[Xastir] direwolf won't receive packets

[David Ranch]

Hello Skyler,

> Found the problem, dire wolf oddly was transmitting audio through my sound card and receiving audio from the computers internal mic instead of from the sound card.

That's not Direwolf's fault, that's Linux's PulseAudio's fault.


> I fixed the problem through the audio program and told direwolf to get audio from mic but I am confused because I set the proper PlugHW in the direwolf conf.

This should be well covered in the Direwolf User-Guide.  Have you read that?


> Also, does anybody else have trouble with the font colors they use when you can barely see that lime green against grey in the terminal? It doesn't matter really though.

Yes, this is a common complaint and also addressed in the DIreolf User 
Guide.  You want to start Direwolf with "-t 0" to disable color coding.  
There are lots of ways to start Direwolf on Linux and here is one 
example I wrote that supports either Direwolf or a TNC-Pi on a Raspberry 
Pi (it's a shell script so view it in your favorite editor):
