Most likely an XLite/local sound (driver etc) related problem. I'm currently testing XLite on linux, and especially the XLite buffer parameters have quite some impact on audio quality as well as latency, in a tradeoff sense. You could try other softphones, like SJPhone, and compare. If there's a notable difference, try to tune XLite in case you want to use it, or just use the phone which works best. Look here for a extensive list of hard- and softphones http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-VOIP+Phones Also, it's always beneficial to tell us the OS you're working and having problems on (Windows, Linux, etc), since e.g. XLite on linux is still beta.
