I’m hitting roadblock after roadblock trying to install and configure SpanDSP on my system. I already installed the res_fax_digium module but from testing the faxing the quality isn’t good. It shrinks the page. After contacting the support for Schmooze’s fax pro they told me that the digium fax module has caused issues and they suggest using SpanDSP. But I am tearing my hair out trying to get SpanDSP installed.
I then tried using the instructions here http://soft-switch.org/installing-spandsp.html
Those instructions are very vague and even when following them the install didn’t perform as the instructions said it would.
Any idea what I can do to get this installed? Are there any better tutorials out there?
I am using AsteriskNOW (installed in early 2013) and I’m on Asterisk 11.14 and FreePBX 12.0.11 but I don’t have SpanDSP. When I remove the res_fax_digium.so module I had installed I still get the following error in the fax section of my extension set-up
ERROR: No FAX modules detected!
Fax-related dialplan will NOT be generated.
This module requires Fax for Asterisk (res_fax_digium.so) or spandsp based app_fax (res_fax_spandsp.so) to function.
Do I need to do something to update my AsteriskNOW install with SpanDSP?
So, after researching some of this, as well as for some other reasons, I’m thinking about doing a clean install on a new system using FreePBX Distro. If I do that, will I need to reconfigure the entire system again? Or could I export my current FreePBX settings and install on the new distro? What about my commercial modules (fax pro and conference pro) will I be able to move them? Does the distro come complete with SpanDSP for faxing?
