Hi,

I get a no common codec error when I try to make a phone call, using my phonzo.com account. Phonzo supports G711 a-law or G729, according to their configuration help page: http://www.phonzo.no/privat/utstyr/eget_utstyr/

I have enabled PCMA, PCMU and Speex (wide band) in the Ekiga Preferences-Audio-Codecs dialog.

The Ekiga -d 4 output is attached.

Does anyone know what might cause the error?

The Ekiga version is 3.2.7.

Hi,

I assume you are using Ekiga at both ends (recipient is using Ekiga as well)?

What happens if you disable speex altogether and just leave PCMA enabled as the only audio codec in Ekiga?

Hi,

I am trying to call my own cell (and other landline phones) through ekiga by using the VoIP (SIP) provider phonzo.com. It did work with Ekiga 3.2.6, but not with 3.2.7. Ekiga 3.2.6 had other issues though.

Disabling all other codecs didn't help.

>From what I can reckon, Ekiga 3.2.7 doesn't recognize the G711 a-law or G729 signatures given by the phonzo.com server to be the same as the PCMU or PCMA codecs that Ekiga supports.

These are the configuration settings provided by phonzo.com :

Proxy address: sip.phonzo.com (or sip.phonzo.com:5060)
Domain/realm: sip.phonzo.com
Outbound proxy address: sip.phonzo.com
Port: 5060
Codec: G711 a-law (high bitrate - uncompressed sound)
G729 (low bitrate - compressed sound)
STUN: Phonzo does not use a STUN or ICE server
