Help setting up Digirig, WSJT-X and Xiegu X5105 with Raspberry pi

I have a Xiegu X5105, Digirig Mobile and Raspberry PI 4. I am attempting to configure with WSJT-X. I am communicating with the transceiver and hearing signals, however the waterfall does not show any signals. I am not to familiar with the sound settings on linux (raspberry). Can anyone offer any suggestions?

As a starting point I would recommend setting up on Windows computer to iron out any transceiver settings and confirm all the hardware working together. Troubleshooting is hard when you deal with multiple areas at the same time.

I just finished a post on how to setup SVXLinux on raspberry pi. I’m thinking that you may be needing to disable the audio devices that you’re not using so that WSJT-X has no choice but choose the correct audio device.

What I feel could be relevant part:

Configure DigiRig

We want to configure DigiRig to show up as /dev/hidraw0 and have correct permission 666 so that the server as the raspberry pi starts up and gets ready to run the service the hidraw device is in the correct state.

Create a file in /etc/udev/rules.d I made mine 98-digirig.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="C-Media Electronics Inc.", ATTRS{product}=="USB Audio 

Disable Raspberry Pi Audio

Edit /boot/firmware/config.txt

Add # in front of line reading dtparam=audio=on

Update “dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d” to “dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,noaudio” to disable HDMI audio.
