One-Way Audio in FreeSWITCH / FusionPBX? It’s Usually Not “Just a Network Issue.”

Recently, I worked on a FusionPBX + FreeSWITCH call connectivity issue involving browser-based WebRTC extensions where one side of the call could hear audio.

Recently, I worked on a FusionPBX + FreeSWITCH call connectivity issue involving browser-based WebRTC extensions where one side of the call could hear audio while the other side could not.

These problems can be challenging because the SIP signaling may look perfectly healthy while the actual RTP/media path is failing.

🔍 My troubleshooting approach includes:

✅ SIP signaling & SDP analysis

✅ RTP media flow verification

✅ NAT / STUN / TURN configuration

✅ FreeSWITCH Sofia profiles

✅ WebRTC & DTLS-SRTP

✅ ICE candidate analysis

✅ AWS EC2 networking & security groups

✅ Chrome webrtc-internals diagnostics

✅ One-way / no-audio troubleshooting

✅ Browser ↔ SIP ↔ PSTN media-path analysis

The key is to identify where the audio actually stops rather than repeatedly changing random SIP/NAT settings.

If you're running FusionPBX, FreeSWITCH, Asterisk, WebRTC, SIP, CPaaS, or

Voice AI infrastructure and experiencing:

🔸 One-way audio

🔸 No audio

🔸 Calls dropping

🔸 NAT-related issues

🔸 WebRTC connectivity problems

🔸 Poor voice quality

🔸 SIP/RTP failures

🔸 AWS VoIP connectivity issues

I can help diagnose the problem at the SIP + RTP + WebRTC + infrastructure level and work toward a production-ready solution.

Questions this article answers

Signaling can succeed while RTP, SDP, NAT, firewall or WebRTC ICE paths fail—trace where media stops, not only REGISTER/200 OK.

Often related, but also check wrong capture device, codec mismatch, DTLS-SRTP, stale contacts, and client playout bugs—not only ext-rtp-ip tweaks.

When production is down, fraud-risky, or repeats after config guessing—capture SIP/RTP, fix media paths, then harden monitoring.
