Hello,

I am trying to use the G729 codec, from my device to the provider side. No need for the Asterisk
to transcode something. its working well, sip show channels its showing g729

But I am missing the message before I am getting the ring tone, e.g your balance
is: bla, bla, bla....

How can I fix this? By using alaw/ulaw I will get this message.

The prompts need to be in g729 format as well.

Thanks Joe, does it mean I have to record the voice prompts?

You are right, thanks. Is there any tool available to convert it easy?

Hi

Check NCH wavepad, you may have to buy a license.

Last questions in which folder are the a2billing sound files? I know the Asterisk
files are in var/lib//Asterisk/sounds

I will share the files here after the convertion is done.

Cheers

I bought some g729 licence from Digium, which solved my problem.
