<http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0003346>  should
address this issue, but there is not yet a patch with the implementation
that was decided upon yet.

Subject: [Asterisk-Dev] Codec not negotiating



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!
