similar to: Unable to open pseudo channel for timing... Sound may be choppy.

Hi all, I've gotten asterisk installed on Debian only to realize that the packaged version is 1.0.7. Is there a reason why they're not up to a 1.2.x release? I'm building a system for production and I'm wondering if I should remain at this old version or if there are any serious issues with 1.2.13 on Debian? Should I be able to do an apt-get from unstable and get 1.2.13 and

1.) I'm getting messages in my log: Unable to open pseudo channel for timing... Sound may be choppy.

Though, I can ping both providers just fine. When I reboot the firewall, the

Hello, I just sent it with a wrong title... so once again: I just compiled and started Asterisk 1.0.2 following "Getting Started With Asterisk Version 0.1a" from http://www.automated.it/guidetoasterisk.htm I made only one change to default config files - I changed from using oss to alsa. I don't have any devices so far. I started asterisk from the command line: # asterisk -vc

Does there seem to be a popular Linux distro folks use specifically for Asterisk? I'd like to move off of FreeBSD but I'm not too familiar with Linux distros. In particular, I'm looking for a free, stable, well supported distro that has a friendly community. Any advice appreciated. Sorry for asking a question that I'm sure has been asked thousands of times. Best regards,

Hey all, I've been doing a lot of playing, and a lot of reading, and it seems people are split as to whereas if they're running their favorite Linux distro and asterisk or Trixbox. I'm getting closer to really looking at a production environment and I'm just looking for any opinions. I'm really enjoying learning linux and asterisk, so initial "ease of use"

I've gotten this Polycom 501 pretty much licked, but I need to know if there's a way in a dialplan to say if someone dials their own extension it goes straight to voicemail and asks them for their password. I thought I saw an example of this on the web but I can't seem to find it. Any advice appreciated! Phil -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Hello, I have an asterisk 1.2.18 working fine, the only problem is that all applications that play audio, sound like "tremolo" or "vibrato", but musiconhold plays fine. The same audio file (wav, mp3, ...) works fine with Musiconhold() but not with Playback() or Background()... If I move app_playback.so from this system to another asterisk, playback works fine... Do you

I am experiencing choppy sound when I bridge from a SIP peer to an IAX peer. I am running Asterisk 1.4.13 on a 2.6.22.9 kernel (Fedora). I am experiencing choppy sound from the SIP peer to the IAX peer but not vice-versa. I know that this is not a bandwidth issue because I don't have choppy sound (with the same codec) when bridging IAX->IAX peers or SIP->SIP peers. My timing source is

Hello, everyone I'm relatively new to Asterisk (and VOIP in general), but I have a project that it will really help with. So, I setup a test system on an ancient 400MHz P3 we had lying around. It worked great. I had a test dialplan working, and had no trouble connecting to it with SIP using 3CX SoftPhone over our LAN (and over the Net through our NAT). So, we went ahead and bought a

Hi all, I've got Asterisk 1.2.10 up and running on Debian using the back ports. I noticed that it didn't come with mpg123 or depend on it and I believe I read somewhere that asterisk now handles it's own mp3 playback? Is this true? If so I must have a problem, because I hear no music when putting someone on hold. When looking at the console when putting someone on hold, I see

Hi all, Can someone point me in the right direction here. What I'd like to do with Asterisk is a) dial a 3 digit extention (i.e. 100) on my polycom phones and after the 3rd digit is entered, it dials that extension and b) dial 9 to get out like older PBX systems. Since my internal extensions start with a 1 I think what happens is I enter extension 100 for example, and the phone sits

Greetings, Currently my asterisk box is using Voicepulse. It works fine with the exception that people need to enter the 1+area code for local calls. I'd like to get around this if possible. The following is what I have in my extensions.conf.. exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=6162997590) exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Dial(IAX2/${VOICEPULSE_GATEWAY_OUT_A}/${EXTEN}) exten

Hi, using asterisk 1.2.5 with mysql in a centos 4.2 (2.6 kernel) no hardware interfaces installed gives me this error.

I have had no success in getting the voicemail working on Asterisk 1.2.11 on CENTOS4(2.6 kernel) guest on vmware server 1.0.1. I tried with or without ztdummy device, renice -20 on asterisk process and even real-time priority on the host Windows XP box for the vmware process. I am running on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+. The behaviour is when the voicemail answer, the voice sound ok but when

I've setup a trial Asterisk install based on the RH8 install guide mentioned on this list. (Thanks, Andy!) I've configured two other working systems with SJPhone software for SIP. However, while I can call the phones, the communication is choppy. About every three or four seconds it cuts out briefly and then returns to normal. Perhaps someone can give me some pointers. My setups are

Hello, I created this setup, DSL------LINUX ROUTER-------ASTERISK Linux acts as router and forwards packets only 512M and AMD 1599.987 MHz Asterisk 512M AMD 2000 MHz When I ssh to linux router during the call and execute any command that requires cpu , then sound gets choppy. Simple test would be establish a call and start "du /" on the router. The same applies to asterisk box.

Hi, I've found that neither Michael Manousos patch nor ztdummy driver do not fix musiconhold sound interruption problem up to acceptable quality level. Sound is choppy here anyway. It is my understanding (please correct me if I'm wrong) that if I have a Digium card in my asterisk machine, these problems should be gone 'cause those cards provide some reliable timing. So I have no

I am interested to learn if I need to have ztdummy installed if I do not have any zaptel hardware in my machine? I have found a lot of references with RTP problems which were related to RTP timing (or lack of it). My problem is that voice coming from SIP hardware is OK, but voice going from asterisk to SIP hardware is choppy, full of noise or completely cut-off. Am I going to solve my problem

Andrew, Please find links below to sound clips from different combination. You will see that the 2.6.9.34 kernel on trixbox 2beta still does not sound ok. What did you do on the trixbox 1.2.2 vmware load to make it work better? I say better because it is still not perfect as you will notice that it accelerates near the end. I really appreciate your help and the great work you are doing. Also,

after recompilling asterisk (trunk-r75109) after system (mandriva cooker) update (new glibc 2.6, gcc 4.2.1), sound starts very choppy, when codec translation is performed, if translation isn't needed, it sounds OK any idea? until update, everything worked fine. I'm using ztdummy as clock source. during compile, I got lot of errors... ael_main.c: In function ?ast_context_add_ignorepat2?:
