[Asterisk-Users] Static on outgoing calls (Quad E1)

[Ben Merrills]

Just FYI,

It turned out that the problem was a simple one, but not something you'd
expect to be a big issue these says (with ACPI etc): IRQ sharing. There
was an onboard gfx card using IRQ 11, the same IRQ as the digium card.

lspci -v 

showed the true story, even though

cat /proc/interrupts

didn't. Hope that helps anyone else out there with similar issues.

Cheers,

Ben

I placed a call as follows:

SIP (Cisco Phone) -> Asterisk PRI (outgoing) -> Asterisk PRI (incoming)
-> Sip (Cisco)

The call exhibited the same problems as before, static crackle on the
line. (Dialled party)

I still think this is an issue with the Digium card, but I'm unsure as
to what. 

I've been playing with the rxgain and txgain, although I think this just
has the effect of making the call so quiet that there's little noise to
hear.

Hope this provides some help... confused :(

Ben

Can you try a SIP - Asterisk -PSTN - SIP call?

What I want to know is if you dial out of your Cisco SIP Phone via the 
PRI and force that call to loop back immediately (by dialing one of your

DIDs) to your Asterisk an then get answered by another SIP Phone, does 
the call sound bad?  I think the idea here is to isolate wether the bad 
sound is due to your hardware and immediate PSTN switch or some farther 
away PSTN switch.

Calls that go out of your Asterisk get routed one way in the PSTN jungle

and calls coming to you probably get routed another way.  Thats is one 
way to explain why there is bad audio on outgoing calls and good on 
incoming.
