Re: [App_rpt-users] (no subject)
Hi everyone. I’ve had my Allstar ACID system up for years and for the most part it’s working fine. If the repeater has had no local use for an extended period of time, then someone local transmits into it, The first 10 seconds of audio is “mororboat” choppy, with rapid rhythmical packet loss into the remote nodes (not the local transmitter though), then after 10 seconds or so it’s fine again and There’s no way to get it to do that again except to wait another 2 hours or so. Anyone experienced this? I’m on CenturyLink ISP with the proper ports configured. I don’t find that opening ports makes much difference anyway, the packets seem to find their way.
We had issues similar to what you describe. I spent quite a bit of time troubleshooting, without success. It appeared to be a USB issue. About that time DIAL came out for the RPi, and that has been running rock solid once since then. I then loaded up, what appeared to be a flakey computer with DIAL, which gave me a better platform to trouble shoot the USB. I discovered the hardware did have an issue with USB. The solution was to simply move the two URIs of this two node box to two separate buses, and the computer seems to work fine. I’ve not put it back into service because the RPi is doing so well. If you have a single node, then that won’t help. But... Try DIAL, transferring your ACID /etc/asterisk/*.conf files to DIAL, sans the modules.conf, updating the DIAL version to include only those modules needed. Hope this helps.

Yes - It happened to me on some Dell servers that were attempted to be used for hubs. The issue isn't Internet, but rather hardware related. We moved to SuperMicro servers and the problem is gone. Kevin
John, One possibility is that you've got a very old Linux Kernel (2.6.18?), which doesn't properly support the newer chipset/timer hardware on your MoBo. I had this problem with ACID (CentOS 5.x) about 8 years ago. I ended up hand-cooking 2.6.30.5 kernels, which included the kernel hi-res timer support. That solved the garbled audio problem entirely.
