I find most sysops adjust the audio by ear so that itself adds to the mismatch.   I like the cop commands, 33-34 to turn on and off the audio. 
Zipper is good, but as mentioned ACID has its advantages.  One being it still supports ztmonitor.  That's a good tool. 
Maybe if we all send in a 5 dollar donation once a year, it may in courage the code guys to consider some of the suggestions out there. 
I'm on my way to kick in right now.

Yes it's easy to turn off dis/connect messages. See telemdefault http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/103. I like mode 2. 

Echolink levels can be adjusted independently of other audio. In your node stanza you should see the following statements near the top. Uncomment or add them. 

erxgain=-3                          ; Echolink receive gain adjustment
                                    ; Note: Gain is in db-volts (20logVI/VO)
etxgain=3                           ; Echolink transmit gain adjustment
                                    ; Note: Gain is in db-volts (20logVI/VO)

One thing I like to do is add another node to my system just for echolink. That way you can dis/connect it as needed.

Hi Tim,
 
Thanks for the reply . I think I want to shut them off. When I was on the win system the other night there were so many connects and disconnect announcements you could not here the net control. Is It easier to just turn them off instead of  turning them down?
 
I have the radios adjusted good for input and output deviation, What I am speaking of is the announcements.  Thanks for the info . Apparently there is a difference when you go to radio tune mode from Cli vs. root.  The cli allows more detailed tuning.
 
Another issue I have is with Echolink. I personally don’t like Echolink but one of my repeater users does a net with it . The echo link come in at a different volume level than let’s say the web transceiver or another allstar node . both my nodes connect together great but Echolink is defiantly lower . Is there a way to get a volume increase just for Echolink? I was thinking of putting a txmixer = 250 command in the Echolink.conf. But I think that may make everything else get louder too.

When you set the TX and RX levels per instructions the announcements will be the correct level. 
 
Please (again) see http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/48 for all the gory details of setup with chan_usbradio. If you use chan_simpleusb the RX procedure is a bit different: Generate (with a service monitor) a full quieting 1kHz tone at 3kHz dev with no CTCSS. At the OS CLI type radio_tune_menu, adjust the reading for 3kHz. With a RTCM the procedure is pretty much the same except you have nice indicator LEDs right on the RTCM.
 
Transmit is pretty much the same regardless of the interface.  Turn of any TX CTCSS. Press *989 to generate the reference test level tone. Then measuring with your service monitor set the dev to 3 kHz.
