Choppy Sound

[darryla]

I'm setting up a new system and am having some problems with choppy sound. Here's a test case.

I have a VoiP lin setup with InPhonex in 3CX.

I have a softphone on a laptop.

My 3CX server is setup at a data center.

I'm sitting in my office with my laptop far away from my data center.

The softphone registers. Then, I dial my landline. Then, I pick up the land line and then put the call on hold from my softphone. The music plays. But it's choppy. Very, very, very, choppy.

Here's the call log:

1) Could be network jitter, in which case there is not much you can do since your ISP is simply bad at sustaining packets. You could try applying QoS through your router(s) if it supports such a thing.

2) Try using the softphone on a different computer, or change the softphone.

Many laptops have poor sound processing capability, and i have seen countless ocassions where softphones have bad sound, yet you move to a real PC and the same soft brand phone works.
