Hello,

what could be causing the issue of poor sound quality ? Some calls, certainly not all of them, sound like if the caller is standing next to a very busy road with lots of cars passing.

To be clear : the person calling is not standing next to a highway.

But there seems to be a noise "on the line" of busy highroad that makes that the caller can not be understood.

What can be causing this kind of "poor quality" ?

Is it lack of resources on the Asterisk-server (codec translation ?) Is it lack of bandwith ? Is it a problem of CentOS (the underlying OS) ? Is it a physical problem of the server components (network interface ?) ?



Kind regards,
Jonas.

Did you have a look at the codecs that are involved?

There are about 40 à 45 simultaneous calls (using G711a).

If yes, or if one endpoint is always a SIP-device then you could issue a

sip show channelstats

in the cli. This is not exact, but it shows if you have any network or
timing problems.

I could say more about network problems, but first let's see what
channelstats says.

A lot of packetloss for theese calls. I would do packetdumps with
tcpdump and then analyze it with wireshark. I use voipmonitor to do this
(it gives you a pcap for each call), but tcpdump works fine also.

This could be a congested link, a broken media gateway, or anything.

I have already used tcpdump and analyzed the calls with wireshark. When I listen to the call, I clearly hear the "highroad" sound (always on the upload side).

What else can wireshark tell me ? How can wireshark further tell me about the cause of this poor sound quality ?



Kind regards,

Jonas.

I frequently use Audacity to analyze the audio data. In many cases I can see from the spectra
(and other graphical representations) with what kind of problem I am dealing. Meanwhile, for
most of my problems I no longer depend on an audio editor. I don't know whether this is helpful
in your case.

Here is some suggestions to get started:
http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/unified_communications/troubleshooting-common-sip-problems-with-wireshark.html

Maybe one of your connections get congested? For example, if the two
endpoints is your phone and the upstreams teleco. If the side from the
teleco are bad and not the phone you need to take a closer look at the
switches and routers on the way to the teleco. For example you can run
tcpdump on your gateway to your ISP.

If you see the problem here as well it may be your link or a upstreams
problem. If you don't see it here it is somewhere in between..

Good luck!
