asterisk users - Apr 2004 - X100P card issues - noise, volume, etc

Hello,

I have just managed to get my 1st * server up and running and have a lot of
issues with theX100P analog card. Would really appreciate anyone trying
to help me on the following :

1. The receive and transmit is too soft. So i increased the txgain and rxgain.
The volume is fine after this, but there is a lot of 'wind' noise on the
line.
I have my echo cancellation on, aggregive suppression on but still no use.
However, the moment I set the txgain and rxgain back to 0, everything
works fine but both parties compain that they cannot hear each other. Any
solution for this?

Also, if I use an ISDN interface, will it solve my problems? I understand that
since it is digital, there are no longer issues with hangup detection,
noise, echo, etc. Is that true?

Also, has anyone had any experience with conferening (i.e bridging) 2 FXO cards
together?

Thanks

San

I think the problem is when you turn on rx/txgain the echo cancel will 
stop working? Check your /var/log/messages file that is how I found out 
about it.
