Not hearing audio from liquidsoap stream

Hi all,

I'm very new to the space and just getting started. I've appreciated the resources here in the forums but I seem to have a problem that I've been struggling with for the past several hours. I have a RTL-SDR V3 hooked up to my Raspberry Pi 3B+ and have gone through the steps from here to get it all set up. Ultimately I'm trying to be able to listen in to trunked radio signals, so I installed op25, liquidsoap, and icecast2. After tweaking with the parameters and troubleshooting other things all day I've got as far as being able to see the trunked signals come in and even have a stream from the icecast2 going with some information coming from op25. I've been really stumped at how I'm able to see some metadata come in to my media player running on my windows machine on the local network but cannot for the life of me get the audio to actually play! I've tried opening the stream on VLC on my phone as well and still have the same problem. I can't hear anything through the stream at all even when op25 is clearly receiving signals.

This is the command I used most recently

./rx.py --nocrypt --args "rtl=0" -N 'lna:28' -T trunk.tsv -S 1000000 -q 0 -d 0 -v 1 -2 -w -u 23456 -V -X -x 2.5 -M meta.json 2> stderr.2

My ./op25.liq looks like this
Code:
set("log.stdout", true)
set("log.file", true)
set("log.syslog", true)
set("log.level", 3)


# Make the native sample rate compatible with op25
set("frame.audio.samplerate", 8000)

input = mksafe(input.external(buffer=0.25, channels=2, samplerate=8000, restart_on_error=false, "./audio.py -x 2.0 -s"))

...

When I run liquidsoap this is my log:

liquidsoap look like it is starting up properly, running and filling the stream with "safe_blank" until the ctrl-c at 06:19:51.
darkice looks like it is running and receiving connections ok

Are you sure op25 is receiving and forwarding voice traffic? What does the op25 log (stderr.2) look like?

If you have op25 running but liquidsoap stopped, what happens if you manually run ./audio.py from the 'apps' directory? Without additional command line options it should connect to op25's udp output stream and play local audio if there are any calls.

So when I look at my op25 log, I get a ton of "p25_framer::rx_sym() tuning error +/- 2400" messages but if I filter those out, this is what my stderr.2 looks like:

If you have op25 running but liquidsoap stopped, what happens if you manually run ./audio.py from the 'apps' directory? Without additional command line options it should connect to op25's udp output stream and play local audio if there are any calls.

Just running ./audio.py while op25 is running I get

I see multiple problems that are going to need to be resolved before it's going to work properly.

1. It's good that you have "voice update" messages, but it's concerning when you see very short intervals between activity because it suggests either lots of really short conversations or that op25 is not remaining on the voice channel for some reason.
11/15/20 15:07:02.567661 voice update: tg(2451), freq(851712500), slot(-), prio(3)
11/15/20 15:07:04.297667 voice update: tg(2451), freq(851712500), slot(-), prio(3)
11/15/20 15:07:06.368496 voice update: tg(971), freq(851925000), slot(-), prio(3)
11/15/20 15:07:08.724265 voice update: tg(2468), freq(853362500), slot(-), prio(3)
11/15/20 15:07:12.013347 voice update: tg(978), freq(853425000), slot(-), prio(3)
11/15/20 15:07:13.967590 voice update: tg(978), freq(853425000), slot(-), prio(3)

2. The excessive "metadata update" errors can be disregarded until you get liquidsoap working properly. In fact I'd recommend dropping the "-M" command line option until you get op25 sorted out.

3. The "p25_framer::rx_sym() tuning error +/- 2400" errors are a big clue that either the tuning or possibly the modulation type are not well dialed in and that you probably wouldn't get good audio as a result.

4. The "Address already in use" message from audio.py suggests that liquidsoap is still running in another window (or as a service). If so you probably want to stop it while we fix up op25.

Using the terminal, activate a mixer plot (#5) and datascope plot (#4) and post a screenshot of what they look like. So far I've only seen phase 1 (FDMA) traffic in your log fragment so we need to check that you are configured for the correct demodulation scheme.

1. Yeah, I certainly did notice they seem consistently very short and was wondering why that's the case. :unsure:

2. Got it! Okay I've dropped the '-M meta.json' for now.

3/4. So is liquidsoap running when I run the rx.py command? I thought that was only running the op25 module. The reason I ask is while that rx.py command is running I get the same "Address already in use" error but if I just run audio.py without running rx.py I get the same result as above without the socket.error message. I'll investigate this as when I did a ps ax command I didn't see any liquidsoap processes running

It appears that I can't run rx.py and audio.py both simultaneously without one giving me a "socket.error Address already in use" message.

I haven't installed the plot software yet so I'll do that and share results from that. Thanks for your help on this! 🙏

Make sure there isn't a "-U" parameter somewhere on the rx.py command line. It it is present it enables the built-in audio player which will grab the port and prevent the external apps using it.

Got it! Okay with op25 running and without liquidsoap, when I run audio.py (w/ no launch params) I just get this with no further updates:

Code:
$ ./audio.py
using ALSA sound system
audio device: default
Listening on 0.0.0.0:23456

Ok that's actually a good sign!
The mixer plot looks displaced to the right. Do you have a screenshot of the datascope plot?

Ah! I think I see the problem I was offset on the control channel frequency by 2 Khz. Admittedly while I was going based on the reference page but noticed the peak of the activity was 2 Khz off so I fine-tuned it to that... guess that turned out to be a bad move. :cautious:

Does this datascope look better? Not sure what ideally it's supposed to look like...

Alas I'm still not hearing any audio whatsoever still when I try the icecast/liquidsoap stream... so that remains an issue...

These are the params I'm currently using...

./rx.py
--args "rtl" -N 'lna:48' -T trunk.tsv -S 1000000 -q 0 -d 0 -D cqpsk -v 1 -2 -u 23456 -V -X -M meta.json 2> stderr.2

./op25.liq
Code:
#!/usr/bin/liquidsoap

# Example liquidsoap streaming from op25 to icecast
# (c) 2019, 2020 gnorbury@bondcar.com, wllmbecks@gmail.com
#

set("log.stdout", true)
set("log.file", true)
set("log.syslog", true)
set("log.level", 3)


# Make the native sample rate compatible with op25
set("frame.audio.samplerate", 8000)

input = mksafe(input.external(buffer=0.25, channels=2, samplerate=8000, restart_on_error=false, "./audio.py -x 2.0 -s -u 23456"))
# Consider increasing the buffer value on slow systems such as RPi3. e.g. buffer=0.25
# Longer buffer results in less choppy audio but at the expense of increased latency.



# OPTIONAL AUDIO SIGNAL PROCESSING BLOCKS
# Uncomment to enable
#
# High pass filter
#input = filter.iir.butterworth.high(frequency = 200.0, order = 4, input)

# Low pass filter
#input = filter.iir.butterworth.low(frequency = 3250.0, order = 4, input)

# Normalization
#input = normalize(input, gain_max = 3.0, gain_min = -3.0, target = -16.0, threshold = -40.0)



# LOCAL AUDIO OUTPUT
# Uncomment the appropriate line below to enable local sound
#
# Default audio subsystem
#out (input)
#
# PulseAudio
#output.pulseaudio(input)
#
# ALSA
#output.alsa(input)



# ICECAST STREAMING
# Uncomment to enable output to an icecast server
# Change the "host", "password", and "mount" strings appropriately first!
# For metadata to work properly, the host address given here MUST MATCH the address in op25's meta.json file
#
output.icecast(%mp3(bitrate=16, samplerate=22050, stereo=false), description="op25", genre="Public Safety", url="", fallible=false, icy_metadata="false", host="localhost", port=8000, mount="op25", password="xxxxxxxxxx", mean(input))

./rx.py
--args "rtl" -N 'lna:48' -T trunk.tsv -S 1000000 -q 0 -d 0 -D cqpsk -v 1 -2 -u 23456 -V -X -M meta.json 2> stderr.2

Ah right after I posted I realized I took out the "-w" param and need to put that back in.

./rx.py
--args "rtl" -N 'lna:48' -T trunk.tsv -S 1000000 -q 0 -d 0 -D cqpsk -v 1 -2 -w -u 23456 -V -X -M meta.json 2> stderr.2

At last I can hear audio! 🎉 Thanks so much for your help, boatbod! 🙏

Here's my datascope from a simulcast control channel on our state-wide phase 2 system. Transitions should converge at -3, -1, +1 , +3.
Tweak the tuning to move the convergence points up/down. The quality of signal can be inferred by how stable the eyes appear, and how well the lines overlay on each other.
