FreeDV 2.3.0 has been released, including support for running it directly on a compatible Flex 8000 or Aurora series radio, enhancements to performance (thanks to the removal of Python) as well as improvements to FreeDV Reporter filtering functionality and other bug fixes. It can be downloaded using the following links:
- Windows:
- Intel/AMD PCs (most users)
- Windows on ARM (e.g. machines with Qualcomm chips)
- Linux AppImage (for Intel and AMD PCs)
- Linux AppImage (for ARM systems, e.g. Raspberry Pi 5+)
- Linux AppImage for FlexRadio support (needs Raspberry Pi 4 or newer)
- FlexRadio Docker container for direct upload to Flex 8000 or Aurora series
- macOS
More information about this release can be found on GitHub release page.
Tonight, my 3.2.0 version of FreeDV stopped working when two Windows11 updates became available, the computer rebooted after updates were installed and the audio portion of the program stopped working, while PTT remained in tacked. Has anyone else reported this problem, hopefully it’s not just me….
Thanks
Two things you can check:
1. Is “exclusive mode” disabled for all of the audio devices you’re using with FreeDV? (More info on how to disable: https://support.m-audio.com/en/support/solutions/articles/69000849177-how-to-disable-exclusive-mode-for-my-audio-device-)
2. Are any audio enhancements enabled? Those should be disabled as well. (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/disable-audio-enhancements-0ec686c4-8d79-4588-b7e7-9287dd296f72)
Let me know if you’re still having trouble after confirming these two things and we can further troubleshoot.
