Here you can adjust the available audio codecs. By default, you should select g.722 which is wideband / HD Voice.
Most calls will use g.711 aLaw or g.711 uLaw so make sure these are enabled. If you are sitting on a low-bandwidth link, or having audio quality issues, select g.729 and leave the rest disabled.
