[Asterisk-Users] clicking and popping with capi, okay with mISDN

2006-05-31 Thread James Harper
I have a hfc-usb adapter connected to a Samsung PBX, and am having a bit of trouble. With capi, using 'immediate' mode, I can get the dialplan working just fine, except that there is some sort of interference in the audio, and I'm not quite sure how to describe it except that it's sort of like

Just noticed that the poor audio quality only occurs when the call goes out via SIP. If I go straight to voice mail or something it's fine. Does that ring any bells? Thanks James -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James
