dahdi_test 70%?

Hi There!

I recently go my hands on an Atcom AXE800P FXO/FXS card.
It proved to be almost unusable. The card is alone in one system,
the rest of the extensions are SIP phones.

I get around 70-80% dahdi_test on it.

I use 2 double FXO ports on the card. It is working, but sound screeching makes the calls unhearable. It is like some ond fashioned dialaup modem would sound…

The system is quite modern, and I tried an OpenVox GSM card in it, that worked flawlessly.

I am trying to debug…

It has a singel IRQ, at 16, with the ax1600p driver.

Is the card bad hardware-ly?

Or is this a software error?

Try a Digium card.

Hi!

It turns out the brand new i3 motherboard was at fault. I plugged the card into a good old E5520 xeon system and it works flashy well. I get results between 100% and 99,99% now.

Strange though that the i3 system works perfectly for anything else…
I guess these precise timings with DAHDI require server class hw.
