When calling phones the person I'm calling says I'm "beeping in and out" and I hear an echo and the sound quality is bad.

Everything works perfectly in Skype on the same machine.

In the advanced settings there are a ton of codecs and I don't understand any of them or how to use them.

 

Hi Ted,

For the sound issue, the first thing I'd suggest is simply making a call to the Ekiga.net echo test service, and see what the sound quality is like there (e.g. does it echo or cut in/out etc.).

For the audio codecs, I find it easiest to enable PCMU, PCMA,and Speex only for starters.

Cheers,

Dave
