LiveVoip Operations Staff ---- DTMF - Ringback Issues Currently, Asterisk is using the timing of the input stream to reproduce the output stream. This means that when no RTP streams are being sent from the peer Endpoint Gateway, Asterisk is unable to generate audio. This approach or limitation leads to "one way speech" conditions. Plus - Some devices don't generate audio until the answer supervision is received from the called. For all these scenarios, no ringback can be presented to the calling party. In cases where the endpoints are using silence compression, the audio from asterisk is chopped. Its fine if your run Asterisk with a T-1 Card, if not then you are going to experience issues. What Can or Should be Done? To get this solved, Asterisk should obtain its clocking from an internal source in a way that an output stream can be generated without getting any RTP input. The clocking should then be taken from an internal timing mechanism that keeps track of the synchronization. The solution should not require T1 connectivity [IE: no TDM hardware]. Such T1 connectivity would severely limit traffic on the LiveVoip Global SIP network via IP. Developers should work to solve the no alerting scenario's [when peer is set in RCV only mode] and all issues related to the use of silence compression. A configuration option should exist to choose the timing method for customers that want to use Asterisk in calling card applications or any application where no T-1 cards will ever be required. Status: LiveVoip engineers have developed a workaround for our internal switch network. This will be tested and could take up to 14 days to install in every LiveVoip Network Node location.
