We appear to be having a problem with our asterisk setup. We have a cisco AS5300 with pri lines coming in and passing the calls onto asterisk then too the sip phones. the phone call from the sip phones (7960's) appears to be ok nice and clear including the user who has called in. but if your the user who has called in its all crackley sounds really bad when they speak. i believe this problem is a codec problem as far as i can see we use ulaw across the board, the 5300 currently supports 12 different codecs however asterisk only like too work with ulaw or alaw it tends to not except the call if the other codecs are used. clear-channel Clear Channel 64000 bps g711alaw G.711 A Law 64000 bps g711ulaw G.711 u Law 64000 bps g723ar53 G.723.1 ANNEX-A 5300 bps g723ar63 G.723.1 ANNEX-A 6300 bps g723r53 G.723.1 5300 bps g723r63 G.723.1 6300 bps g726r16 G.726 16000 bps g726r24 G.726 24000 bps g726r32 G.726 32000 bps g728 G.728 16000 bps g729br8 G.729 ANNEX-B 8000 bps g729r8 G.729 8000 bps
