Re: [Asterisk-Users] RTP timing in a SIP only world (choppy MOH)

2003-11-20 Thread Philipp von Klitzing
Hi!

 It looks like RTP has a real problem with timing if it is not receiving
 RTP packets. If the outside call that is placed on hold is not generating
 any audio, the sip/fxo gateway does not send * RTP packets.
 Is this valid?

Yep, unfortunately. That's why for example in X-Lite you'll need to 
change settings to Transmit Silence=Yes. No clue how to do that on the 
GS, I don't own any of these.

[Asterisk-Users] RTP timing in a SIP only world (choppy MOH)

2003-11-19 Thread Bob Knight
I have an * setup with sip phones and sip fxo gateway.
When a sip phone places a sip/fxo call on hold, MOH is very choppy.

Is this a problem with the sip/fxo gateway or a problem with * RTP timing?
Sip phone to sip phone works fine.
I connect 2 GS and place one on hold.
The GS that is receiving MOH from * is working great because the GS
keeps sending back RTP packets.
IAX connections work fine.
I call an extension on another * box and place it on hold.
MOH over IAX/IAX2 is great.

Its known problem, Asterisk SIP channels get the timing from the
source, so if the source stops transmitting (i.e. VAD) the MoH gets
choppy. Try disabling VAD on your Media Gateway.
When VAD is active it is usually signaled by an specific RTP payload
type, maybe the SIP channel should check that an  starts using a local
clock.

Juan, thank you very much.
Turning off VAD did it.
All is well.
