Congrats!<br> Tweaking things to make it work is always fun. I have done a custom install on an atom motherboard and have an unholy alliance of IRLP, ALLSTAR and ECHOLINK all in one box. <br><br>So, unless I missed something, you don't really need the internal sound working on that motherboard if you are using the URI as it is a sound processor itself. Some people actually modify CM108 chipset USB sound cards to make them function like the URI. So the built in soundcard does nothing in an Allstar box. But hey, its a learning experience right? A node that is running as a hub like yours is now actually does not sound processing as all it is doing is exchanging packets and occasionally transcoding GSM to ulaw or some such thing.<br>
<br>As far as I know, the ztdummy running as the timer is normal.<br><br>Anywas, Congrats again and keep sharing that's how we all learn. Come visit us on the Alaska Reflector....IRLP 9070, Allstar 27597, or echolink KL7M.<br>

<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Here is what I did today..</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I took a brand new DN2800MT Atom MB. </font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">Added 2G of ram, and 60G SSD drive and put that in an M350 case. I then took the Debian *64bit* net install, the latest - 6.0.5 and I used a tool to put it on a USB stick. From there, I booted from the usb stick and I installed Debian. I had been to this point prior so I knew how to get here.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Next I knew I needed to get new drivers for the ALSA support. So I went to Realtek and downloaded their linux kernel modules.. Built and installed them - this meant I also had to put a development environment on the debian install through apt-get. Ok, so far so good.</font></span><span lang="en-us"></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I had seen this as my motivation to get this working on Debian… </font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"></span><a href="http://kriskirkland.com/?p=143" target="_blank"><span lang="en-us"><u><font color="#0000FF" face="Calibri">http://kriskirkland.com/?p=143</font></u></span><span lang="en-us"></span></a><span lang="en-us"></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I took this install script and modified it a little. Also because I can't get to the <a href="http://dl.allstarlink.org" target="_blank">dl.allstarlink.org</a> site directly (DNS issues), I got the files I needed through my cell connection and used them locally.</font></span><span lang="en-us"></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">During the install, you build the entire source for everything. This was my first challenge, t</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">here were errors in the source that I had to fix. As it turns out, it was just include files that needed to be added due to the recent kernel that I'm running. I also had to fix the udev rules for zaptel, they were basically wrong for the version of udev that is running, nothing dramatic, just some "="'s that needed to be "==" due to a change in the udev syntax.</font></span><span lang="en-us"></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Next</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">I added the ixaRPT setup and rebooted.</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri"> Wow, a clean reboot. Nothing wrong and everything seems to be working… I was using the allstarlink node list to determine if I was up or not and I've since found out that I've got one little issue to work through. On a reboot, the system is functional, but I don't show as registered in the list. If I manually stop and start asterisk, I show up correctly.</font></span><span lang="en-us"></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">So… Bottom line, I seem to be functional and on the allstar link network with node 28578 - now before you all start connecting to me… There are no radios attached just yet. :)</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">… I'm waiting on my URI's and I've got an RTCM setting here that I need to look at in the coming days.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">But thanks to everyone that helped with suggestions and ideas… And thanks to Bryan</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri"> Boyle for connecting to me and letting me know that audio was working both way, at least from my windows machine via the iaxRpt client… </font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I also have the X-Lite client configured to connect to the sip.allstarlink site, but I don't know how to make PTT work with it :)</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">… I'll figure that out next.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Bottom line, a pristine Debian install, with a Debianish ACID like install, on a very late model Atom MB…. Most would say 3 strikes, but man does it feel good when it works!</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Ok, one quick question</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">… The *only * notice I get on bootup is something about </font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">a zap(tel) timer and using ztdummy instead…. Is that normal?</font></span></p>
