G.729

Attention

G.729 codec is offered by default for outgoing external calls. If you don’t install it using following instructions, it must be removed from pjsip.conf configuration file. Otherwise, application servers will be offering a not available codec.

Important

In some countries, you might have to pay royalty fees in order to use G.729 codec to their patent holders. We’re not legal advisers regarding active or withdrawn world patents.

You can use G.729 with IvozProvider, but installation must be done manually. G.729 codec is optimized for each CPU type and version of asterisk, so each installation may require a different codec module.

You can download codec from here under the section Asterisk 13.

Once downloaded, move the .so file to /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/ and rename it to codec_g729.so

You can check the codec is valid by loading the module in asterisk and printing the available codec translations using:

asterisk -rx 'module load codec_g729.so'
asterisk -rx 'core show translation' | grep 729
