Posted: Fri Apr 07, 2006 3:23 pm Post subject: [Asterisk-Users] Beeps and noises during calls
I have a very annoying problem that we hear on our end, but the other
party doesn't hear. There are random beeps and echo type noises that
occur. They are present during voicemails, and present on my end during
calls. Is anyone experiencing the same deal? I have asked this a
number of ways on the list, and never get a response...
Thank you.

We had a similar problem. Try turning relaxed DTMF off.

Some more info:
TALKOFF is the wrong recognition of DTMF component in human voice as
true DTMF signal. This is an unavoidable factor since human voice always
contain valid DTMF combination. Fortunately, presence of these valid
DTMF components are unsteady. Unlike real DTMF generated from a
touch-tone keyboard, these 'human' DTMF cannot maintain on a constant
combination. So they can be isolated by DELAY discrimination. If a
decoded DTMF signal can stay on constantly for certain duration which
exceed those normal period experienced in human voice, then it can be
identified as a real DTMF command.

The beeps are not DTMF tones (at least they don't sound like it). It
sounds more like the system is trying to compensate for something or
adjusting something. There is a beep, sometimes several, or maybe one
or 2 in a row, and it can be faint, or loud, or whatever, but is always
the same pitch and tone. Sometimes it is accompanied with loud talkback
to the earpiece. I'm going nuts, and cannot in good conscience,
install or recommend this to anyone till I can resolve this. It has
happened with 2 separate installs of *, with different hardware,
different packages installed (one is * 1.2.4 with freepbx, the other was
* 1.0 with nothing), and different digium hardware. The only thing that
was the same is the Polycom phones, and SBC as a provider for the POTS
lines...
HELP!!!!!
Thanks

You don't need shared interrupts to get this. I had issues with a Sangoma
A101u and Sangoma S518 in the same box (cheapass Dell P3) -- they were not
sharing interrupts but the T1 would have all kinds of glitches JUST like you
describe. Put a Digium T100P in place of the A101u and it worked great.
(Sounds counter to the typical threads here, but it's the truth, I swear.)
Again, these two cards were NOT sharing interrupts with each other or any
other devices on the system.

First, you could use a softphone like sjphone or X-Lite.
If the problem is still there, pull any card from your server and try from
internal (sip) extension to another internal extension. Also have a closer
look on your nic.
only some ideas to isolate the problem...
hope it helps a little

Sounds like it might be the pci bus.. I have a single tdm400 card and
it isn't sharing an irq with other devices. So that leaves the pci bus.
Weird that I would get it from 2 separate computers though and different
cards (had s100u's before). The mobo is an ASUS A7N8x-E deluxe, with
Nforce 2, Althlon xp 3200+ and gig of ram... Guess I could replace the
box with other hardware. I think I have another box here and I still
have the s100u cards, maybe I'll put together something else to see if
there is a difference...
Any other ideas would be great.
Thanks
Sean

This hit it right on the head - the tdm card was sharing irq with the
nvidia and yukon lan adapters. What a pain it was to get them off - had
to trial and error the position of my raid card and tdm card and disable
everything. I think its fine now, could not reproduce the problem
tonight. To anyone experiencing issues like this make sure you check
irq sharing. I have been dealing with this for quite some time, and
getting the tdm card on its own irq, it is now working correctly and
quietly on an ASUS mobo.
Thanks again guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
