Hello, I have an interesting situation. I have been using Allstar for over a month discovering its capabilities. Tonite a friend on node 28679 tells me my audio is distorted. Im puzzled because I haven't changed any settings on my node in a few days, although I did setup a new server that will go next week to Puerto Rico. So I turn on a remoterig radio in Chicago (independent of Allstar) to listen to myself, and indeed my audio sounds awful. So I check for all possible causes, but nothing changes. I switched radios, power supplies, moved cables around, but problem continues. I even reset my network and changed switch. Yet I decided to use echolink to connect to same exact hardware/URI FOB etc, and audio sounds perfect. I thought it was my friends radio, but I connected his radio to the WINS network during a net, and audio was fine. So my question is this. My 2 nodes on same server can connect to each other (28532 -> 28689), audio sounds great. I connect to node in Chicago, and audio is awful. I use echolink with same exact hardware on both ends, audio is perfect. So it is not a hardware or audio setting problem. It seems to be network and/or related to VOIP audio. I have yet to test with someone else other then KP4EOP. I even tested with the new server I am setting up, and it also has same issues. Even changed ports. Anyone seen this happen?
have you set your audio levels to the standard app_rpt/Allstar TLP?

Yes, audio levels are set perfectly. Believe me, I am totally perplexed as to what is causing this as it just happened out of nowhere. I can connect from one node to another and audio sound great both ways. It's only when I connect outside my network using Allstar. If I use echolink from the one node that has it configured, to the node in Chicago I'm testing with, audio sounds great. Same hardware. It is not an audio level setting problem. It is not a usbradio option setting, as I use 2 entirely different radios and both have same situation. It is not a server setting, as I have tested on 2 separate servers, and same problem. I rebooted both servers several times. No change. The only common thing is my network and ISP. Tested with my IRLP node, all is ok. Tested bandwidth, everything looks good (average 40MBPS up/ 5MBPS down). On 6/23/2012 4:51 AM, Jim Duuuude wrote:

Well, maybe we should get together, bring up a connection, and swap some tone. Please (off list, of course), send me your phone number and login info to your system (so that I can see it from both ends while we are testing). Time-wise today things are not looking good. It's definitely a majorly serious skater day. My friend and I are going to Westchester and also check out the old (rather bowly) park at Venice. So if I get back soon enough (keeping in mind the time difference there) I will call. However, realistically, we went to bed at about 0200 our time last night (er, this morning I guess).

Does rebooting the computer fix it? We get an under water sound from time to time on our older computers. Rebooting fixes it. -- Tim :wq On Jun 23, 2012, at 12:04 AM, (KP4TR)Ramon Gonzalez wrote:
