[arm-allstar] Audio Stuttering Help

[John]

Great lead, Bill. Thank you. I've brought other nodes online in a similar fashion, but that was with a Windows machine. The OS change hadn't even occurred to me because CrossOver is working so well with some of my other favorites like Putty and WinSCP. I'll drag out a an old Windows laptop and test this theory tonight.

I'm showing to be registered with node 2186 (Allstar) and Echolink 152242 - WB5NFC-L. At this point, I'm only connecting with iaxRpt to the node, issuing a *81 or hearing the CW ID upon first forced transmit via iaxRpt. Both are severely distorted. No errors noted from the CLI with asterisk -rvvv. No additional nodes operational at this time. I have not tried increasing the Asterisk loading delay yet - but I will.

Before you do that bring the system up and after a minute or so do a asterisk restart  - astres.sh  - and see if it still does it. If it doesn't then increase the delay.
