STM32F407 - CMSIS DSP - IFFT not working with audio input/output

I'm currently using the stm32f407g-disc1 and reading an audio input through PMOD I2S2. I've carried out some examples and the hardware is working fine (writing data from the rx to the tx buffer) such as the code below.
 
```
for (int i=0; i<BUFFER_LENGTH*4; i=i+4) {
txBuf[i] = rxBuf[i];
txBuf[i+1] = rxBuf[i+1];
txBuf[i+2] = 0;
txBuf[i+3] = 0;
}
```
 
I now wish to perform the FFT on this incoming buffer, manipulate it (my first aim is to implement a pitch shifting algorithm) and perform the IFFT again. Thus I've tried the following:
 
```
for (int i=0; i<BUFFER_LENGTH*4; i=i+4) {
fft_in_buf[fft_in_ptr] = (float) ((int) (rxBuf[i]<<16)|rxBuf[i+1]);
fft_in_ptr++;
}
 
arm_rfft_fast_f32(&fft_handler, fft_in_buf, fft_out_buf, 0);
arm_rfft_fast_f32(&fft_handler, fft_out_buf, fft_in_buf, 1);
 
fft_in_ptr = 0;
 
for (int i=0; i<BUFFER_LENGTH*4; i=i+4) {
        txBuf[i] = (fft_in_buf[fft_in_ptr] >> 16) & 0xFF; // MSB
        txBuf[i + 1] = fft_in_buf[fft_in_ptr] & 0xFF;     // LSB
        txBuf[i + 2] = 0;
        txBuf[i + 3] = 0;
 
        fft_in_ptr++;
}
```
 
In the main initialization I'm also carrying out `arm_rfft_fast_init_f32(&fft_handler, BUFFER_LENGTH);`
 
 
My issue is that I get a very very low output (barely audible) with the above code. I might have a scaling issue as I found in similar issues but I still can't get it to work by scaling fft_in_buf[fft_in_ptr].

Hi, thank you for pointing me in the right direction. My issue was in fact with converting back the tx buffer.

 

for (int i=0; i<BUFFER_LENGTH*4; i=i+4) {
        txBuf[i] = (fft_in_buf[fft_in_ptr] >> 16) & 0xFFFF; // MSB
        txBuf[i + 1] = fft_in_buf[fft_in_ptr] & 0xFFFF;     // LSB
        txBuf[i + 2] = 0;
        txBuf[i + 3] = 0;

        fft_in_ptr++;
}

You use a float fft , so scaling is not the problem, i suppose. (float giving about 1500 dB dynamic range)

What comes out, if you just comment out the two // arm_rfft_fast_f32()  lines ?

Thanks for coming back with the solution.
