[Asterisk-Users] X-Lite Softphone

[Wiley Siler]

I recently just started using this phone again and it works very well.
Call quality is excellent for me.  I even have a user that VPNs into my
network and attaches to Asterisk box with X-lite.  Call quality is still
excellent despite extra overhead from VPN.

In case you did not have this link...

lite

Your codec selection will also affect your perceived call quality.
Are you using GSM or ULAw?  I use uLaw on all internal connected
softphones.
Why not?  We have the internal bandwidth.

In short, there is certainly nothing wrong with the software.  I would
check...

Codec selections - X-lite (deselect all but G711u) and in Asterisk
configs (bandwidth = high is set?)
X-Lite configuration exactly as in the link above...
Headset is of good quality?  (I use a $70 Plantronics USB headset and it
works great)

Are you running a ton of junk in your system tray?  Do you have a
billion little memory eaters loaded that you don't even use?  You would
be shocked at how many people don't realize how many junk items run in
the system tray and eat memory.  Drop things like, winamp agent,
quicktime agent, winzip quickstart, etc, etc, etc....  

I use my softphone as my primary phone now.  All calls to my Polycom
IP500 forward to my PC.
I would never go back either.  It is just too convenient to pause the
MP3 player and take the call handsfree.

Luck,
Wiley

I tried both with and without a headset.
