I've been struggling to send live audio from a huzzah32 with a ICS43434 over wifi using udp (not surprisingly as I'm a relative noob to esp32 and Arduino!). While audio can be obtained at the server end ( just at the moment capturing with netcat and playing with audacity) there is distortion and the audio appears to have been speeded up.
My code is as follows:

I think the issue may be the timing of the i2s_pop_sample but I'm only guessing, if there is anyone out there how could point me in the correct direction, that would be gratefully appreciated, if it can be done at all.

many thanks

Hi, spartan. I've faced similar issue, and solved it by reducing sampling rate to 8 kHz, and it works perfectly. I haven't tried to make it work at higher rates (it's possible, though, as per the datasheet), but from my experience with another I2S driver (for H3 processor), it's a matter of choosing the right system clock. Maybe there is some I2S master clock that only works correctly at 8 kHz rate. You'll have to dig deeper

@tao_spartan

I also have the same setup, no surprise in there:

Code: Select all

#include <M5StickC.h>

uint8_t BUFFER[READ_LEN] = {0};

uint16_t sound_wav[1024];
int bytesPacked = 0;
int16_t *adcBuffer = NULL;

//AsyncUDP udp;
WiFiUDP udp;

const char * ssid = "Unknown";
const char * password = "daredevilme";

void i2sInit()
{
   i2s_config_t i2s_config = {
    .mode = (i2s_mode_t)(I2S_MODE_MASTER | I2S_MODE_RX | I2S_MODE_PDM),
    .sample_rate =  44100,
    .bits_per_sample = I2S_BITS_PER_SAMPLE_16BIT, // is fixed at 12bit, stereo, MSB
    .channel_format = I2S_CHANNEL_FMT_ALL_RIGHT,

    udp.beginPacket("x.x.x.x", 3005);

      udp.write(sound_wav[n2]);
      //Serial.println(sound_wav[n2]);
    }
    memset(sound_wav, 0, 1024);
    udp.endPacket();
    //vTaskDelay(15000 / portTICK_RATE_MS);
  }
}

void loop() {
  //printf("loop cycling\n");
  //vTaskDelay(10000 / portTICK_RATE_MS); // otherwise the main task wastes half of the cpu cycles
}

My audio is received by a python script:

Code: Select all

import pyaudio
import socket
import wave

UDP_IP = "x.x.x.x"
UDP_PORT = 3005
WAVE_OUTPUT_FILENAME = "output.wav"
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.bind((UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))

# p = pyaudio.PyAudio()

# stream = p.open(format=32, channels=1, rate=11111, input=True)

frames = []

try:
    while True:
        data, addr = sock.recvfrom(1024) # buffer de 1024 bytes
        print(addr)
        print(len(data))
        for i in range(0,len(data)):
            print(data[i])
            frames.append(data[i])
        
        # stream.write(data)
        
except KeyboardInterrupt:  
    print("Cerrando...")
    wf = wave.open(WAVE_OUTPUT_FILENAME, 'wb')
    wf.setnchannels(1)
    wf.setsampwidth(1)
    wf.setframerate(44100)
    wf.writeframes(b''.join(frames))
    wf.close()
    # stream.stop_stream()
    # stream.close()
    # p.terminate()

I am sampling at 16000, but I noticed that the UDP packet only writes 8 bit numbers and what we send is longer, my gut tells me it is cutting the number and losing precision, also the sample width in the python maybe is 2 instead of 1 byte,
