Description:I am trying to install Asterisk-v.1.4.13 with codec g723 and g729 . I have downloaded codec g723/g729 from http://asterisk.hosting.lv/ for test .

g729 is running like charm but facing problem with g723 . With g723 codec Caller side getting metalic/choppy sound where Callee can hear clear.

Here is below of my scenario :
======================
SoftPhone[g723]-> SIP-Asterisk-H323 -> Quintum DX [g723] <=Metalic Sound
SoftPhone[g723]-> H323-Asterisk-H323 -> Quintum DX [g723]<=Metalic Sound

h323.conf
=======
disallow=all
allow=g723.1
allow=g729

*CLI> show channel H323/xx.xx.xx.xx:1720-1
 NativeFormats: 0x1 (g723)
   WriteFormat: 0x1 (g723)
    ReadFormat: 0x1 (g723)
WriteTranscode: No
 ReadTranscode: No

Result : Getting metalic/choppy sound with the above config but without transcoding .


If I disable the codec part at the "h323.conf" then getting clear voice
but then it is transcoding and Consuming more CPU power.

h323.conf
=======
;disallow=all
;allow=g723.1
;allow=g729

*CLI> show channel H323/xx.xx.xx.xx:1720-2
 NativeFormats: 0x1 (g723)
   WriteFormat: 0x40 (slin)
    ReadFormat: 0x40 (slin)
WriteTranscode: Yes
 ReadTranscode: Yes

But for Scenario [Full SIP Path]:
=================================
SoftPhone [g723] -> SIP-Asterisk-SIP -> QuintumGW [g723] <= No problem

There is no problem with clear voice.


****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

Note : There is no problem with Codec g729 and Asterisk-v.1.2.24 with all the above scenario . It seems some problem with the Asterisk-v.1.4.x H323-Channel-driver with Codec_g723.

We don't support outside codecs.
