Codec_opus.so status Not loaded

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hello all,

I have added codec_opus.so module in modules directory also in modules.conf I added

load codec_opus.so

Now I restart the asterisk and list the modules loaded, I get

Module                         Description                              Use Count  Status      Support Level
codec_opus.so                  OPUS Coder/Decoder                       0          Not Running      extended

Because of this not being loaded I get following errors in asterisk

[Jun 29 21:13:01] WARNING[21510][C-00000001]: channel.c:5765 set_format: Unable to find a codec translation path: (gsm) -> (opus)

I tried with
core reload
still the status is Not Running

If this is the Sangoma provided module you should install it using “make menuselect”. If you don’t, then simply copying the codec_opus.so file is insufficient. The instructions provide further detail on how to install it manually.

I followed an external blog for installation. I could not find instructions in wiki. I also added codecs.conf and included

[opus]
type=opus
fec=yes
packet_loss=30
dtx=yes
cbr=yes

And added allow = opus in pjsip.conf

can you point me to instructions wiki for the same. I could not find anything more.

If you are using the codec provided by Sangoma then there is a README[1]. There is no configuration of codecs.conf generally required, but you have to copy TWO files into the correct places otherwise codec_opus.so will fail to load.

Otherwise you go into “make menuselect”, Codecs, and choose codec_opus, and then install Asterisk. This automatically downloads and installs it.
