Hello,
Before I sadly give-up on Trixbox can someone recommend an FXO FXS Analogue Card that works!
I've tried Sangoma and Digium but both have been difficult (if not impossible to configure), have been unreliable, suffer from poor sound quality (loud hiss), or break when I run a yum update.
I've concluded SIP is best but I need at least one FXO connection for a PSTN line.
Thanks in advance, Rob
Hello Rob,
At the first tell us more about your setup?
I have setup several DIGIUM cards with no problems. and the con-fig is not difficult (first see at the root how it says it is installed. then go the trixbox screen to translate it to setting's (separate trunk's are trunk groups))
Often if the sound is crappy there some setting's false
We hear more off your setup.
Regards
John
Sangoma just works! Full stop.
I have one system over 4 years old now with an A200D. 6FXO and 2FXS. CentOS 4, Freepbx (2.3?), Asterisk 1.2 (?). Never locks up, never needs to be rebooted. No reboot scripts or any other hokey setups. It just works 24/7/365. Haven't updated the drivers or anything so it's running drivers and software a few years old now. Customer never complains. No echo, no noise, no wierd behaviour, nothing! They were a bit apprehensive about the project at first because of the opensource freeware linux boogeymen impression. Now they are true believers!
Administrator told me the other day the uptime indicator on the FreePBX gui said it had been running continuously something like 750days. Only reason it isn't 1500days is because they had a couple long power outages that ran out the UPS. The server came back up on its own when power was restored and just kept on chugging.
Try say these things about almost ANY other product out there. Commerical or open source. Winbloz or Linux. Hardware or software.
This was the procedure and hardware used.

To beat a dead horse I agree. If you replaced the card especially with a different brand of card than the issue resides in the lines. 90% of noise issues I have seen are wiring. If your analog cards have Echo cancellation and your lines are junk and have high impedance then the reference tones will be increasingly loud to compensate. Try running fxotune with either card and see if it helps. If you are still having issues check your wiring. Often you will find a dirty punch, grounding, split pairs (using one pairs tip and one pairs ring) and in rare cases polarity is an issue.
