[Freeswitch-users] centos 5.4 timer issue 1000hz, choppy voice at times

[Wasim Baig]

I know its been discussed previously on list, but has there been any
progress to the timer issue on centos 5.4 32 bit

Linux pum2 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 03:33:56 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux

[root at pum2 ~]# grep 1000 /boot/config-2.6.18-164.el5
CONFIG_HZ_1000=y
CONFIG_HZ=1000

i used a basic timer testing utility to confirm what we're actually getting

[root at pum2 ~]# ./timerchk
kernel timer interrupt frequency is approx. 1002 Hz

however, fs complains ...

Do you have your kernel timer frequency set to lower than 1,000Hz? You may
experience audio problems.

any recommendations, other than drop to 5.3? which is not doable as the box
is a 5k km away ...
