Hello Quick update... I think my problem is fixed. As Jorge was suggesting, the echo canceller needs to be activated through the echocan command. I was under the wrong impression that the HW EC was starting automatically, and did not need any activation command. Sound quality is may be not as good as without, somehow a bit mettallic, but I am not sure if it is just an impression or what ! Thanks for your help Regards, J.
