[Ekiga-list] noise only

[Jiri Barton]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with ekiga 2.0.3 and sound. The recording test in the 
Configuration Druid is fine. Then I connect to ekiga.net and call 
500 at ekiga.net - the call test. The only thing I can hear is some noise when 
the speaker is supposed to say something, possibly in the same rhythm - as if 
I heard some of high frequencies and low frequencies - as if a filter has 
been used - the timing is okay. The playback of what I say is just the same 
gibberish.

Now, skype runs fine. Even gizmo runs fine. The recording test runs fine. The 
connection is established and I could hear both the answering machine and 
me - if only the sound was not distorted.

I'm behind a DSL router (Fritz!) and using STUN or IP Translation - both with 
the same result. I'm running Kubuntu 7.04 64bit, ALSA with M-Audio 5.1 
Revolution.

The same problem occurs with KPhone and/or with another SIP provider 
(fwd.pulver.com).

What could go possibly wrong? What should I look for in the ekiga debug output 
(no clue)? Does ekiga use different sound settings for the test and the 
communication over network?

Thank you for any hint.
Jiri
