It appears we've discovered another bug in r11.1 that causes a no-audio call path to and from J1xx phones. Users reported that they did not even hear dial tone when they picked up their handset.

However, the issue doesn't seem to affect all sites for the Server Edition in question so there must be some fairly specific factors that cause the issue to occur. A possible work around seems to be turning "Allow Direct Media Path" off for extensions experiencing the symptom.

Here's what happens. Normally when a J1xx phones places a call, the user actions from the telephone are signaled to and from the PBX via STIM messages such as this (when the speaker button was pressed):
Code

                    l: 0

The PBX immediately send a "more normal" SIP INVITE in order to establish audio:
Code
2024-05-16T12:05:53 1200634398mS SIP Tx: TLS 10.1.1.1:5061 -> 10.2.2.2:43033

                    Allow: INVITE,ACK,CANCEL,OPTIONS,BYE,INFO,REFER,NOTIFY,SUBSCRIBE,REGISTER,PUBLISH,UPDATE
                    User-Agent: IP Office 11.1.3.1.0 build 34
                    c: application/sdp
                    l: 147
                    
                    v=0
                    o=UserA 1683387182 585241425 IN IP4 10.1.1.1
                    s=Session SDP
                    c=IN IP4 10.1.1.1
                    t=0 0
                    m=audio 50170 RTP/AVP 0
                    a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000

The problem that arises when the no-audio symptom starts to occur is that the PBX completely fails to send a SIP INVITE to the J1xx phone even though it sets up the rest of the call. In our case, the external leg of the call was placed over a SIP trunk and audio RTP packets were even sent to the IP address of the J1xx phone. Call timers etc. would appear on the screen of the phone. The user, however, did not hear anything because the phone had no context for the incoming audio packets and was presumably discarding them.

This issue is sporadic and tough to nail down. One would assume it can't be all that widespread or there would be screaming and anguish in the online Avaya communities!

Apparently a critical patch was published on Apr 30, 2024 to address this issue: https://support.avaya.com/kb/index?page=content&id=SOLN378681

I've received word that the Critical Patch did NOT solve the audio issues at another site facing this bug.

I'm only aware of one other site that tried the CP and they reported that it did not resolve the problem. We are going to R12 at another site with this issue in a week or so and will have some data in the days following that upgrade as to whether or not the issue is resolved.
