I know the Pluto can re-encode the stream delivered to it - I also know it is limited to 64K for its audio channels
Some time ago I was sent the information to what file in the Pluto has this maximum audio setting which I would like to edit again
Can somebody tell me the folder and filename inside the Pluto so I can change the max audio rate please?
Thank you

If you want to change the maximum audio rate setting in Pluto, you must first discover the exact file in its system. While I don't have precise information, exploring Pluto's documentation or community forums may reveal clues.Fm Whatsapp DownloadG6MNJ wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 12:38 pmI know the Pluto can re-encode the stream delivered to it - I also know it is limited to 64K for its audio channels

To change the maximum audio bitrate setting on your Pluto SDR, you'll need to access and edit a specific configuration file. The file you are looking for is typically located within the Pluto's file system. Here's how you can find and modify it:
1. **Access the Pluto SDR file system**:
- Connect to your Pluto SDR via SSH or through a network connection.
- You can use an SSH client like PuTTY or any terminal that supports SSH.
2. **Navigate to the configuration file**:
- The file you need to edit is usually located in the `/etc` directory.
- The specific file name is `config.txt` or a similar configuration file related to the audio settings.
3. **Edit the file**:
- Open the file using a text editor such as `vi` or `nano`.
- Look for the setting related to the audio bitrate, which might be labeled something like `audio_max_bitrate`.
- Change the value to your desired bitrate, ensuring it does not exceed the hardware limitations.
For example:
```sh
nano /etc/config.txt
```
In the file, you might find a line like:
```sh
audio_max_bitrate=64000
```
Change it to your preferred value:
```sh
audio_max_bitrate=128000
```
4. **Save and reboot**:
- Save the changes and exit the text editor.
- Reboot the Pluto SDR to apply the changes.
Please note that modifying system files can affect the performance and stability of your device, so proceed with caution and ensure you have a backup of your current settings before making changes.
