It exists as an absolute, last ditch fall-back for Asterisk to provide a source of timing when none exists. As such, and assuming you have ruled out all other sources of the garbled audio, then I'm really not surprised that it isn't very effective.</div><div><br></div><div>Your best bet would be to:</div><div> - Provide a hardware timing source that res_timing_dahdi can use. IIRC, this should work even without a specific card, but does require the dahdi kernel module to be installed and available. (I could be wrong on the need for a physical card however, so your mileage may vary.)</div><div> - Upgrade to a version of the kernel that res_timing_timerfd supports. That should be Linux 2.6.26 and glibc 2.8 or later.</div><div><br></div><div>Personally, if I were in your shoes, I'd go with the latter. CentOS 6 should be good out of the box, and CentOS 5 is pretty long in the tooth.</div></div><span class=""><div><br></div><div>Matt</div>-- <br><div class="m_7657995868458965992gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Matthew Jordan<br>Digium, Inc. | CTO<br>445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville, AL 35806 - USA<br>Check us out at: <a href="http://digium.com" target="_blank">http://digium.com</a> & <a href="http://asterisk.org" target="_blank">http://asterisk.org</a></div>
