The "FaxDetectionMethod" parameter only applies to inbound calls (a call coming into the phone number for the service provider configured on the OBi), not outbound calls.
...
So: that setting had nothing to do with your issue.
Bear in mind that bluemusestudio describes the problem thusly: He can call his father's number with any other phone other than the OBi device, even Google Voice from a browser, and he doesn't get the "static". Only calling with the OBi does this happen.
Presumably, whatever fax machine, service, etc. is online at his father's house is also there for the non-OBi calls.
So, what is it PARTICULAR to the OBi that is triggering this?
My guess was there was some fax handshake being passed/acknowledged by the OBi, appropriately or otherwise. It's interesting that he reports success after disabling it.
Some fax machines (and I've had a few) allow you to set a document to be remotely requested by another fax machine. (Thereby turning an outgoing call into an incoming fax call.) It's an obscure setting that I've never seen anyone use. Maybe his father recently managed to press the wrong button, so to speak, and it's confusing the OBi. Beats me. But the problem was only happening with the OBi in the loop. Which means, changing that setting may well have disabled whatever was causing the problem. And, as long as he doesn't have a fax machine of his own, leaving it disabled won't hurt anything.
You really are disrupting this forum with completely bullshit answers. You can't just find some setting and guess how it works. You can't make any conclusion whatsoever from this discussion that changing that setting solved the problem. It was a coincidence. Go away.

You still haven't answered the question. What is it PARTICULAR to the OBi that was causing the problem?
Your answer to him to unplug the fax machine at his father's house, and turn off the answering machine didn't make any sense when calls from other phones, devices, and even Google Voice without the OBi, didn't experience the problem.
SteveInWA:
I am so tired of having to explain and correct everything you post. If you still don't understand this, it is just more evidence of how unqualified you are to be here answering questions.
A_Friend:
Well, you clearly haven't explained this.
Why did his OBi device have static when calling his father, but no other phone or device did?
azrobert:
bluemusestudio,
You can settle this dispute very easily by enabling FaxDetectionMethod and reporting back. Does the problem return?
Thanks
