TX Echolink audio is choppy , need some help to resolve

Audio from echolink was fine before the last batch of updates 3.4.4 and 3.4.5 , seems as though its clipping I've been changing settings to see if I could resolve it to the extent of a fresh install on a different Pi , allstar audio is fine.

RX audio is fine i.e me transmitting on a HT to my node that is connected to any echolink node, what is heard from me is fine no issues, I can monitor on several external echolink nodes and I concur the audio is fine.
TX audio from any connected echolink node is very poor, like its clipping or missing a packet.
Allstart audio is excellent both ways.
I've changed the Pi3 for a Pi4 and back again, several fresh installs , changed the cm108 but all that has not sorted the issue.
Other than the echolink gain settings what else can I play with to resolve this.

Many thanks Kev

Can you give some details to help narrow this down ?

Are you using a sa818 or
what is the rest of your config Full/Half duplex URI/radio etc

Trying to see if this matches a few other issues that have sprung up.

Hi Mike.
Currently Rpi3 + CM108 (G6OJB style mod) running 3.4.5 Half duplex, the tx/rx is a Baofeng UV-5R Mk5.
I've rotated all of the hardware individually but still the same.

Is this on rx only ? not seen on tx'd audio ?

Its only on the TX'd echolink audio all ok on the Allstar Tx'd audio . Only on echolink audio from the internet being transmitted by my node Baofeng radio.

This is starting to sound like bug.
You are not the first.
You should perhaps seek a bug report.
