Vantact Softphone Lite Errors and Troubleshooting


Error: "undefined external error" (after Windows 10 update 1803)

Fix: Adjust microphone permissions in Windows Settings:

  • Navigate to Windows Settings => Privacy => Microphone.
  • Ensure that microphone access is allowed for the Vantact Softphone Lite app.

Error: "Unable to find default audio device"

Fix: Ensure your system has both speakers and microphones connected and configured as default audio devices. This is necessary for making calls and using RDP connections.

Error: "An invalid parameter was passed to a system function"

Fix: Grant microphone access in Kaspersky Anti-virus settings if applicable.

Error: "End of file"

Fix: Change the Transport setting from Auto to UDP in the Vantact Softphone Lite settings.

Can't make or end a call

Fixes:

  • Verify SIP account configuration: Check fields such as domain, username, password, proxy, server, login, and transport.
  • Ensure correct dialing format and number.
  • Disable SIP ALG (Application Layer Gateway) in the router settings.
  • Test with a clean installation of Vantact Softphone Lite, disabling additional features by default.
  • Try adjusting settings such as "Allow IP rewrite" and using/not using STUN server.
  • Set the source port in settings to 5060 if necessary.
  • Test calls from another computer or different internet connection to isolate the issue.
  • Review PBX configuration for NAT (Network Address Translation) support.

No sound or one-directional sound

Fix: This issue can occur due to NAT traversal problems with routers:

  • Check if your router has SIP ALG enabled and disable it.
  • Refer to your router's Knowledgebase for specific instructions on disabling SIP ALG.
