Audio quality improvements:
- Enable constrained VBR to prevent bitrate starvation at low volumes
- Increase Opus complexity from 2 to 5 for better quality
- Enable DTX for bandwidth optimization
- Enable FEC (Forward Error Correction)
- Add DTX and FEC signaling in SDP (usedtx=1;useinbandfec=1)
Default configuration changes:
- Change default audio output source from HDMI to USB
- Enable USB Audio device by default
- USB audio works on current stable image (HDMI requires newer device tree)
These changes fix crackling issues at low volumes and provide better
overall audio quality for both USB and HDMI audio paths.
Remove dynamic gain code and rely on Opus encoder quality improvements:
- Increase Opus complexity from 2 to 5 for better quality
- Change bandwidth from FULLBAND (20kHz) to SUPERWIDEBAND (16kHz) for better quality at 128kbps
- Disable FEC to allocate all bits to audio quality
- Increase ALSA buffer from 40ms to 80ms for stability
The dynamic gain code was adding complexity without solving the underlying
issue: TC358743 HDMI chip captures digital audio at whatever volume the
source outputs. Users should adjust volume at the source or in their browser.
Add noise gate threshold at peak > 256 (-42dB) to prevent dynamic gain
from amplifying quantization noise and hardware noise floor. This fixes
crackling, buzzing, and static-like noise when HDMI audio is at very
low volume or during silence.
Without the gate, signals below -42dB (peak < 256) would get 8x gain
applied, amplifying noise floor to audible levels. Now these signals
pass through unmodified, eliminating the artifacts.
- Check SetReadDeadline error in IPC client
- Explicitly ignore Kill() error (process may be dead)
- Remove init() function and rely on explicit ExtractEmbeddedBinaries() call

Implement SIMD-optimized audio operations using ARM NEON for Cortex-A7 targets
Update Makefile and CI configuration to support NEON compilation flags
Add SIMD implementations for common audio operations including:
- Sample clearing and interleaving
- Volume scaling and format conversion
- Channel manipulation and balance adjustment
- Endianness swapping and prefetching
- Added check to not attempt auto update if time sync is needed and not yet successful (delays 30 second to recheck).
- Added resync of time when DHCP or link state changes if online
- Added conditional* fallback from configured* NTP servers to the IP-named NTP servers, and then to the DNS named ones if that fails
- Added conditional* fallback from the configured* HTTP servers to the default DNS named ones.
- Uses the configuration* option for how many queries to run in parallel
- Added known static IPs for time servers (in case DNS resolution isn't up yet)
- Added time.cloudflare.com to fall-back NTP servers
- Added fallback to NTP via hostnames
- Logs the resultant time (and mode)
