Sounds more like you have set the T1s as your primary timing source with no 
secondary.  Are the phones connected to this analog off a channel bank by 
chance?  If so if you don't specify something to take over timing, the 
channel banks won't sync audio properly to the Asterisk server and what you 
describe is likely to occur.
