[Asterisk-Dev] Codec not negotiating

[Clay Reiche]

ok... I've trying to fix this for days... I got very little response from the
Users list. I have a sip device that registers with my *. The sip device is
ONLY set up to use ulaw. My asterisk server sends ALL PSTN calls to a Sonus
gateway/softswitch. When I place a PSTN call, the sip device sends the INVITE
with SDP and the ONLY codec option is ulaw. Asterisk then turns around and
sends an INVITE with SDP to the Sonus gateway with ulaw as the first option
and g729 as a second option. The Sonus sees the TWO options and ALWAYS
chooses g729. The codec negotiation fails and the call never completes.

 

I understand that the TWO options are sent because I have no peer set up for
the Sonus in my sip.conf and it defaults to the [general] codec settings
which are ulaw and g729. However, MOST of my calls to the Sonus ARE using
g729, only a few need to use ulaw. (for faxing) So I can't restrict the Sonus
peer to only ulaw...

 

Here is my question:(finally...sorry:))
Can I force asterisk to send ONLY my prefered codec?(the first one in the
INVITE) or is this only fixed by pleading with the people who run the Sonus
sofswitch to stop ignoring my preferred codec? or is there some other
solution? Any suggestions would be very appreciated!
