Are you sure they advised you to disable MMX in your hardware? I'm asking because you can *enable* MMX support in the asterisk Makefile but it is off by default. Did you perhaps have MMX support enabled in the asterisk Makefile? If so then try to disable it, recompile and test again. Frequently audio breakups can be caused by interrupt sharing, crappy motherboards and sheer voodoo. Check that your card has it's own interrupt and is definitely not sharing it with other components. In order to free up interrupts, disable as many things as possible in the BIOS like the parallel port, serial ports, USB ports, floppy, unused IDE ports etc. And if you have one of those clone X100P cards you're on your own. In my experience they suck. Regards, Patrick -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
