[asterisk-users] E1 PRI to and from SIP screeching

[Eric "ManxPower" Wieling]

 From IRC:

Echo Canceler Freak Out, this happens when the rxgain is too high and 
the echo canceler freaks out.  Some users describe it as "screeching", 
"feedback", "static", or other useless terms.  If users report "static" 
on a system where there cannot be static (all digital, PRI, SIP, etc), 
you might be experiencing ECFO.

Try lowering your rxgain on the PRI.
