Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2006 10:53 pm Post subject: [Asterisk-Users] Echo cancellation
I've got a slight problem with echo. Basically, most of the outgoing
phone calls on our system echo, but as far as I can tell, the incoming
echo has been relatively fixed, with just a bit of work left to do on
it. I read somewhere that asterisk doesn't echo cancel on outgoing
calls, am I wrong in that assumption, and if I am, what else can be done
when the echo training and echo cancel tapping isn't working?

Can you provide some details about the system, what version of Asterisk, what kind of phones, what kind of phone lines, etc.

We currently have about 60 cisco 7940's, which were converted from cisco
call manager to be used for asterisk. We're running 1.2.1 stable on 4
systems (primary server, backup server, gateway, and voicemail). The
phone lines come into the gateway on a digium te405p. The problem we're
having is that the 7940's are echoing on outgoing calls, and I'm not
sure what else to try (I did just recompile zaptel with a different echo
canceler to see if it would help), but I seem to remember asterisk
doesn't do echo cancellation on outgoing calls. I researched a bit on
qos and latency, but there's maybe a 10ms latency between the phone and
the outgoing line, so I ruled that out pretty quick. Any help is
greatly appreciated.

Asterisk performs echo cancellation for all incoming and outgoing calls through the T1/PRI card. However, there are some things that can still cause echo's. We had a similar situation a with a setup much like yours. We switched to the MG2 echo canceller which helped quite a bit. But finally, after testing everything else we possibly could, swapping out PRI cards, changing every concevable setting related to echo, and having the phone company out about a dozen times to check the PRI, we ended up switching companies from Telepacific to Sprint and the echo problem, according to the users, completely went away.
However, a couple things you may want to look at is the audio gain settings in your zapata.conf and make sure they're not set too high, maybe even try dropping them down a bit. And try the MG2 echo canceller if you haven't already, it seems to provide the best results on PRI's, at least as far as our testing has gone.
