We're using Asterisk 1.6.1. When our SIP clients have silence
suppression turned on, it's a problem for many apps. Is there a
workaround for this in Asterisk? Other than turning silence
suppression off in the SIP client, is there anything I can do on the
Asterisk side to make things work again?
Basically, Asterisk will often not send any audio to the client, until
it receives an audio packet from the client, which is not going to
happen when the client itself is silent (and when it has silence
suppression enabled).
I know this is an old problem for Asterisk, but I would be surprised
to learn that after so long, it's still unresolved.
Thank you,
Bryan
