Update on this problem: I gave up on the "native" h.323 because, like others, I couldn't get audio working. (yes, I tried disabling FastStart in ast_h323.cpp - no change) So I went and got the OH323 code from www.inaccessnetworks.com. Glad to say that everything seems to work so far. Not only does audio work, but even the handshaking is now working in both OpenPhone and even NetMeeting (for the first time). Notes to others who want to try OH323: * The installation is a bit more complicated than h323. Follow the instructions in the ReadMe file exactly. * You must choose and install the proper versions of PWLib and OpenH323, as stated. * Don't forget to edit the Makefile as stated. Some load testing to following this week, but I'm encouraged! Regards Scott Scott M. Stingel President, Emerging Voice Technology, Inc. Palo Alto California & London England www.evtmedia.com
Hi, Scott. Are you telling me that this "native" h.323 has been hardcoded with fast start? Can you tell me where in ast_h323.cpp it is that you disabled this faststart? Have you tried using the Stable cvs of the Asterisk. Can you let me know which version of the OH323 are you using ? Is it the 0.6.2A? Which version of the Pwlib and OpenH323 you used, is it the newest version as stated? Did you apply the patch? I tried using this driver, but I have problem with cdr_mysql, it is not recording cdr. Please share your information, thanks alot. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com]On Behalf Of Scott Stingel Sent: Sunday, June 27, 2004 6:20 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] H.323 Audio problem UPDATE Update on this problem: I gave up on the "native" h.323 because, like others, I couldn't get audio working.

Disabling fast-start has solved the problems for quite a few other ppl using 5300s, so you must be doing something really nasty with them to still not work. Jeremy McNamara
I have (as I have mentioned before) 2 identical servers connected to to same cisco gatekeeper. Server 1 works fine with no audio problems, server 2 is using cvs head and there is no audio when connected. using same configs on both servers (RH9). Disabling faststart didn't help me. I have spent some time plugging in exstra debug statements and comparing the 2 servers. Here is one thing I find a bit strange about the the non working server and its easy to reproduce. I think that my no-working server would be working if my gatekeeper was supporting GSM which it doesn't so I cannot verify my claim here. In h323.conf: disallow all allow alaw. start '*' h.323 show codecs Allowed Codecs: Table: G.711-ALaw-64k{sw} <1> Set: 0: 0: G.711-ALaw-64k{sw} <1> which is ok afaik make 1 call (which passes no audio) h.323 show codecs Allowed Codecs: Table: (empty now.) the endPoint->GetCapabilities(); returns me an empty string now. The only codec that 'survives' is for what ever reason the gsm codec. I will continue to see if I can pinpoint this issue. (I hope that I am not of on some wild goose chase). Freddi
Sorry this has nothing to do with your audio issue, but I noticed you were able to build oh323 1.13.5 and pwlib 1.6.6 sucessfully with asterisk-oh323 0.6.2. I get the following errors when trying to compile the oh323 wrapper for asterisk: -- snippet of errors -- In file included from asteriskaudio.cxx:37: wrapper_misc.hxx:61: parse error before `{' wrapper_misc.hxx:71: parse error before `protected' In file included from asteriskaudio.cxx:38: asteriskaudio.hxx:41: parse error before `{' asteriskaudio.hxx:48: destructors must be member functions asteriskaudio.hxx:55: parse error before `protected' asteriskaudio.hxx:57: syntax error before `;' asteriskaudio.hxx:61: parse error before `}' asteriskaudio.hxx:69: parse error before `{' asteriskaudio.hxx:76: destructors must be member functions asteriskaudio.hxx:78: syntax error before `(' asteriskaudio.hxx:79: syntax error before `(' asteriskaudio.hxx:80: parse error before `&' --end snippet-- In my makefile, I have set the following settings : PWLIBDIR=/usr/src/pwlib OPENH323DIR=/usr/src/openh323 ASTERISKINCDIR=/usr/src/asterisk/include ASTERISKMODDIR=/usr/lib/asterisk/modules OH323WRAPLIBDIR=/usr/local/lib Both pwlib and openh323 build sucessfully, but when I try to build asterisk-oh323 I get those errors.
