    How exactly did you disabled SIP ALG? Did you disabled or removed SIP session helpers as well?

    Hi ​@ethonkent ,

    Use sniffer packet captures and logs to identify dropped packets or delays. If any DOS policy configured try to set status monitor and check the call status. 

    Refer this below article provides a list of resources that can be used to configure and troubleshoot VoIP on FortiGate.

    Hello ​@ethonkent ,

    Disabling SIP-ALG is not the first Troubleshooting action to take.

     

    Is the caller/User Agent registered to a PBX/Proxy?

    Please conduct a packet capture on the FGT and check the session stats for SIP.

    diag sys sip-proxy stats
    diag sys sip-proxy stats clear
    (call)
    diag sys sip-proxy stats
    >> check what is blocked

    In the collected capture, review the SDP and RTP packets as per the below article,
