Re: [Asterisk-Users] Wildcard X100P or TDM400P?
The only reason i like this card, it is a cheap RTC which we need for conferencing. We also used ztdummy but Dell Poweredge servers we use, have ohci USB and ztdummy only works with uhci. I wish some one would come up with some other means to have RTC. :-( On Tue, 2005-03-08 at 12:30 -0600, Steven Critchfield wrote: On Tue, 2005-03-08 at 09:56 -0800, Spencer Nassar wrote: I'm looking to add a single FXO port to my Asterisk box.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Wildcard X100P or TDM400P?
Steven is totally right BTW. No support for clones. However, I will tell you this. I built my first box with a clone so I could see if I could do all I needed on this system. Then I promptly purchased my two TDM400s for my 8 POTS lines. Wish it were PRI but those are the breaks for this building. My recommendation is that you can test with a clone but when it comes time to build for real, put your money where it counts and get original Digium equipment. You get the support and you are giving back to the people who released Asterisk at NO CHARGE in the first place. If that is not motivation enough, I can guarantee that the clone equipment does not work as good as the real thing. Good site to buy from http://www.thevoipconnection.com $0.02. Good luck!

Go look at the code for format_wav.c. I have code in there and have
actually looked at it myself.
This is at line 64 of my code base.
#define GAIN 2 /* 2^GAIN is the multiple to increase the volume by */
And this around line 480 in the wav_write function.
if (fs-buf) {
tmpi = f-data;
/* Volume adjust here to accomodate */
for (x=0;xf-datalen/2;x++) {
tmpf = ((float)tmpi[x]) * ((float)(1 GAIN));
if (tmpf 32767.0)
tmpf = 32767.0;
if (tmpf -32768.0)
tmpf = -32768.0;
tmp[x] = tmpf;
tmp[x] = ~((1 GAIN) - 1);
f is the frame to be written. f-data is the audio data to be written.
The for loop just uses pointer math to traverse each sample of the
buffer and increase the volume of the sample with clipping control.
