I personally think for a codec that's almost 1/3 the size of ULaw, the quality is great. I consider ULaw above telephone quality, and g729 to be at telephone quality.
But just 5 minutes ago I moved a user over to g729a. Changed the SIP000xxxx.cnf file for the Cisco phone, but forgot to change the dtmfmode in sip.conf from inband to rfc2833 and Asterisk wigged out with 300,000 messages about dtmf and such. Once I fixed that, he said the quality was horrible. He could definitely hear the difference and hated it. Although I could hear him fine, sounded good enough to me. Not sure what that was about. I guess mileage will vary. Have you looked into that open-source implementation of G729? There was something on the WIKI about 3 different implementations of it. One being where you paid license per channel fees, one that was free/open source, and another I can't remember. Check the WIKI. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 10:48 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] test-driving G.729? hi all we're setting up a rather large end-user VoIP system, and due to pressure from norwegian telephony authorities, we consider choosing something instead of G.711A, possibly G.729. does anyone know if it is possible to test-drive G.729 without paying Digium for it? roy _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
