Asterisk ignoring the codec support

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hi,

I am fairly new to Asterisk and I ran into the following issue when attempting to enable G722 codec. Despite enabling G722 via Settings–>SIP Settings Asterisk, the outbound INVITE doesn’t include the G722 codec. Here is what /etc/asterisk/sip_general_additional.conf looks like:

... alwaysauthreject=yes useragent=FPBX-2.10.1(1.8.22.0) disallow=all allow=g722 allow=ulaw allow=alaw allow=gsm ...

Here is a snippet of the sip debug trace:

Phone call is placed from the phone and as witnessed by Asterisk

<--- SIP read from UDP:<<<phone IP addr>>> ---> INVITE sip:xxx@yyyyy.zzz;user=phone SIP/2.0 … m=audio 53936 RTP/AVP 9 0 8 3 97 98 99 100 106 107 108 109 18 101 a=rtpmap:9 G722/8000 a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000 a=rtpmap:8 PCMA/8000 …

Asterisk turns around and forwards the call setup to the next hop

Reliably Transmitting (NAT) to ...<<<SIP server>>> INVITE xxx@yyyyy.zzz SIP/2.0 … m=audio 11938 RTP/AVP 0 3 101 a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000 a=rtpmap:3 GSM/8000 …

Besides not include G722 codec, I also notice that the ;user=phone

Lastly, here are some relevant environment info:

PIAF Installed Version = 2.0.6.4 under *HARDWARE* │ │ FreePBX Version = 2.10.1.16 │ │ Running Asterisk Version = 1.8.22.0 │ │ Asterisk Source Version = 1.8.22.0

Any help to fix this issue will be much appreciated. I am looking forward to ramp up my knowledge of asterisk and contribute to the forum.

thanks,

You need to see what codecs are explicitly allowed for the outbound peer.

You are right. I had to explicitly “allow=g722” in the outbound route definition in order for it to be included in the outbound session setup request.

Any ideas on how to keep the “;user=phone” from falling off?

thanks.

Try:
usereqphone=yes

I tried your suggestion it works.

Thanks a ton.

I have been searching about this option ;usereqphone = no

; If yes, “;user=phone” is added to uri that contains ; a valid phone number

Im just curious, if can you malcolm explain a little bit deeper about this option please ?

Howdy,

It first came from:
issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-2214

which said it was added in order to make Broadworks happy.

That’s the best I’ve got, it’s an old, old option :smiley:
