[App_rpt-users] Cell Phone audio to loud on IAX connection

[mike at midnighteng.com]

Larry,
I can only say I am sorry I did not notice that you did say the input method.
I just missed it.

So you need to isolate that iax incoming and apply that volume adjustment to it.
While I have not tried it, it may be possible to do in a separate connection string
to the node. So you don't affect anything else.

Just guessing that if you were to start off in a different context, make the
adjustment and forward the incoming to the radio context as normal, would work.

If app_rpt did not reserve * & # in channel, it would be easy fix. But it's Needed.

If you look in the asterisk manual, you might find a control for it directly in the
iax extension description and may likely look the same. Not sure what all is
supported in our old flavor asterisk so beware of versions with manuals.

But, I think I would just wait for the fix for the android app unless you are in
for a leaning lesson and a fewer hair count.

I may have to try the app myself. Sorry not much help.
