[asterisk-users] Asterisk not transcoding between installed codecs

Do you have canreinvite=no in the sip client configuration?  If not then 
the two sip phones are probably issuing a reinvite command and taking 
asterisk out of the call path.  If that happens and the phones can't 
reach consensus on a codec then you run into audio problems.  If you're 
not a provider and just using asterisk as a PBX then it's probably 
better to set the phones up with a matching codec set and allow them to 
establish a direct connection between each other to keep load off the 
Asterisk server.  Otherwise set canreinvite=no and Asterisk should 
transcode correctly.

Good luck,
-Brent
