RE: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom 501 horrible echo
I have had the same issue. It has a lot to do with the acoustics, as well as gain. Before I messed with the config files it sounded great, then I fussed with them and upgraded to the latest sip, and now I also notice this on speaker. I would go totally default, local configure and see how they sound...

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom 501 horrible echo
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Herring I have the following situation: Asterisk 1.2.1 25+ Polycom 501 telephones. Bootrom 2.6.2.0032 Application 1.6.2.0041 Some 501's local to my network, some across the great INTERNET divide. PRI connected to Sangoma card. I've got the exact same setup, boot ROM and application versions too, except I'm running Asterisk 1.2.2 and am experiencing the same issue. At first I thought I'd broken the mike by seeing if the mike hole up front was for the power adapter (didn't even think to check out the included network cable). Issue: horrible echo (and squeals, and underwater-like sound) on speaker phone when calling from extension to extension. I can only attest to the echo, squeal and variance in volume going from the handset to an FXO connection, but it's there. Also, using the built in hardware check show a surprising amount of background noise from my PC, more so than my 7960. All gains, etc. are as listed in the Polycom Admin Guide. I'm using pretty much the defaults too as I'm still correcting and moving entries to the sip.cfg and phone1.cfg files. The only thing I can think of is to play with the AGI settings. Anyone with thoughts of where to start? Same here please!
