Re: Clicks in audio

Hi, thanks for replying.

1. I have opened the files in audacity. When I play it on my computer I can't hear anything like the popping sound. Visually I'm not really sure what to look for. I mean I can't see a some that looks like it would account for such a loud pop.
2. Not all prompts have the issue, so it's definitely particular to certain files, however I'm not sure what it is about those files that's triggering it.
3. I'm skeptical of dropped packets since the same issue happens when I'm running everything on my laptop (the fastagi app, asterisk, and the sip phone)

I attached public links to the files (the second link is the source audio files). Maybe someone that knows a bit more about audio files can look at them?

Depending on the format you should be able to open the audio files in another program (like Audacity [1]) and verify if there are anomalies in the audio itself.

Other than that you could also try using an audio file that is known to not have issues. Try using one of the installed sound files found in Asterisk to see if those have similar symptoms.

Sometimes clicks and pops could be due to dropped packets. Try getting a pcap and see if any packets are being dropped between Asterisk and the phone.

Hi, I have an IVR that uses FastAGI, currently running on asterisk 13 (via the cleardevice/docker-cert-asterisk13-ubuntu docker image).

The problem: In between playing audio files there is an audible click. I'm not sure if somehow the audio files themselves contain clicks and for some reason I don't notice when playing them without asterisk but over the phone they're magnified, if it's a codec issue, if I'm doing something the wrong way, or what. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here is an illustration of what I mean, generated using a call recording app on my phone: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2SmgnDyV1aETDZrdnJBTU82RGc

Here are the files from the server that it uses: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2SmgnDyV1aEWGNJYy13OGZMTUU

I'm not sure why I have both .wav and .sln files.

Here is some information from the asterisk CLI:
