I believe you already have gotten an answer about this from Tony. As stated in an earlier reply from him:

"As I already explained.  When timer-name set to none, it does blocking reads on the audio vs timed ones.  If the other end has a skew in clock freq with the FS then it will timeout erroneously.  Having blocking reads ensures you only read audio when there is actually some there.  Basically this timer-name set to none makes FS behave just like asterisk does by default.

Keep in mind we do not support virtual servers beyond friendly advice because it quickly turns into time-consuming project to help people configure their virtual envs.

The basic idea is, unless you are using the high yield cpu version of ec2, you can have timing issues at any time because the EC2 will steal the cpu at will.

You should probably get some pcaps and look at the deltas and timestamps on each side of the call."

It is running on Amazon EC2.

If soft timer is causing issues, you probably have timing issues in your platform. Are you running on a VM, or is this a real machine?

Changing clock to soft is causing call latency issues. Is there any other way? It works well with Asterisk with no timer.

Well, playback without a timer won't work for you, so stick to the soft timer.

It is stored locally. 
It works fine with "soft" timer (using this we had call latency issues), but have this issue when I use "none" as rtp-timer-name.

Is the welcome message stored locally or is it somewhere on NAS?

Hi,

We are facing issues with the bad audio quality (audio is sounding like its recorded underwater) only for the playback application. There is no issue with the audio call quality (after bridging). 

Audio file used with playback application is recorded at 8khz with 16 bits/sample and 1 channel. 

Following is the pseudo dialplan:
1. Call comes on freeswitch server.
2. Call answered.
3. Query database to identify destination
4. Play a welcome message audio (using playback application)
5. Start call recording
6. Bridge the call

In step 4, we are facing this issue.
