dogle you are quite right.

I have identified this above at para 2 and some years ago.

It's one of the bugs I am going to try and fix as we never managed to last time. It's really not that much of an issue but it one all users should be aware of.

Lobster your little setup wizard is quite good except there is a huge delay before you hear the 2barks, 15 - 30 seconds.

I must have press the test sound button many times as I was getting barks every now and then for up two three minutes.

The sound bug may be related to the delay
I don't have it - but not good
Maybe a forced close of pjsua for this part of the wizard?
Micko says 'aplay' does play .au files - on my system it does not
Maybe a solution would be to use 'defaultmediaplayer' - assuming there is such a command?

I will do some more work on the wizard and let you have any results soon Smile

Crash?
Run Puppy!

I think I have found a solution to make the sound card play nice with Psip.

add the following line to /root/.psip/pjsua.cfg file:

maybe there's more than one ...

The 'motorboating' one - which seems to be provoked by asking pjsua to make an invalid call (eg to 'voicemail' when not registered with Iptel) is not relieved for me (I'm running 4.3.1 BTW) by addition of the code Smokey kindly suggests.

Note, it can be provoked by telling pjsua to make an invalid call using the CLI, so probably not Psip-dependent at all.

If so this could be tough on the newcomer who has at present no indicator that pjsua is still running when he thinks his VoIP application has been shut down. (Tray anyone?).

Hey, this might be something a bit more serious -

Just after posting, I noticed something very odd with the xload indicator ... red hills disappearing behind Venetian blind ... that brace!, brace! feeling.

Seems that my fiddling, ahem, testing session had left me with close on a dozen Psip processes (not pjsua) still running - that's with nothing on the desktops but the rxvt/topview tablet.

Bummer when one has to restart the X server to clear it.

Edit: Yes, seems Psip is not closed properly unless you do Phone=>Quit and shutdown. Yer average user is just going to hit the X-button, all unawares, like me ... possibly this was intentional to maintain presence for incoming calls? ... but still a big newbie-trap as it stands.

Enclosed is the latest version 0.2 of the PSIP2 Setup wizard

It was designed on and for slacko
- so might need to change sound setter to something more universal than just retrovol

The enclosed zip file has two config.png's - you only need one

It should be simpler to use and understand . . . Smile

dogle the shutdown issue has been around since the beginning of development. I'm sure we have included this in the documentation so part of the solution is education. I have never had more than one instance of Psip running as I was always aware of the problem.

I guess clicking on X and making Psip minimize to the tray would be good except I have no idea how to program that, any ideas?

I know other developers have had the same problem such as zigberts Pmusic but he now has overcome the problem. I will have a look at his code and see what he did.

You are right, the releasing of the sound card is not 100% fixed but it's now much better than it was. I also noticed that if I made an unsuccessful call to someone who was offline it did not seem to release the card. If I then tried my voice mail it worked again and I could listen to music.

Will try and attend conference call on Sunday
- any apart from Smokey and Eric attending?
We may see a development of Bow wow . . .
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/BowWow

The twinkle SIP utility (5MB), seems to work and (of interest to me)
also has a wizard . . .
I sent Eric a voicemail - will try some more with twinkle

. . . will also try leaving messages on android phone perhaps

Hi All,

@lobster...I got the voice message loud and clear from Twinkle
@Grant...your voice was broken and low with rasp/clipping .

Well I just had a set back.
My older lappy lost the monitor and it's the only one that runs psip so far.

I tried Slacko but no joy on my kit. Tried Twinkle and no joy as well.

I may try to hook up to my digital HDTV via monitor cable to try repairs or test further.

Grrrrr...bad timing and I really liked that old lappy.

I still have a few days until Sunday so hopefully a solution will present itself....I wish I had a spare monitor but that kit went to Computers for Kids.....should have kept a monitor.
