Information on Audio Codecs
X-lite has various codecs implemented. From the User’s Guide for X-Lite and X-PRO (p.34) the following can be said: "When two VoIP systems are establishing a call, they negotiate an audio compression codec they are going to use. Which audio compression codec to choose depends on many factors: which audio compression codecs are installed on both systems, bandwidth limitations, desired sound quality, etc. During the negotiation, X-Lite/X-PRO offers to the remote system the first audio compression codec from the list. If the remote system rejects the audio compression codec, XLite/X-PRO offers the next one from top to bottom until they both accept the audio compression codec."
Also there that the X-Lite/X-Pro versions support 6 different audio compression codecs, G.711A and G.711U being the codecs with the best sound quality but with low voice compression.
