Crappy Sound Playback

Hi Guys

Just got trixbox up and running in a vmware machine and it works flawlessly... Almost.

Any audio that is played back by asterisk is really sloppy and slow. What can I do to stop this?

I have set the processes priority (of vmware) to high and even realtime without any results.

Any Suggestions?

Cheers
Chris

I faced the same problem,

I faced the same problem, the following solved it:
- Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and change the kernel line to the following code:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 acpi=off noapic nosmp nolapic clock=pit
- To be in the safe side ... just add the noapic nosmp nolapic clock=pit after the acpi=off and keep what ever is there before ACPI=OFF
- Then reboot your vmware, and you'll be more than happy.

It would have been nice...

I tried adding those parameter in grub, but I had no result. Sounds like echo test or voicemail are slow, choppiny and clipping; I just can't find a solution

Then you may not have enough

Then you may not have enough ram allocted to the VMWare session or you dont have enough CPU resources on the host machine.

finally i got it

I just found the solution to the choppy-crappy sound problem.

I'm running trixbox on VMWare too, i gave it 1GB RAM to the virtual server, and it didn't work, i added the options to the grub.conf: acpi=off noapic nosmp nolapic clock=pit, and it didn't work, i moved the ulaw sound files to a backup folder and it didn't work...

Finally i downloaded from http://dev.centos.org/~tru/kernel-vm/5/RPMS/i386/
the kernel-vm-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5.i686.rpm and kernel-vm-devel-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5.i686.rpm files. I hit: rpm -ivh kernel-vm*.rpm, and then reboot. Then i chose on the start the new kernel installed and that was all.

Setting this as default

Hi !

Is there a way i can make this kernel the default
so it loads automatically when trixbox boots instead
of selecting it manually? "Remote" reasons.
