No sip codec selection of "disallowed" or "allowed" in extension page config works

Freepbx distro with Freepbx 12 and asterisk 12 with all updates.

Under Settings/Asterisk Sip Settings I have ulaw and gsm as the only allowed codecs.

When I enter disallowed=all and allowed=ulaw in the extension configuration the eyebeam softphone I am using will register but not make calls because of codec errors. When I have disallowed= and allowed= left blank the softphone extension works perfectly. (Softphone codec allowed is ulaw only.)

Note the error messages below that result when disallow=all allow=ulaw is the setting on the extension configuration page. No calls are possible with this config.

Should it matter if your Settings/Asterisk Sip Settings and extension config make the same disallow and allow settings?

There is an error in your problem statement. Either you haven’t enabled ulaw in sip.conf (or cancelled it by putting disallow=all after it), or the phone is not configured to use mu-law.

Your debug level isn’t high enough to see what is actually being offered or what you are actually prepared to accept.

Thanks for the reply.

Your reply is interesting because I never edited the sip.conf personally. Any changes to sip.conf would be made by Freepbx from the entries I made on the Settings/Asterisk Sip Settings or the Applications/Extensions page. Somehow Freepbx is causing the conflict to occur.

If you want more info from me, I will be happy to provide it.
