I have used G729 and it sounds almost as good as G711U. The problem is the way Asterisk uses it. It does not sound robotic and it's not suppose to sound that way. Most Carriers want the calls to be in g711u so thats why I use G711u otherwise I want to save money on bandwidth. G729 on Asterisk adds latency. this could be one of your problems. Also you will not get music on hold to play well with G729.

I installed G729 from Diguim and I was expecting the

missing something?


It sounded more or less the same to me, perhaps with GSM being a little more human (I can easily listen to music on hold with GSM).


I am interested in G729 because the internet in my
country is very expensive and I want to save every bit
possible. I want to use G729 because it takes less
bandwidth for each additional call between two IAX
servers than other codecs.


Make sure you use IAX2 trunking then. It can give you very large bandwidth savings when you have multiple audio streams between two servers since the UDP overhead is not repeated for every call.
