g729 codec not working

[mareconvy]

VERSION: 2.4-340c
BUILD: 111227-1940
AMD Athlon II X2 215 Processor

i installed the codec_g729-ast14-gcc4-glibc-athlon-sse.so, but eyebeam still use g711 codec.
what could be the reason?
is there an issue between the g729 codec and kernel version?

here's the os :
Linux linux-dh7q 2.6.34.10-0.6-pae #1 SMP 2011-12-13 18:27:38 +0100 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

i have another server with the same specs and configuration and is working properly with the g279 codec. but the os is not updated. here :
Linux linux-xyr2 2.6.34.8-0.2-pae #1 SMP 2011-04-06 18:11:26 +0200 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

1) Thanks for posting your version and build, but let's not forget the rest!

when you post, please post your entire configuration including (but not limited to) your installation method and vicidial version with build.

this IS a requirement for posting along with reading the stickies (at the top of each forum) and the manager's manual (available on EFLO.net, both free and paid versions)

You should also post: Asterisk version, telephony hardware (model number is helpful here), cluster information if you have one, and whether any other software is installed in the box. If your installation method is "from scratch" you must post your operating system and should also post the .iso version from which you installed your original operating system.

If this is a "Cloud" or "Virtual" server, please note the technology involved along with the version of that techology (ie: VMware Server Version 2.0.2). If it is not, merely stating the Motherboard model # and CPU would be helpful.

Similar to This:

Vicibox X.X from .iso | Vicidial X.X.X-XXX Build XXXXXX-XXXX | Asterisk X.X.X | Single Server | No Digium/Sangoma Hardware | No Extra Software After Installation | Intel DG35EC | Core2Quad Q6600

2) g729 usage depends on the settings in sip-vicidial.conf for the connected phone AND on the preferences in the phone. sip-vicidial.conf is generated based on admin->phones and of course the template in use there.

3) Whether there is a "problem with the kernel" should have been handled when installing the g729 and a call should not have even been attempted before checking:

Code: Select all

asterisk -rx "core show translation"

If the g729 line is all "-", it is NOT installed (ie: rejected or not there).

Oh, sorry 'bout that
I already figured it out.
I changed some of the phone setting in the astGUIclient.
I put g729 on the 'Allowed Codec' field.

This is the entire configuration right:
Vicibox X.X from .iso | Vicidial X.X.X-XXX Build XXXXXX-XXXX | Asterisk X.X.X | Single Server | No Digium/Sangoma Hardware | No Extra Software After Installation | Intel DG35EC | Core2Quad Q6600
