[Asterisk-Users] Line Noise UPDATE - If you've got line noise, read this
This is an update to the message title LINE Noise HELP! Regarding the static that floods the line and makes continuing a conversation impossible. This was happening on my SIPura-841, but Damian on the list was experience this same problem with POTS phones as well through his TDM400. Below is an excerpt of what I recently sent to Damian as we've been trying to figure this out. Well heres the deal with my box. I had a Celeron 400 w/ 128mb of ram and an UATA66 HD. I finally got fed up with the static on the phone(because it would basically cut the conversation off), so I went out and bought a brand new system. Sempron 3000+, 512MB pc3200, 160GB UATA100 ..fresh install of asterisk and zaptel and RH9. I have two X100P FXO cards in my box. Prior to upgrading I ran zttest and observed the results .they were something like an average of 99.96XX which is below what digium is recommending. So I went and upgraded. I tested the phone for a little over 20 minutes and it never cut out or went static one single time, however, it was making a beeping type sound in the background. It was sporadic and varied in volume. I have no idea what is causing it, but at the moment Im quite relieved that its no longer(crossing my fingers) cutting my phone calls off. I ran a zttest on the new box and the outcome was much better, 99.987 for most of them, an occasional 100% and sometimes it would dip down an go to 2%, 40%, 70%,ect. But the test ended and the average was above 99.98. This whole damn thing is quite frustrating, more so for you I can imagine. I hope were closer to a solution now. Have you seen anyone else on the list that has found a cure or workaround? BTW, I was running samba and I stopped the service, but the static continued. (We thought Samba might be part of the problem as my TCPDUMP showed netbios activity at the exact time the line went south...no dice though) Update further...The first conversation on the phone had the beeping as described above, it occurred throughout the conversation. All of the subsequent calls made (about 5, all less than 5 minutes) have been crystal clear and I couldn't tell the difference from that or my POTS phone connected to the local loop. I do have a concern though, if the TDM400 is so seemingly problematic, what else could one use to connect multiple analog phones to the box???

Ok, well, much to my dismay I just had a call go south on me. It seems to only happen when it's business. I can talk personal all night and not have the problem. It must be the black cloud that lingers over my head. Either way, I am so sick of this. I hope someone can figure out what the hell is causing this.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Line Noise UPDATE - If you've got line noise, read this
That is very interesting stuff!!! I've experienced, and still continue to experience, the "line noise" issue, as well as the beeping issue.. The beeping issue took one of the people I was talking to by surprise, he thought the conversation was being recorded.. I have 3 X101P cards for my 3 inbound POTs lines, and I have 3 SPA-2000's connected to my local lan, along with 3 Grandstream Budgettone 100 IP phones, and a remote SPA-2000 at a friends house in a different state. The whole system is running on an older dual processor PII 450Mhz machine with SCSI drives.. 512Mb ram.The system runs RH9 with asterisk version Asterisk CVS-HEAD-03/26/05-17:05:44 built by [EMAIL PROTECTED] on a i686 running Linux Please keep me up-to-date on if this permanetly solves your problem(s), as I can certainly throw more hardware at this if needed!!!

With IDE drives you can give the processes a low priority but those SCSI drives think they are too inportant for that. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Is anyone else using X100P cards and > NOT having this problem?? Yes. I can make a call from a POTS phone hooked up to a Cisco ATA 186, out one X100P to the PSTN, back in a second X100P, to a phone hooked up to the second port on the ATA186 with no noise, and no echo, and a pretty small delay (which you can hear with one handset in each ear.) I have disabled most of the on-board I/O such as parallel, serial, and extra USB controllers, and the X100's are on int 5 and 7, not shared with anything. Interrupts 10 and 11 have a bunch of stuff shared and are used by USB controllers, ethernet ports (one on each IRQ) video card, SCSI controller, and one "unknown device" (some special nVidia device.) This machine is also used as a firewall / gateway / email server but does NOT run X (which I hear can cause problems on some machines.) I've been running this configuration for about 9 months with virtually no problems in a SOHO environment including weekly 3-hour long conference calls. I realize this doesn't help you much, but it IS possible for the configuration to work. I have been thinking about getting a Sipura 3000 to add another FXS port and remove one X100P which would also cut down on the number of interrupts, leaving me one X100P for timming (so I don't need ztdummy.) MAYBE this would help you. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

As far as the network goes, there is very little traffic and the switch is full duplex 100 megabit. Bandwidth is only a factor on he local lan, since asterisk dials out through a FXO card(X100P) then it doesn't go across my broadband connection.

One of them is an Intel motherboard, one of them is a Supermicro, one of them is ASUS motherboard, one of them is an older Compaq system. -- Always do right.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Line Noise UPDATE - If you've got line noise, read this
We have basically the same setup. My cards are on 5 and 7 as well and I've disabled EVERYTHING is the bios that is not necessary; USB, serial, parallel, ect. I would think that if it was an IRQ issue, the call wouldn't tank when I connected it on the card with it's own IRQ. I just got in my new Cisco 7940 a few minutes ago and when I get a powersupply for it, I'm going to remove the Sipura-841 and try this one out and see if maybe that doesn't fix the problem. I'm doubtful, but it seems that this POS sipura is the only thing that is REALLY differing from out configurations. I didn't install X when I setup this box, so I know it's not running, but it's good to know that it can cause problems. Thanks for the info, every bit helps.

I am so sick of this. Is anyone else using X100P cards and > NOT having this problem?? Yes. I can make a call from a POTS phone hooked up to a Cisco ATA 186, out one X100P to the PSTN, back in a second X100P, to a phone hooked up to the second port on the ATA186 with no noise, and no echo, and a pretty small delay (which you can hear with one handset in each ear.) I have disabled most of the on-board I/O such as parallel, serial, and extra USB controllers, and the X100's are on int 5 and 7, not shared with anything. Interrupts 10 and 11 have a bunch of stuff shared and are used by USB controllers, ethernet ports (one on each IRQ) video card, SCSI controller, and one "unknown device" (some special nVidia device.) This machine is also used as a firewall / gateway / email server but does NOT run X (which I hear can cause problems on some machines.) I've been running this configuration for about 9 months with virtually no problems in a SOHO environment including weekly 3-hour long conference calls. I realize this doesn't help you much, but it IS possible for the configuration to work. I have been thinking about getting a Sipura 3000 to add another FXS port and remove one X100P which would also cut down on the number of interrupts, leaving me one X100P for timming (so I don't need ztdummy.) MAYBE this would help you. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
RE: [Asterisk-Users] Line Noise UPDATE - If you've got line noise, read this
Since this thread has been going on for awhile, I've forgotten whether anyone mentioned that at least some Sipura products shipped with a 10 millisecond rtp time. My spa3k was this way. I changed it to 20 milliseconds and reboot. Might just try that if the setting is avail to you. > We have basically the same setup.
