[asterisk-users] Quiet recordings
When I record calls they turn out really quiet. I can barely hear the person on the other end. But when making the call, I can hear the person on the other end just fine. I've played with txgain/rxgain and that doesn't seem to help. TIA for help. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [asterisk-users] Random Asterisk deaths
Asterisk 1.2.13 (newest available in Debian Etch) No VMs, nothing strange whatsoever about the setup. In the box: TE405P X100P clone AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 512 MB RAM In the logs I get a lot of zt hook failed: Device or resource busy and Avoided initial deadlock for '0xXX', 10 retries! but these happen all the time and don't increase or decrease in frequency around the time that Asterisk dies.

Plugging another T1 into the card seems to have cured it... strange. When I was getting all the red alarms, I had one cable coming into the card (channels 1-24) and two cables going out (channels 49-96), leaving one slot (channels 25-48) empty. Once I plugged another T1 into that slot, the red alarms pretty much went away. Why would that happen? ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I've fought with the telco quite a bit trying to get any useful information out of them for configuration and I think it would be helpful if I could ask questions as specific as possible. I really don't think these guys know what they're talking about. I know that the cables are fine because I've been using it for over a year plugged into a channel bank with no problems, and it's only when I'm running it through the Asterisk box that I have problems (T1s - Asterisk - Channel banks). If I unplug the Asterisk box and go straight into the channel banks again, the problem goes away. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I do an lspci and the card shows up there.
