You will probably have to adjust the microphone volume with the operating system. I must say Twinkle is also excellent, although I haven't had your problem.
JITSI SIP CLIENT SERIES
Ekiga 2 series worked though, but the 3 series not anymore.ĭzso Bacsi, try Jitsi. I use SIP over a VPN connection and rather surprisingly big names like Ekiga failed to work in these conditions. I tested these (seems to be the most proeminent) because i needed a program that has good SIP support. The above statements are the result of me looking for SIP applications. Other than that + its weird interface it seems to do the job quite well. Twinkle - it is a KDE app, looks like crap in GTK (i use Xfce). It has some weird stuff in it, like some custom file transfer that is probably used in the Apple universe (Blink is primarily built for apple).Ĩ. Blink - works well it seems, but this also uses CPU cycles when idle (it seems it keeps audio streams open even it shouldnt). Again, it would be a good contender but Jitsi has more stuff packed in (Yahoo support/file transfer, zrtp etc).ħ. Other than that, it works very well with SIP and Google Talk. It seems that it launches an entire SIP server (maybe not all but it has quite some threads), and uses constantly CPU cycles even if idle (the latest 4.1 version seems to use less). The latest version has SIP routing issues.Ħ. Pity, it showed promise to be something like Jitsi.
Ekiga - Good if you are on the same LAN with the server, but it doesnt really work well in other circumstances (through VPN for example).ĥ. The accounts are very configurable, you can specify custom gateways/sip servers and whatnot for every one of them, and it has IAX support (i believe it is the only one here).Ĥ. Sflphone - very good also, the problem is that doesnt have video support. I recommend this if you look for only a SIP client.ģ. It is a robust piece of software, it is also cross platform. Very nice to use over ssh (i use it for baby monitoring on a Dell Mini laptop). It has another very good addition - a text-mode client (linphonec) that works from terminal. It is very stable, has very good SIP routing, worked for me in every scenario. Linphone: This would be my choice of SIP client if i hadnt use Jitsi for everything.
Also you dont have any control over codecs.Ģ.
JITSI SIP CLIENT INSTALL
It has tons of dependencies and whatnot, it isnt clear for a casual user what he/she needs to install to enable feature x.
Not o mention you cant add SIP users to the roster. Empathy: has crap SIP routing - it doesnt work if you have the SIP server through VPN connections etc. It is very actively developed (the nightly builds are very freqvently updated) - just in now there is native pulseaudio support.īTW besides SIP it supports Google/XMPP(Jabber) voice/video, it works well with Google Talk (if both sides use Jitsi, you'lll get end-to-end supplementary encryption as bonus, meaning the google servers can "hear/see" only already encrypted audio/video streams).ġ. I use it for all my messenger needs, i have google talk/sip/yahoo/facebook accounts in it.Īnother thing is that it has everything packed in, it doesnt depend on any other system-level codecs or anything. It has absolute codec control, you can enable/disable/reorder them as you wish, it has google contacts support (if you use google talk account) and whatnot. It also has some very nice codecs like Silk (this is the base of Skype's codec) that uses minimal bandwidth with very good sound quality. It works very well, it has tons of features including peer-to-peer encryption and whatnot.
