Hi there the problem is that the altitude is only updated once per second via GPS. First of all the GPS altitude isn't that precise compared to the altitude that would be reported by a barometric sensor. The second more severe point though is that an update rate of just one data point per second is simply too slow. You will need at least something like 3 or 4 data points per second (Hz) to get a good usable vario signal so that it would be worth it to convert it to sound.
