Re: FM Radio Reception Issue on VMWare

Hi James,

From your screenshot, it looks like your audio is underrunning. Here is the link you can find more details :

Also i made flow graph for FM radio for my earlier projects. You can find those flowgraphs here:

Hope this helps.

Hello all, I am unsure if this is an issue with my flowgraph or something specific to my VMWare machine. I am running Windows 10 along with a Virtual Machine running Ubuntu 20.04 and GNU Radio 3.8.2.0 (Python 3.8.5). I am using the Pluto SDR.

On my Windows machine, I have GNU Radio 3.17.13.4

I created similar flow graphs on both platforms and only encounter playback (choppy) issues when running on my VM Machine.

My Linux flowgraph is a little nicer with QT GUI's and shown below:

My Windows machine doesn't have any GUI's, but the same flow control.

See below:

Why am I getting a choppy audio output on my VM Machine?

Btw, I ran "aplay -l" to determine the Linux Audio output would be "plughw:0,1", but even leaving this blank I still get choppy audio.

Any ideas?
