[asterisk-users] Bad audio quality on SIP

[Asterisk]

It's all in the local LAN network - client computers (with SIP
softphones) are connected and registered at Asterisk SIP proxy via 100
MB connection each.

The QoS is enabled under TCP/IP protocol in LAN connection in Windows
(cause SIP softphones are running in Windows environment), and tos in
sip.conf is set to 0x18. Unfortunately I don't have access to switch to
tell you how it's set up there, but the network technicians said it is
enabled.

If it's a random phone on the SIP side, we have to look further
upstream.
While jitterbuffers may help, in my opinion they mask a problem.

What type of connection do you have to the internet?  Have you done
tracert's to your voip provider?  What do they look like?

When you say that you do QoS - how?  What device and settings/app
helper?

Well, the PSTN side is complaining about a random phone on the SIP side.
Yes, they do hear choppiness.

If the PSTN side is only complaining about conversations with a single
phone
on the SIP side, look at the SIP phone.

Check the settings for that SIP phone/PC (VAD disabled, NIC settings,
runaway processes).  Do PSTN callers here choppiness from the SIP phone
caller?

Hi guys,

I have the following configuration:

10 SIP softphones <--> Asterisk <--> PSTN

Audio is always good on SIP softphone side, but callers from PSTN side
*sometimes* complain that the audio quality is bad (and volume low). The
QoS
is turned on on the computers where SIP softphone is installed, and the
tos
setting in sip.conf is set to 0x18.

The interesting thing is that usually only one SIP softphone user (but
each
time someone else) would get complaints like that ... others seem to
work
okay.

What could be wrong?

Thanx,
Alex
