Tip's 'n Tricks

  • When in conversation, press CTRL-F9 to see
    X-lite debug-screen
    some debug-information about the network-speed and codecs used.
  • If the connection fails after a few (tens of) seconds, check if both sides use the same codecs and disable all other codecs
  • If the connection still fails after a period of time, try un-checking Send SIP keep-alives on the advanced section of your SIP account.
  • If the other party cannot (or can hardly) hear you, check the recording-mixer settings of the mic to see if some other program may have touched the mixer-settings.
