RadioFeed Stereo feed with Pi

[N2ZPY]

I have had a feed running for years on an old XP PC. Stereo feed worked great. I am moving the feed scanners to a hillltop location that I now have a wifi link to. I have a PI configured and running but can not get the stereo working properly. Both channels end up blending into on channel.

With this config it blends and I hear both scanners out of one speaker.....

device = plughw:1,0 # hw:0,0 then hw:1,0 then hw:2,0 etc
sampleRate = 22050
bitsPerSample = 16
channel = 2 # 1 for mono, 2 for stereo

[icecast2-0]

bitrateMode = cbr
format = mp3
bitrate = 16
quality = 0.5
channel = 1
lowpass = 4000
sampleRate = 22050


If I change the icecast channel setting to "2" (underlined and Italic) I get the stereo feed but the audio sounds horrible. The best way to describe it is the voices sound "warbly". Any assistance would be awsome.

Thanks!

This is what I use for my stereo feed on my Pi. Hope it helps you if you haven't already figured it out!

Gents, what software do you use on Pi to broadcast?

I use DarkIce for mine.

If you image the SD Card for the pi with the most recent gui OS, Buster, then you can install darksnow. This is a gui for darkice which can simplify the setup. Go to Preferences/Add Software then search for darksnow.
