Hi All- I’m a new Asterisk user in a very big bind. I have an Asterisk @ Home 1.5 server running Kernel 2.4.21-37.ELsmp that I’m having terrible echo issues with on calls originating inbound/outbound on a PRI (the PRI has been tested on other PBXs and runs clean).
Using ztmonitor as documented in the wiki, TXGain is pegging out all the way to the right. However no matter how much I tweak TXGain in zapata.conf (see below) it doesn’t seem to get any better. I’ve tried aggressive echo cancellation, etc. but nothing seems to work. SIP to SIP or SIP to IAX calls work fine though (which they should) so I know it’s got to be something with zapata.conf or echo cancellation on Asterisk in general.
The big gottcha is that we moved our corporate HQ today and this PBX is supposed to be live for 50 users right now so any help would be appriciated. Below are my zapata.conf, and zconfig.h files.
Thanks- David
