Using 1.2.29 on Linux version 2.6.18.8-0.3 (SUSE 10.2) Intel 686 dual core. I just switched over to this system from an older SUSE 2.4.10 kernel system. I am getting choppy audio in voicemail and general message playback. I installed Zaptel and ztdummy module and the following is zaptel status: slate:/etc/init.d # cat /proc/zaptel/1 Span 1: ZTDUMMY/1 "ZTDUMMY/1 (source: RTC) 1" Is this indicating proper installation? Is there anything else I should try/do?? The choppyness is not extreme, just not perfect. I had no problem in my old system with 2.4. I had not even installed zaptel or ztdummy there.

As an addendum to my original message... In my research it appears this often happens when using more than one processor. I am using a dual core Pentium. I guess my dilema here is which way to go. Clearly the audio is not working the way I would like it to and the way I came to expect from my old system. When playing messages it seems to get out of sync. Sometimes skipping ms's of audio. This seems to happen at about a 2-4 second rate. I believe that I have things setup to use the RTC as a timing device (see below) but that did not seem to change the problem. It may have made it better but not much. What are my choices? HW card?, Upgrade Asterisk?, ????

Tzafrir, I have neither of those commands available here. Did a search to see if they were somewhere else but nothing. Using SUSE 10.2. In /proc I only have apci directory.
