asterisk users - Feb 2004 - help a poor newbie out with SIP choppy one-way problem

Hello all,
i have a one-way choppy sound problem that i can't fix...
here are the relevant points
1. i am running 18.2.04 CVS on rhl 9.0 on a hosted server with a wide pipe 
up/down with no hardware, just SIP connections and voicepulse for outgoing 
IAX calls.
2. conecting to * with SJPhone (SIP) on a windows box that gets 1.5MB down 
and about 100K upload in speed tests (ADSL), so i'm pretty sure client 
bandwidth is not a problem either. the client can ping the server at 
180-200ms as well.  I've also tried x-lite and gotten the same issues.

sip clients register fine, and i can hear incoming audio fine, but on the 
other end it is completely garbled. It is not an IAX problem; if i leave 
voicemail from the SIP client on * and try to pick it up it is garbled, but 
the voicemail prompts are crystal clear.

there was a thread about this at the beginning of january - the only 
solution that came up was to sweep the windows box for worms - which i did, 
and i have no worms.  if anyone who had the problem then has answers, or 
anyone else, i would be most grateful.

thanks,
yair

Try to set the following in your x-lite config.
I had one-way choppy sound and this was the cure.

AdvancedSystemSetting->AudioSettings->SilenceSettings->TransmitSilence:yes

Hi,

I had the exact same problem, and it was caused by my crappy ADSL
connection. I had great download and upload speeds too, but inspecting it
closer, there was a great deal of lost packets. The problem went away when I
changed my ADSL provider.

hi,
thanks for the help but transmit silence was set already. it appears to be 
an intermittent problem which makes me think it is local network related (i 
think i have packet loss.)

thanks,
yair
