I have set up a couple of test Asterisk servers and have never had a problem with sound. I've just done a fresh install on a dual 1GHZ PIII Asus box running Fedora Core3 with the Digium PCI Dev kit and following all the various Core 3 How-To's. I can make calls ok but when any sound is sent from the Asterisk box such as voice prompts and music on hold the sound is completely chopped up in distorted spurts. I've recompiled n times from scratch and can't seem to make any headway with this.

Thanks for the input. Downloaded kernel sources, recompiled, re installed Asterisk from scratch. Now I have no sound at all.

[Asterisk-Users] Help! - Unintelligible prompts and music
You'll probably find the IRC channel to be a lot of help. The folks there generally are also here. And *most* of them like to help others. It sounds like some sort of I/O bottleneck. Have you opened up another terminal and run top at the same time you are calling in to get an idea of what's going on? What sort of disk subsystem do you have in this computer? I'd definitely bring this up in IRC and I'm sure you'll find someone helpful to assist you.

Major difference is an Adaptec I2O SCSI RAID controller driving an external RAID 5 array. I'm also wondering if I haven't gotten a bad Digium TDM11B card (Dev Kit PCI). Although the zaptel drivers seem to load properly and there are no errors when starting Asterisk I don't get a dial tone on the FXS port and can't seem to dial out on the FXO port. -----Original Message----- From: brian@txshirts.com [mailto:brian@txshirts.com] Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 4:54 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Help! - Unintelligible prompts and music You'll probably find the IRC channel to be a lot of help.

I've put in a request to get the board replaced. Hopefully this will work out. I too drove myself crazy because the Digium diagnostics don't really indicate anything is wrong with the hardware. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Prior [mailto:sprior@geekster.com] Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 7:44 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Help! - Unintelligible prompts and music AHBLWEB wrote:> Aha!

I drove myself NUTS for over a weekend trying to get it to work. Once I got a replacement TDM11B card everything started working normally (except for the low volume voicemail problem). BTW, the modules on the original card were fine (I still have them), it was just the backplane card that was bad.
