[arm-allstar] Low Audio Level from Zoiper into node, out RF

[David McGough]

Hi Jim,

Your concerns about low audio levels in Zoiper have been found by other
users and discussed at length, previously. This is a Zoiper problem, not
an Asterisk/AllStar problem. I don't know if any fix has been found or
not, the best solution is more flexible adjustment in the Zoiper software. 
Interestingly, the iPhone version of Zoiper appears less configurable than 
the Android version...I'm not sure why.

On a side note, this problem isn't just with AllStar or Asterisk versions,
it's preset when using Zoiper with Asterisk as a standard phone PBX as
well.

Your AllStar audio levels should definitely be setup from the perspective
of the node radio hardware, not an IAX connected application, like Zoiper.
Even if you can adjust the audio on your local node to "fix" the low level
issue, you won't be able to adjust the audio coming from other nodes you
connect to.

Since these types of audio level issues continue to rear their heads, we 
may look for some kind of work-around.

radio source level in USB config. Â That changes things considerably as 
what WOULD be a standard level set from iax sources?
