Troubleshooting the IP Softphone 2050

When experiencing choppy or broken speech, move the Audio Quality slider toward Higher Quality.

Windows transition effects

The Windows operating system uses very high process and thread priorities when performing low-level Windows operations, such as minimizing and maximizing applications. This can cause brief breaks in the IP Softphone 2050 audio streams.

To reduce the severity of these breaks, turn off the Windows transition effects for menus and tool tips.

To turn off the Windows transition effects:

1.Select Start > Control Panel > Display.

2.Select the Effects tab, (or, in Windows XP, the Effects button on the Appearance tab).

3.Clear Use transition effects for menus and tool tips.

Other applications

Other applications running on your computer, especially CPU-intensive applications or applications that intercept or delay packets (such as firewalls), can cause broken audio.

Multiple Ethernet interfaces on a single PC can sometimes conflict with each other. For example, the IP Softphone 2050 sometimes exhibits intermittent breaks in audio when using docked notebooks that have a Xircom RealPort Cardbus Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 PC Card (PCMCIA) inserted. In the specific case of this PC card, the problem relates to a version of the Xircom driver. This driver takes CPU cycles even when it is not active and this, in turn, causes IP Softphone 2050 audio to become choppy.

Solutions for this example are:

•Upgrade your Xircom driver.

•Remove the PC card when the notebook is docked.
