Not much information here. My guess is that you have directmedia=yes.

You may also try nat=yes in sip.conf

hi…

what does directmedia=yes … where should I put it?

in my sip.conf I already had:

[general]
nat=yes
externip = X.X.X.X
fromdomain = yourdomain.com
localnet = 192.168.X.0/255.255.255.0
qualify=yes

what I missed?

please help
Thanks

You should ensure that you DO NOT have directmedia=yes.

It goes in sip.conf and tells Asterisk that it should try to re-route the RTP directly between the end points.
