Just one reason that might cause this problem. Phones (softphones and hardphones) have an option called silence surpression or something like that. The idea is to stop transfering data if it is only silence.

Asterisk can’t handle this properly and the result is bad sound quality.

Any idea which option is this on EyeBeam ??

Thx

I grew a lot of grey hairs from EyeBeam. I use Zoiper and I am very happy with it. A bad node on your network can do it as well. If it is over the internet then the reason can be very obvious.
