[asterisk-users] Choppy audio

[Doug Crompton]

As an addendum to my original message...

In my research it appears this often happens when using more than one
processor. I am using a dual core Pentium.

I guess my dilema here is which way to go. Clearly the audio is not
working the way I would like it to and the way I came to expect from my
old system. When playing messages it seems to get out of sync. Sometimes
skipping ms's of audio. This seems to happen at about a 2-4 second rate.

I believe that I have things setup to use the RTC as a timing device (see
below) but that did not seem to change the problem. It may have made it
better but not much.

What are my choices? HW card?, Upgrade Asterisk?, ????
