Configuring Wideband Codec
If Cisco Unified Communications Manager has been configured to use G.722 (G.722 is enabled by
default for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7975G) and if the far endpoint supports G.722, the call connects
by using the G.722 codec in place of G.711. This situation occurs regardless of whether the user has
enabled a wideband headset or wideband handset, but if either the headset or handset is enabled, the user
may notice greater audio sensitivity during the call. Greater sensitivity means improved audio clarity but
also means that more background noise can be heard by the far endpoint—noise such as rustling papers
or nearby conversations. Even without a wideband headset or handset, some users may prefer the
additional sensitivity of G.722. Other users may be distracted by the additional sensitivity of G.722.

wideband is supported for this Cisco Unified Communications Manager server or a specific phone:

System > Enterprise Parameters. The default value of this enterprise parameter is True, which
means that all Cisco Unified IP Phone Series that are registered to this Cisco Unified
Communications Manager advertise G.722 to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. If each
endpoint in the attempted call supports G.722 in its capabilities set, Cisco Unified Communications
Manager chooses that codec for the call.
