is silk 8 actually provided / installed on latest image??

[guy]

Where is the SILK codec enabled in FreePBX?
raspberry asterisk faq suggests..
in FreePBX open Settings – Asterisk SIP Settings, scroll down to Other SIP Settings, and enter

allow = silk8

ive done this - and it does not work.
ive checked in modules ... /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/

all the usual codec.so are there listed - but no codec_silk.so

i suspect the http://www.raspberry-asterisk.org/faq/#silk
is outdated .

)
ive tried this.. ( found on google)

I've compiled the codec, you can download it here:

http://repo.raspbx.org/download/codec_silk.so

Copy this file to /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/

Then add these definitions at the bottom of /etc/asterisk/codecs.conf

[silk8]
type=silk
samprate=8000
fec=true
packetloss_percentage=10
maxbitrate=20000
dtx=false

[silk12]
type=silk
samprate=12000
fec=true
packetloss_percentage=10
maxbitrate=25000
dtx=false

[silk16]
type=silk
samprate=16000
fec=true
packetloss_percentage=10
maxbitrate=30000
dtx=false

[silk24]
type=silk
samprate=24000
fec=true
packetloss_percentage=10
maxbitrate=40000
dtx=false
Restart Asterisk:

amportal restart
In FreePBX, open Asterisk SIP Settings, locate the field Other SIP Settings and add

allow = silk8
Allow other bandwidths accordingly if you want them.

Please test the codec and let us know if it works for you.

/etc/asterisk/codecs.conf,,,,,, THERE IS NO ASTERISK/CODECS.CONF FILE IN RASPBX

so this didnt work.

anyone know how to get silk working?

opus would be even better ..... it seems to me raspbx doesnt offer much in the way of useful codecs for a 3g/ crappy internet connection.

opus would be toooooo much to ask for ,,, but silk8 ?

The silk codec is unfortunately no longer available with Asterisk 13, it only shipped with Asterisk 11 on older images.
