So, I am a total rookie at Pi but my Digipi setup so easy. Within an hour of my AliExpress package arriving here in Norway, I had running APRS on an HT.
I have been running FLDIGI via Windows with my HF/SSB rig and my main purpose for the Digipi is to use it with the SSB. I am using a Digirig Mobile. 
All is just dandy when I use FLDIGI and Windows.
Then I connected my Digipi and FLDIGI started working right away but I need some help.
I am also very new to FLDIGI. My main use is to receive RTTY weather and Weatherfaxes at sea. The weather faxes are coming in pretty good with Digipi/FLDIGI but the RTTY is a bit gibberish, probably due to way high input audio. And I am not getting Rig control I had with Windows version.
I use Hamlib and my radio is in the list, an ICOM M803. 

My issue is: the audio level when using all the same Digirig Mobile, radio, frequency signal and time is wayyyy high (very RED). I cannot do much with this in the ICOM Marine SSB. Why would the same Digirig Mobile setup cause higher levels via DigiPI? AND...how can I control them in the DigiPi (in Windows you just adjust your sound levels in and out)). Can that be done in DigiPi? 
And how do I get rig control? In Windows I use Hamlib and my Com Port selected in FLDIGI. In the DigiPi I was trying different sound setups including USB, default and others. With the Digirig connected to DigiPi, which sound setup should I use and how can I get myself out of the RED in FLDIGI input sound?

Thank you for everything. I love my tiny computer!

Hi Harley,

Capture audio can be set globally by clicking "Audio" on the DigiPi home page.  Be sure
to press "F4" to see the capture volumes and reduce them until you're out of the red.  I
don't know if fldigi has an input gain slider?  i know you can set the output level in the
lower right corner of fldigi.

Once you're happy with the configuration, be sure to press [save configuration] on
the DigiPi home page.

Hamlib should work exactly like on windows, only instead of "COM2" it's more like
"ttyUSB0" or "ttyACM0" on Linux.  Everything else should be exactly the same.

if it helps,

Craig,
Thank you for the Audio tips. I am out of the RED in FLDIGI. I got rig control going too as I neglected to hit the "initialize" button in the Hamlib dialogue box. I imagine it is easier to have a DigiPi for each radio so configurations can be kept separate. Or have two SD cards, each with its own configuration.
All the best,
Harley
