[asterisk-users] G729a codecs + Asterisk 1.4.11

[bilal ghayyad]

Dear All;

The codec problem resolved, I used the correct codec
should be codec_g729a_v32_pentium4m.tar.gz as the
output of the command cat /proc/cpuinfo giving:

Pentium(R) 4 CPU and my confusion was that I cared for
the output of the command core show version which
gives: 

Asterisk SVN-branch-1.4-r72556 built by root @
localhost.localdomain on a i686 running Linux on
2007-06-30 13:08:08 UTC

Actually when I used codec_g729a_v32_i686.tar.gz it
did not work, but when I used
codec_g729a_v32_pentium4m.tar.gz, it worked fine.

But, I am not able to use the command show g729, it
gives me that command not existed, is it because of my
version of asterisk which is 1.4-r72556? I do not
know.

Anyway, I started thinking to do update for my
version, but I am afraid about my configuration files.

Regards
Bilal

Dear Marc;

Thanks a lot for your kindly help.

My output of the command cat /proc/cpuinfo is:

[root at localhost /]# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15

bogomips        : 6787.39
clflush size    : 64


So what means I have to download
codec_g729a_v32_pentium4m.tar.gz ?

But the output of the command (from Asterisk CLI):

CLI> core show version is:

Asterisk SVN-branch-1.4-r72556 built by root @
localhost.localdomain on a i686 running Linux on
2007-06-30 13:08:08 UTC

I tried this codec: codec_g729a_v32_i686.tar.gz but
when I type show modules like 72 then it gives me the
following (that doesnot contain g729.a):

localhost*CLI> show modules like 72
Module                         Description

4 modules loaded

So can u advise?
