What is a G722 file?
A G722 file is an audio file saved using the G.722 codec, a standard codec that provides 7 kHz wideband audio at 48, 56, and 64 kbit/s. It typically contains high-quality spoken audio. G722 files were used and created by Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications such as Asterisk and Incredible PBX, before being superseded by files saved using newer codecs.

It allowed VoIP application providers and radio broadcasters to incorporate compressed, high-definition audio into their applications and broadcasts.
G.722 has since been improved upon and replaced by new standards, including G.722.1 and G.722.2.

Instead, they were created using entirely different compression technologies.
