[Asterisk-Users] how do i get rid of this blasted echo !!!

Any help on this would be great

I have 2 TDM400P's, 2 asterisk servers (running on powerful boxes with FC1
and * v CVS 1.0.02), and 4 analogue PSTN lines from BT and whatever I do, I
cannot get rid of this damn local echo. Ive tried setting the echoTraining,
echoCancel (in phone.conf and Zapata.conf) , echocancelwhenbridged to every
possible combination , Ive even tried running the fxotune utility to no
avail. Ive swapped cards, telephone lines, servers and also tried different
phones (budgetone, x-lite, 7940) but still it's the same.

Does anybody have any other suggestions as this is driving me up the wall 

Cheers
Gary

You haven't told us what hardware (platform) you're on, nor have you
told us
if your FXO ports are in whatever mode they need to be in for UK impedances 
(I think they default to FCC or North American).

For echo on my PRI I could not get rid of it until I recompiled the zaptel and 
wct4xxp drivers with MMX support enabled and with the instructions reordered 
and used for the pentium 4 processor (which I'm using, Xeon 2.6 to be
exact).

After that, the echo magically disappeared.  I haven't reverted back to my 
original (non-processor-optimized, non-MMX-enabled) drivers to see if it 
comes back, but that's all that's changed and it's in production so
I am
hesitant to screw around with it any more.

[Asterisk-Users] how do i get rid of this blasted echo !!!

Sorry for the delay in replying to this post, my hardware platform is an HP
Compaq D530 SFF - 2.4gb /512mb /40gb. I have a TDM02b configuration (2xFXO).
You mention FCC and the mode for UK impedance, can you explain a little
further on this one as I am a little lost, I cant see any setting with
"FCC"
anywhere (even in the config samples) so could you explain whereabouts I set
this ?

The other question I have is regarding the MMX stuff you talk about. My
processor is a P4 2.4ghz, excuse my lack of knowledge here but I thought MMX
was a feature bundled with processors of about 5 years ago?? Do I still need
to recompile with MMX support, and if so, some pointer on how to do this
would be appreciated (also, can I recompile the zaptel drivers and carry on
as normal, or will I need to reinstall asterisk again?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regards
Gary

[Asterisk-Users] how do i get rid of this blasted echo !!!

So is it accepted as standard that compiling with MMX will help improve echo
type issues ?

Thanks Error.

I have switched to IAX looong ago....much better !
Just battle when doing double NAT :)

I dont have the phones here with me,
but lets say its different...is there away
to adjust the channel to fix the err ?

[Asterisk-Users] how do i get rid of this blasted echo !!!

Dennis, Thanks, I am currently using kernel 2.4, are you saying there are
fixes for this sort of thing in kernel 2.6.9 ????

I've added MMX and it didn't help.  I also did the
CFLAGS+=-march=pentium4
with no help there either.  The more I search, the more I found and I'm down
to disabling any hardware not used in the box such as USB and recompiling
the kernel with a fresh copy from kernel.org.  It seems there were a lot of
problems solved when 2.6.9 came out.

If I ever get mine fixed, I will try to post everything I did.
