Thanks for the report!
It doesn't look like you're doing anything wrong. A couple of questions:
No output without aplay either: rtl_fm -M fm -l 0 -A std -p 0 -s 171k -g 40 -F 9 -f 96.5M | redsea This is Raspbian Stretch Desktop running on Raspberry Pi 3+. I'm using the latest version of redsea. I tried the same stations/frequencies on Windows machine with SDR# and I saw the RDS messages there for the same stations. Thanks!
Here is the output: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ rtl_fm -M fm -l 0 -A std -p 0 -s 171k -g 40 -F 9 -f 97.3M | redsea Found 1 device(s): 0: Realtek, RTL2838UHIDIR, SN: 00000001

Buffer size: 5.99ms Exact sample rate is: 1368000.013046 Hz Create UDP thread Created UDP thread Main socket started! :-) Tuning enabled on UDP/6020 Sampling at 1368000 S/s. Output at 171000 Hz.
You could try to change the gain (-g) to -g 20.
If that doesn't help, then I'd be interested in seeing a short (10-second) recording of that raw rtl_fm output.
Hi!
You have set ppm to 0. What dongle do you have? Try to calibrate/measure your ppm if not done earlier.

I tried two different dongles with the same result: https://www.amazon.com/NooElec-NESDR-SMArt-Bundle-R820T2-Based/dp/B01GDN1T4S https://www.amazon.com/RTL-SDR-Blog-RTL2832U-Software-Telescopic/dp/B011HVUEME I'm not sure how to calibrate the dongle. If I remove that parameter the result is the same.
-g 20 doesn't help.
I recorded three test files for different stations this way: rtl_fm -M fm -l 0 -A std -s 171k -g 20 -F 9 -f 106.9M > test-106.9M.raw They can be found here on github: https://github.com/project-owner/Peppy.doc/blob/master/files/test-102.9M.raw https://github.com/project-owner/Peppy.doc/blob/master/files/test-106.9M.raw https://github.com/project-owner/Peppy.doc/blob/master/files/test-97.3M.raw
Please let me know if it works or if I need to use any other way to record those files. Thanks!
Thanks for the files, they work well. I was able to decode them in redsea v0.16 and v0.17.1 on MacOS (I got callsigns KCBS, KLLC, KBLX). To me this looks very similar to the v0.15 bug you linked to earlier. Which version does redsea --version
report?
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ redsea --version redsea 0.17.1 by OH2EIQ
Here is the output using that syntax (no RDS messages): pi@raspberrypi:~ $ { rtl_fm -M fm -l 0 -A std -s 171k -g 20 -F 9 -f 106.9M | redsea -e 2>&1 1>&3 3>&- | jq -c . ; } 3>&1 1>&2 | aplay -r 171000 -f S16_LE Found 1 device(s): 0: Realtek, RTL2838UHIDIR, SN: 00000001

Is this solved now?
I didn't try after that report. Is there any new redsea release which could fix it? I could lend Pi3 + RTL-SDR dongle to anybody who could fix the issue.
There has been a release after this, but it is difficult to say whether it would fix this problem, as the root cause is not known. Perhaps!
Updated OS, recompiled rtl-sdr and installed new version of redsea: redsea 0.18 by OH2EIQ It works now. I can see the RDS Json output. Now I need to find a way to capture that output in my program (maybe using fifo/named pipe ?) Also need a way to redirect audio output to VLC which I control from my program. But that's a different story. Closing the issue.
No output from redsea, I've tried about dozen different stations here in San Francisco Bay Area but no avail. Here is the syntax which I tried: rtl_fm -M fm -l 0 -A std -p 0 -s 171k -g 40 -F 9 -f 96.5M | redsea -e | aplay -r 171000 -f S16_LE rtl_fm -M fm -l 0 -A std -p 0 -s 171k -g 40 -F 9 -f 96.5M | redsea -e -u | aplay -r 171000 -f S16_LE I can hear audio but no output from redsea in terminal. I also tried weird syntax suggested here: https://github.com/windytan/redsea/issues/59 but still no output. Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks in advance!
