I upgraded to dev snapshot (still on Xen) - still had audio issues.

I got rid of xen server and installed centos 5.5 and freeswitch only - timer frequency warning disappeared - still felt audio was not what it should be. 

What I still dont understand is why when i playback my recorded voicemail messages the quality is good. 

Sometimes I even have issues leaving a message after the voicemail tone, the IVR seems to think i have ended recording the message before even starting.  The voicemail tone itself can be very high pitch at times.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Chris - can you please point me to some docs on how to improve my kernel (sorry but i am newbie to unix).

Cheers

Raf

Improve the kernel and in your situation you will most likely improve your audio. You can't expect perfect audio when the thread handling RTP is waking up later than its designated time (after sleeping for the codec timing). The switch tests for the possibility of this issue on startup when it calibrates your clock offset ... thus it warned you :)

"-nocal" will simply skip the process of recognizing and warning that your kernel timer is slow, but will not alter performance in your situation (unless I am missing something)
