So far it seems that the major thing affecting voice quality on my * box is codec translation. How much cpu is required to translate even a single channel without getting static like sounds or other obvious translation issues? I know this probably depends on the codecs involved, but are there any general guidelines to follow? Chris

I've been trying to figure out the best combination of codecs to use. So far it seems that g729 is the low bandwidth codec most widely supported. gsm seems to be supported by providers but not by sip devices. g726 the opposite. I'm thinking it might be worth it to just pay digium to license g729 and record all our own voice prompts. Having the g729 license will enable us to record files in g729 format correct? Chris

This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. Mark Twain
