This may be dumb and/or obvious, but are you playing music on either
machine making the call?  Since kiax uses soundcard audio it's possible
for music output from a music player (amarok, winamp etc) to get into
the audio stream, especially if you're using something like Arts or ESD
to mux audio.

Incidentally I use kiax all the time with no strange music sources
noted.

Just a thought.

That was the first thing I checked for.  I have since discovered that by 
checking
off the comfort noise selection in the options for the SIP account and then
restarted kiax, I don't get the noise anymore.  I guess it's something that
kiax uses as a way to make sure the caller knows I'm still on the line with
them.

Also, it sounds more like random computer noises (beeps and stuff,
like in the old Inside Your PC screensaver from Windows 98 Plus! pack.)  Thanks
for the help!

[Asterisk-Users] kiax - iax2 softphone

2006-06-14 Thread undrhil . 1528785
Has anyone on here used kiax before?  I am asking because I have it installed
on several computers and have been able to get it to connect and register
to my Asterisk box.  I can even call between them and my SIP softphones. 
The problem I am having is this: when I use kiax to call someone else, they
get some kind of background music playing while I am talking to them.  I have
called from kiax to kiax phone and get this on both ends but I cannot identify
what it is or where it's playing from.  I've watched the CLI when I make the
call and there is no indication of playing music on hold or background music.
 The dialplan doesn't even reference music on hold, it just dials whichever
phone I am trying to call.

So, I am wondering if this is something which
I need to set in kiax and if anyone who has used kiax might be able to give
me a hint on where I can disable this at.  I would prefer to use an IAX 
softphone
since it only requires one port to be open into my firewall, but kiax is the
only one I've found for free.  Once I get Asterisk up and running properly,
I'll probably buy a couple of licenses for a good quality softphone, but until
then, free is the best for me.  :)

So, any ideas?

Will probably do for testing. The user interface could use some work.

 
 So, any ideas?

No. But some obvious follow-up questions would be:

1. have you tried any other IAX clients (using the same IAX line)
2. ixconf, extensions.conf, CLI trace?
