being overwhelmed with data from the file source and is not blocking. Whe

I also would like to report that a nice 440KHz cosine can be heard perfectly OK with the default audio sink. So now I have my doubts about the wav file source block instead of the audio sink block Any ideas? thanks Achilleas On Mon, Nov 7, 2016 at 10:20 AM, Achilleas Anastasopoulos wrote:

Hi Geof, thank you for your suggestions. Here is some more information from my Windows 7 running gnuradio binaries 3.7.10.1 1) When I use a simple wav file source with audio sink and without setting the "Device Name" entry I get the following output: INFO: Audio sink arch: windows gr::pagesize

The audio device in the windows audio sink can be used one of two ways, First is to use a number which is the device ID of the audio device, the second is to enter a string representing the device's name. Realize, however, that there is no way to interactively iterate through the list of availabl

Thanks Geof, How exactly can I do what you are suggesting in GRC? The only available controls on the audio sink is the bit rate and an entry called "audio device". What exactly should I enter in this entry? thanks again, Achilleas On Sat, Nov 5, 2016 at 4:05 PM, Geof Nieboer wrote: > Achilleas

Achilleas, There are several others who had had success, so there must be something unique in your setup . Do you have more then one audio device installed? If you do perhaps it is being routed to the wrong audio device. The default is the windows wave mapper which normally should send it to you

Hi Achilleas, it's nice to be hearing from you :) So, I know of at least one other person trying [1] to get audio under Windows to work correctly. At least, he got /choppy/ sound. I know this isn't great help, but maybe it gives any of you a place to start :( Best regards, Marcus [1] http://s
