Re: [Asterisk-Users] [Fwd: Eicon Diva 2.01 S/T PCI quality problems]

[Kristof Jozsa]

Found out what's wrong, maybe it can help others.. my linux's package manager 
automatically pulled the most fresh version of asterisk, 1.2beta. Downgrading to 
1.0.8 solved all problems described below, I get excellent quality and no noise now.


cheers,

Hi all,

I'm experimenting with Asterisk on linux using an Eicon Diva 2.01 S/T 
PCI card.

I'd set up the card using the hisax driver and isdn4linux (titled as Old
ISDN4Linux (obsolete) in the 2.6.12 kernel. I can make SIP calls and 
outgoing

phone calls as well, but gathered a few problems on my way:

1. Plain SIP calls using softphones on windows clients work fine not 
counting
the delay I'm experimenting. We talk about 1-1.5 secs delay in the 
speech which

is rather distrubing (no noise in the line though).

2. Outgoing calls eg. to my mobile phone has some more serious problems. 
Speech
quality on my mobile phone is excellent. However, sound quality on the 
asterisk
console machine where I dialled from is about unacceptable. It has about 
90%

static noise and about 10% speech somewhere in the middle. I have the same
experience calling from a windows softphone through asterisk to my 
handy, maybe

a little less noise (around 80%).

So my questions would be: can I do anything with the issues described 
above? Is
it a hardware problem (eg. I need to replace the old and cheap card to a 
more
modern one)? Maybe it's a driver problem (eg. the hisax driver is known 
to work
only with such extreme static noise)? I also don't really understand why 
the

static appears only on the server side and not on the called side.

Any help or suggestions are much appreciated,
thanks very much in advance.
