Two months ago I tried IAX_rpt with my asterisk setup and
found that the on-the-air transmit level was way too low, no matter what I did
at the GUI client end (Windows XP). A friend of mine tried it on his
computer and got the same result. (The current version 1.1.27).
The bar graph for the microphone level seems way too high
for the audio input, compared with other programs. The output bar graph seems to
track the repeater’s audio, but the sound level being produced is low (again,
compared with other programs). It’s as if there is some fundamental
scaling error in the audio processing in IAX_rtp. I am wondering if other
people are seeing this. Or saw it and fixed it.
Posting something here resulted in a suggestion to post my
observation at the Xeletec web site – which I did – but after 8
weeks - no answer from anyone over there. In fact, no one is posting
anything new over there at all.
It’s a nice tool but, in my experience, it’s
unusable due to bad audio levels.
with no ill effect… i did use the netbook audio mgr to reset my mic levels to taste though, and i have used a USB headset too with no problems.
and i agree about the Xeletec web site, have not seen much activity over there either.
i also know if you go in to the IAX application settings and set your audio device to the device your hardware is using helps in getting the right settings too. i belive IAX uses “default” settings on start up.
although most of the time i end up on my IP phone instead of tying up the pc with IAX traffic.
But it is great in office or hotel settings where you want to check in without a radio.
