Hi, I have a requirement for setting a default codec for a confbridge session. e.g. when i make a call using “ulaw”, the moment i transfer that call in the conference, it will switch to g729 codec. I searched but wasn’t able to find any option for setting codec in confbridge app… Can someone help …

There isn’t really a way to accomplish what you want to do. The formats that a channel can use and what is in use on a channel are negotiated during the call setup, and typically aren’t re-negotiated unless the endpoint chooses to do so. Applications - such as ConfBridge - don’t typically attempt to…

Thanks for your reply, I feared this but you mentioned that codecs aren’t re-negotiated unless endpoint chooses so how endpoint chooses to do so and how we can mimic/hack it and force it manually?

Well, if you do decide to go with PJSIP, I put together a patch that should do it here: https://gerrit.asterisk.org/#/c/3426/

Very interesting and useful this new function added to the PJSIP channel driver
