[App_rpt-users] iaxrpt gain?

[Ken]

sorry if this is the wrong place for this question, but I would expect 
it to be related to rpt.conf so I though I would ask here.

I am trying IAXrpt for the first time and the volume coming in from the 
PC is way too low, even with the mic gain turned up to where the green 
'led' bar lights up full scale.  Another user connecting from outside 
experienced the same thing. We are both using version 1.1.27 of the 
program.

I note that there are adjustments for IRLP and echoLink.  Is IAXrpt 
supposed to look exactly like another asterisk node and therefore not 
need an explicit gain control? If so, why is the level so low when 
linked IAX nodes sound OK?

on the same subject: is rxgain, in this usage, taken to refer to what 
Asterisk is receiving from the internet? Or what the internet is 
getting while using Asterisk as its receiver?  Both seem like plausible 
meanings to me.


Thanks
