Good feedback. I believe that is the issue. I checked out my URIs on another older slower computer, and they are fine. Need to make a kernel (see David's post) or hardware switch. Now attempting to make the older slower computer work with simpleusb, and see if I can get this repeater online while stumble through the rest of this "upgrade." :-) Thanks much, Bob kk6ecm -----Original Message----- From: Willem Schreuder [mailto:willem@prinmath.com] Sent: Friday, April 25, 2014 8:50 PM To: Bob Cc: 'Chris Andrist'; app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] URI and URIx Testing On Fri, 25 Apr 2014, Bob wrote:

The problem is not your configuration, it is the motherboard. I have tried that exact same motherboard and it just will not work. I think it is the NM-70 chipset, because I had another motherboard using the exact same chipset with the same problems. The simples solution is to get a different motherboard, e.g. the Atom using the NM-10 chipset. What you will find with the problem motherboard is that the alsa utils such as aplay and alsa-mixer works perfectly. You can play audio to the URIx using aplay (connect up powered speakers to the audio out pins). However, neither Asterisk nor uridiag will correctly output audio. I have spend weeks trying to diagnose exactly what the problem is, inserting diagnostic prints in both uridiag and the chan_usbradio code, but I have not been able to figure it out what the issue is. The mixer settings seem to get set correctly, but the audio ends up nowhere. If you simply get a different motherboard, you could download your exact same config and it will work perfectly. I tried that with my node on five differnt computers, and the two using the NM-70 chipset would not work, and the other three using differnt chipsets worked perfectly. If somebody DOES figure out what makes this motherboard (or chipset) whacky, I would love to know, but my advice is to repurpose that motherboard and get one NOT based on the NM-70 chipset. 73 Willem AC0KQ ================================================================ Dr. Willem A.
