Spark 2.6.3 phone plugin

Bolid · July 19, 2011, 11:39am

Hi.

I installed Openfire 3.7.0 (on debian sqeeze) + Spark 2.6.3 (on W7) and I’m trying to test the Spark’s SIP plugin with my Asterisk.

The phone plugin sucessfully logins in to my Asterisk.

When I try to make a call the line is established, i can hear the other side for a second or two, but then it start to play a 1/2 second loop of past sound over conversation which won’t stop even when a drop the call and continues to play until I close the Spark.

I tried with different codecs (ulaw, alaw, gsm…), network configuration (asterisk on same subnet, different subnet, behind NAT), even odler builds of Spark with no luck.

Asterisk works OK with other clients.

Did anyone else encounter this problem?

Hi,

I had almost the same problem. For me when I changed the Codec to allow only ULaw and GSM audio to one side became fine (i.e to the user with spark client), but for the hard phone user the voice is breaking.

I am not sure if it is a NAT issue but when I was trying to connect to an Asterisk server at a remote Office location, there was disturbance to Voice at both ends. Later I connected to another Asterisk server at our Office location audio to one side became clear. But when I go throuth the Output log, i feel like it is something related to the CODEC.

This is what I could find in OUTPUT log for Spark.

FORMATE NEU: [speex/rtp, Unknown Sample Rate, ALAW/rtp, Unknown Sample Rate, ULAW/rtp, Unknown Sample Rate, gsm/rtp, Unknown Sample Rate, ilbc/rtp, Unknown Sample Rate, g723/rtp, Unknown Sample Rate]

AD Integration, Asterisk IM, Kraken IM Gateway and Redfire and all are working fine for me. This is the only thing left for us from getting it into production. Some one please help.

@Bolid

For me, voice getting into loop could be solved by changing the codec to use only ulaw.

In SIP.CONF

disallow=all

*allow=ulaw *

Thanks,

Najim .

Hello…

Some one please help.

@Bolid - Did you find any fix for the issue?

Thanks again,

Najim

I have the same sound loop problem on both win 7 and winxp…i think the problem is in javasound

lib FMJ with javasound locator = sound loops

lib JMF with dsound locator = ok

Josh_Anders · November 1, 2011, 12:58am

Yup, same problem here on Win 7 x64.

Philippe1 · February 22, 2013, 3:46am

Same problem with Spark 2.6.3 on WinXP + Openfire 3.7 on CentOS.

Anyone managed to fix this ?

Tropicaldev,

lib FMJ with javasound locator = sound loops

lib JMF with dsound locator = ok

Does-it mean that you figured out ? How do you make this change ?

Thanks.

Philippe1 · February 22, 2013, 4:36am

Does anyone find the way to fix the problem ?

Rafael_Chagas_Pelegr · August 10, 2013, 12:02am

My solution(?): use Spark 2.5.8.

FMJ not working in Spark 2.6.X with SIP.

mark41 · March 17, 2016, 2:54pm

Same issue here… I now this is an old thread, but did anyone find a fix for this? thanks

speedy · March 17, 2016, 3:09pm

mark, can you try the latest release to see if its still an issue? 2.7.6? also, try only using audio only codecs, like ulaw/alaw to see if that helps

mark41 · March 17, 2016, 6:15pm

hello speedy, SIP plugin did not work on 2.7.6.

However using codec to ulaw worked… thanks
