Dear Matt,

Can You take a look for this?

RTP debugging is not my area of expertise. Using most mainstream VOIP providers on a network with a good firewall I never run into these kinds of issues.

This is caused by your provider requesting an audio codec that your asterisk installation is unable to support. This is either caused by lack of licenses for the codec or because Asterisk just does not have it implemented. Contact your provider and find out which audio codec they support and make sure you have only those codecs allowed in your sip.conf file.

As for the comfort noise issue check if your provider can disable this on your account. If not it should not cause an issue, but it is better to have it off if possible.
