Hi Andrew,

Just go to Preferences, Audio codecs part, and check on some codecs, and 
recall the number to see if the error persists.  See at 
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Manual#Select_the_best_quality.2Fbandwidth_ratio_for_audio 
for an old screenshot.

I suggest not to check on all of them in the same time, but only PCMU, 
PCMA, gsm, and G722, but if it does not work, try the others too.
