What works

Everything I tried except...

What does not

Can't use proxies. When you attempt to connect to a proxy server, it authenticates, then immediately disconnects. Doesn't matter what OS the proxy is running on; the problem always occurs when the client is running under Wine, but never under MS Windows.

Workarounds

What was not tested

SysOp modes

Additional Comments

Since Qtel doesn't support proxies at all, EchoLink is still the best choice.

Keying up
by Ted Taylor on Tuesday December 30th 2014, 10:34

When I press the space bar to keyup there is a delay of about 15 seconds before the audio level meter comes up & I can speak. Does anyone know what the problem is please, it didn't happen before I used it with win 7 or earlier versions of Linux. I am using Linux Mint 17 qina 32 bit. Any help greatly appreciated.

I'kl give it a try on my machine when I can and submit a new report. In the mean time feel free to submit a report on your own experience.

Pulsaudio
by Michael Renner on Sunday August 22nd 2010, 7:51

it worked fine with the USB headset since kubuntu switched to pulseaudio with 10.04. I can't choose the 2nd soundcard (the headset) any longer. But EchoLink work with the built-in soundcard.

Audio trouble and fix
by KB3CS - Chris on Saturday October 17th 2009, 7:07

on my SuSE 11.1 system with kernel 2.6.27.29-0.1-default and wine 1.1.31:

upon starting up echolink 2.0.908, I'd see the message "fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem, disabling mixer"

as soon as echolink made any sound at all, it would emit a fraction of sound and then hang (completely unresponsive).

fix: change the audio settings with winecfg to use OSS instead of ALSA.
(the "Test Sound" button does not work for me with either audio driver)

Audio problems
by Stuart on Saturday March 8th 2008, 19:53

Having tried this app, I was impressed except for the audio. When trying to transmit, there was really bad echo. It seems that only the first second or so a transmission is recorded, and that is sent to the remote station over and over again at constantly diminishing volume.
