This isn't likely but I'll put it out there and see what people think:
Is it always chopping off the beginning/end of a word or is it losing chunks all over the place? The way you typed it made me think of a speaker phone with bad voice activity detection. It's hard for me to see how that could be the case though, since I don't think that asterisk supports VAD and it's on your Atlasvoice line. Am I correct in ruling this out?

Wow! thanks for all the fast responses. Let me try to summerize the answers for all the additional questions: 1. David: Yes, QoS is enabled on the firewall. The settins are the following: IAX2: Source :192.168.0.xx port 4569, Destination: 0.0.0.0, Port 4569 Protocol: UDP SIP: Source :192.168.0.xx port 5060, Destination: 0.0.0.0, Port 5060 Protocol: UDP RTP: Source :192.168.0.xx port 10000-20000, Destination: 0.0.0.0, Port 10000-20000 Protocol: UDP where xx is the IP of my trixbox. This seems to me that applies only to outgoing traffic but the device does not allow me to put in at the same time an incoming rule for the same port (Hotbrick LB2). I will try to modify the values you mentioned in the sip.conf and iax.conf. 2. Ovidiu: Buna. The restart fix is only temporary. 3. Syed: I tried to minimize this problem, all ATA's are set to prioritize the G711. THe below was just an example, you can hear the same losses all the time during the conversation, so it is not the audio file format. 4. Jim: The QoS is on, the question is if it is set up ptoperly or not. Please see the configuration at no. 1. Wife wants to through the system out... I am in trouble... :) Thanks for your help guys.
