An indication of audio level 5 is fine. I do remember seeing warning messages from Direwolf, but maybe that was on Linux and not Windows.

I'll give it a try at "5" for a while and see how it goes. Maybe I can increase the input level a bit and split the difference between Direwolf and the other apps, as long as nobody turns red and complains that it's too high.

Thanks!

Windows 10 has the 'Sounds' dialog (right-click on the taskbar speaker icon) which lets me adjust the levels for physical input and output devices, Volume Mixer (also right-click the taskbar speaker icon) which lets me adjust the output levels for each application, and 'App volume and device preferences' (buried in Windows Settings) which lets me assign physical input and output devices to an individual application, as well as adjust the output level for each application. But nothing to adjust the INPUT level for each application, sadly.

I guess I'm just going to have to keep using this 'Banana' unless something else turns up. :)

Have you looked into the built in Volume Mixer for windows.? It allows you to assign input an output device levels to each application.? You will see the ability to set the applications that are currently running.?

I use both Windows 10 and 11, and if I remember correctly they have slightly different paths.? I just click on Settings and type in Volume Mixer in the Find a setting field.

Anything like pavucontrol for Windows?
I have a Sabrent USB audio device connected between a Kenwood TS-570 and a desktop PC, which is running Windows 10. When I adjust the audio input levels for a good level as reported by Direwolf (~50), the level is much too high for the other applications that I use - Fldigi, JS8Call, JTDX, etc. But if I adjust the audio input levels to satisfy these applications, then Direwolf reports an audio level of ~5.
?
I'm trying to find a simple utility that will allow me to adjust the audio INPUT level per each application like I can do with 'pavucontrol' in Linux, but for Windows.
?
I've looked at multiple different "audio mixer" utilities for Windows, but they all only seem to do audio OUTPUT control per application. Right now I'm using something called 'VoiceMeeter Banana', which I think I have finally gotten setup and working right (?), but it's WAY over-complicated for what I am trying to do, with multiple inputs and outputs to tweak (VAIO? AUX? A1? B3? huh?) and various buttons and knobs to twiddle.
?
I just want something simple like pavucontrol for Windows. :(? Has anybody found something like this?
?

Re: Trouble connecting to APRS2 using direwolf.conf & HT on Rpi 3, decodes beacons well though....
I see my confusion. I don't know how the lines got separated, but I can see in the "raw" conf file that the comment is on the same line. Rectified. Thank you. And APRSC, again me misinterpreting the Direwolf report stating "check server status here ", which I thought was going to show how my igate was reporting to the aprs2 server, which it is not. It is just the status of the server I am currently connected to. I had a tab open, which was not helpful. Aprs.fi seems to have the info I need. It does seem to all be working. So now I can temporarily shelf this aspect of the project and work on antennas - soon it will have its very own Ringo Ranger, rather than sharing the antenna via a switch. In conclusion: I feel that the instruction PDF is probably too deep, as are the options on the direwolf.conf file. I think there should be a "basic setup" and then an in depth setup details for the deeper nerd. I don't think I will need most of the instructions available, and they caused me more confusion than necessary. Thank you everyone for your time and help!

Re: Trouble connecting to APRS2 using direwolf.conf & HT on Rpi 3, decodes beacons well though....
So, I have renamed the direwolf.conf file in the /build directory, and renamed both sdr.conf files in case they were a problem. There is still a generic.conf but that seems to be fully commented out as a reference file (?).
?
Direwolf does seem to be logging into the APRS2 server, but I am not showing up on APRSC and still have no COMMENT posted on aprs.fi.
?
Here is my current conf file, and below is the log. At this point I feel that there is not much room for error.

Includes optional support for: ?cm108-ptt libgpiod Reading config file direwolf.conf
Config file: Unrecognized command 'COMMENT=KK7BCO iGate | DireWolf 1.8 on Rpi 3A + Alinco DJ-190' on line 40.

When using VOX, ensure that it adds very little delay (e.g. 10-20) milliseconds between the time that transmit audio ends and PTT is deactivated. For example, if using a SignaLink USB, turn the DLY control all the way counter clockwise. Using VOX built in to the radio is a VERY BAD idea. ?This is intended
for voice operation, with gaps in the sound, and typically has a delay of about a half second between the time the audio stops and the transmitter is turned off. When using APRS your transmiter will be sending a quiet carrier for about a half second after your packet ends. ?This may interfere with the the next station to transmit. ?This is being inconsiderate. If you are trying to use VOX with connected mode packet, expect
frustration and disappointment. ?Connected mode involves rapid responses which you will probably miss because your transmitter is still on when the response is being transmitted. Read the User Guide 'Transmit Timing' section for more details.

Re: Trouble connecting to APRS2 using direwolf.conf & HT on Rpi 3, decodes beacons well though....
Just a suggestion.
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
Locate all the direwolf.conf files on your computer (find or locate or whatever works for you), make a list of them and their paths. Rename each one to something unique, like direwolf-1.conf, direwolf-2.conf, etc. One by one, rename one of them back to direwolf.conf, execute direwolf and examine results. Afterwards, rename back to the unique name and try the next one. Make note of what works and what doesn't. When you find the one that works as desired or that exhibits a problem you can figure out, leave that one named direwolf.conf, edit if necessary, and leave all other renamed to something other than direwolf.conf. Crude, but effective, especially for those of us less than outstanding experts in the field.

Re: Trouble connecting to APRS2 using direwolf.conf & HT on Rpi 3, decodes beacons well though....
It shouldn't be able to do anything over RF since I am only connected to the output of the HT. Maybe I don't have an argument in the config to stop digipeaters from repeating my location. I thought I did. The previous test was with the fixed IP. I just changed it back to using and commented out that last line with the IGTXLIMIT. Looks like it now is able to receive beacons, but it is also still producing the [rx>ig]# lines between. I will let it stew. Off to work.
