[arm-allstar] Audio levels of announcements

[Doug Crompton]

Jeff,

 There is no direct setting for the levels of telemetry (voice, ID, etc.) in Allstar. Most people find that setting the RX and TX levels properly results in a reasonable voice level. I say reasonable because some would like it to be lower. As an example if you had the TX level turned up to compensate for a low RX level it would make the telemetry sound louder. So make sure you have them set correctly. 

One way to change the level is to process all of the audio files to lower their level. I believe someone has written a script to do that??? It would basically run all the files voice through sox and reduce the volume. If it is just your local ID you want to adjust then it would be much easier. Just run the node-id.ul file in /etc/asterisk/local through sox to reduce the volume.

Changing the level of each file is a rather crude way to do it and a much better way would be to have a parameter to do this. This is yet another feature that should be included in a future release. Like the echolink level we should have a general telemetry level. It is on our list!

Subject: [arm-allstar] Audio levels of announcements

Hello all,

If this has already been addressed I apologize but being new to the group I was unsure of how to search through old posts as I am new to the group.

Here is my problem, I am trying to set up my audio levels on my allstar/Echolink Pi node. I am aware of how to adjust the levels in Allstar and Echolink but can not seem to adjust the voice level of the announcements such as the connecting callsign,my callsign and the time. It seems to be extremely loud. I am going crazy on where to find the info on the volume adjustment file.

I went into the RPT.conf file and looked there but am finding it very difficult to find real good documentation on these menu items so its difficult to get info on each file.

Where am I going wrong here and did I miss something?

The radio is a Kenwood with the DMK interface which is operating in Vox mode.

All help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks much,

Jeff KB4JKL
