Hi<br>
<br>
I need some assistance in understanding the codec minefield.<br>
<br>
When a stream of audio is sent to FreeSWITCH (FS) using a particular<br>
codec, does FS just pass it on or is there some level of translation<br>
occurring?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>In some situations audio may be just passed thru, but most real life scenarios will involve some level of translation (transcoding).</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
I guess my question relates to a situation where an FXO gateway<br>
(GXW410x) uses the G723 codec and the receiing phone does not have a<br>
matching codec (the phone has G.722, G.711 a law, G.711 u law, G.726 and<br>
G.729 as options). How is this managed by the phone, FreeSWITCH and the<br>
FXO device? Should I be setting something in FS to handle this issue?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Whenever FreeSWITCH detects format mismatch between the parties it will perform transcoding (translation of one audio format to another).

I have 2 cordless Siemens C610 IP phones an I am having sound quality<br>
issues (incoming sound is soft) and I was wondering how big a part the<br>
codec plays in this equation. I have desk phones that are from the same<br>
manufacturer as the FXO gateway (Grandstream) and they have very good<br>
sound quality.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't think the codec has a role in your issue, if the audio is soft or quiet it has more to do with the gain control. If you place calls to those Siemens phones without using the gateway (ie, calling in to play a file) is the audio still low?</div>
