Introduction

Voice quality depends on:

  1. Network connection quality (jitter/delay/loss)
  2. Codecs
  3. Phones




Troubleshooting

  1. Change (soft)phone
  2. Check what codec device is using
  3. Change it to G729, retest
  4. Check network connection status using ping command from device's location to the server's location
  5. Make recording on the server with bad call, listen to it to decide which part sounds bad, localize in which part of the network problem is



Poor internet connection with G711 codec

When server is not in the same country as clients, and clients use phones/softphones without G729 support, such as eyeBeam, xLite and so on - the will get poor quality.

This is because (soft)phones will use G711 codec, which will use 80 kbps connection.

In order to fix this problem, use only GSM and G729 codecs.
