[Asterisk-Users] Audio delays during file playback and zap channel activity
Hi - I've noticed that I'm getting audio delays when asterisk is playing back a file from disk and new zap channels are being created or destroyed. Audio streams are generally fine (person to person calls do not experience this issue). Sometimes the drops are very short - barely noticeable. Sometimes they are up to 1 second, and whatever file is being played resumes at the same spot after the drop is done (E.G. On a voicemail call, Allison says "You have five old messages. Pr [PAUSE] ess one for...."). The issue exists across all file types (gsm, wav, mp3, etc). It seems to happen on every zap channel creation/destruction, but some are so short that it just sounds like an audio anomaly rather than a delay. When there are no active zap channels, the issue does not exist. The disk controller and the Zap card do not share an interrupt (The zap card has its own interrupt - not shared with anything). We're running a version of CVS HEAD from 04/09/05 on a Dell PE 1600SC with a U320 SCSI, Raid 1 (LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI), with a TE410P connected to a PRI. Has anybody experienced anything similar? Anybody have a clue as to what's going on? Zttool does show 15 IRQ misses, but that is over the course of the past week, and after new incidents the number of misses stays the same. Thanks, Noah
