I've tried adjusting the txgain in chan_dahdi.conf and it doesn't

You could try a Zycoo ZX20-A202. Which is an ARM based Asterisk box with
two FXO ports built in. (Around £140).

They all use the same modules - or the same reference design for the
analog side of things. The issue here is that the incoming line is long,
so the voice volume is low - the hardware can amplify it a bit, but not
by much.


I seem to remember back in the days if dialup that you could call BT and they would increase the gain on the line, I wonder if this could be worth a try?


How long an extension cable? Might be better to run CW1308, even CAT5, t
a secondary socket. Keeping the flex to under 2m.

A few meters of bell wire won't make any difference to a few miles of
copper already there, as far as the audio is concerned.

I've been there many times. Sometimes I can tweak the gains and make it
better, sometimes not. If the internet line is stable (on another copper
pair) then I just port the numbers into my platform and be done with it.

Try swapping the modules over on the TDM card, or I have a box of spares
if you want to try some others. (OpenVox)


Ahh interesting, I will do. The FXS ports are currently only driving a analogue ringer box and the other was going to be used for an internal phone, so I guess swapping the FXS and FXO modules over to try wouldn't hurt.
