I am running a ham radio ap called “ardopc” on my Pinebook Pro. The application implements the ARDOP digital mode of radio communications and uses ALSA to interface with the USB “soundcard” in my IC-7100 ham radio transceiver. However, ardopc needs a capture (playback) audio level control in order to set optimum levels, which I implemented as a soft control in ALSA and accessed with alsamixer.
When I launch ardopc, I get the following seg fault, but only when I’ve implemented the soft level control in my .asoundrc file. If only the plug to hw:1,0 is implemented, it functions as expected (but no level control).
The exact same hardware and ALSA configuration works in Armbian (but I wish to use Manjaro) and it also works on MX-Linux on my amd64 architecture laptop.
I have not yet found the cause of this previous Manjaro ALSA problem either. Like the .asoundrc soft control seg fault, it is unique to Manjaro in my experience (works as expected with the previously mentioned system and also Mobian on my Pinphone): Runtime error: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'libaudiostream::AudioException'
I guess I’ll try to find someone on the ALSA forum, if no one here has any suggestions (roll back some ALSA packages, maybe?). I’d sure appreciate some help though!
