I can get excellent audio from DMR radio to ASL radio, but not from ASL to DMR.
I am trying install an Allstar to DMR Bridge on a SHARI Pi Hat RPI4B running ASL 2.0 beta with a DV3000 (Thumb DV) hardware vocoder. I Originally setup with AMBE software decoder but enabled ThumbDV on the off chance it may fix the issue. I have a public node and now a private node on the same RPI.  I ran through the setup instructions several times now and I have searched the Threads and tried a few things but so far, no luck.

Things I have checked:
Public Node ASL Audio out is good to other ASL nodes/radios
Ensured only one instance of MMDVM_Bridge is running

Nothing else using UDP  31103

I have played around bringing in Asl to digital networks. The only time you will get nice audio is when you connect directly to your hub via DVSM.  Or a hub running similar setup. 

I have my own digital network, users will not tolerate an Asl connection.

It seems to be nodes with cheap radios that seem to introduce all the noise.

I would like to find out where the problem lies.

Without hearing it with my own earball... no clue.

But I will say that what may sound perfectly fine on analog circuits, may be totally faulty when converted to digital.

I would mention my own experience of a minor hum in my analog repeater generated by the vco in a tx exciter.

I could hardly notice it on the analog side, and only when you were near the repeater but it made things very bad on DMR.

Perhaps my story will help you hone in on a better clue.

I can get excellent audio from DMR radio to ASL radio, but not from ASL to DMR.
I am trying install an Allstar to DMR Bridge on a SHARI Pi Hat RPI4B running ASL 2.0 beta with a DV3000 (Thumb DV) hardware vocoder. I Originally setup with AMBE software decoder but enabled ThumbDV on the off chance it may fix the issue. I have a public node and now a private node on the same RPI.  I ran through the setup instructions several times now and I have searched the Threads and tried a few things but so far, no luck.

It could be. There are several Asl to digital networks in the UK. All sound the same. Most of the time an Asl link will sound as if someone transmitting is a bit to far away from a repeater or gateway. Lots of hiss etc.

The usual problem is audio levels. Over driving the analog to digital link.

I have played around bringing in Asl to digital networks. The only time you will get nice audio is when you connect directly to your hub via DVSM.  Or a hub running similar setup. 

I have my own digital network, users will not tolerate an Asl connection.

It seems to be nodes with cheap radios that seem to introduce all the noise.

I would like to find out where the problem lies.

Without hearing it with my own earball... no clue.

But I will say that what may sound perfectly fine on analog circuits, may be totally faulty when converted to digital.

I would mention my own experience of a minor hum in my analog repeater generated by the vco in a tx exciter.

I could hardly notice it on the analog side, and only when you were near the repeater but it made things very bad on DMR.

Perhaps my story will help you hone in on a better clue.

I can get excellent audio from DMR radio to ASL radio, but not from ASL to DMR.
I am trying install an Allstar to DMR Bridge on a SHARI Pi Hat RPI4B running ASL 2.0 beta with a DV3000 (Thumb DV) hardware vocoder. I Originally setup with AMBE software decoder but enabled ThumbDV on the off chance it may fix the issue. I have a public node and now a private node on the same RPI.  I ran through the setup instructions several times now and I have searched the Threads and tried a few things but so far, no luck.

If I stop MB and then run it in the foreground I get the following and it seems to work well in both directions.

Hello Steve

I am able to clean up the audio. But its the quality of the audio from Asl.
Connected via IAX2 to the node. I do not get good audio. I have heard people say that they get great audio. Most nodes sound faint. Some are distorted. Where if I connect my nodes together and talk on the asl side audio is great.
It is maybe the nodes that I am connecting to.
Point me to an Asl node  that has good audio.

After checking from the radio. If I get no audio from ASL to DMR, then I look at Supermon and Digital Voice dashboards.  If I do not see anything being passed, then I SSH in and check using systemctl status for Asterisk, AB, and MB  or Shore to Shore as you put it.  The issue is always with MB, so I stop it then run it in the foreground.  That's when it starts working again.  After reading through the threads, I started trying to see if there were 2 instances of MB running, or if something else was already connected to port 31103 before I stop MB.

It is very puzzling,   I do not reboot often and I know how to make it work now, so it is just an annoyance. My obsession with with wanting everything to work the way it is intended, will probably keep me a little frustrated until I figure it out.

Thanks for all you do.
