PSTN Access codec

Correct me if I am wrong, the default codec used for PSTN access on IOS routers is g711ulaw.

Is there any way for me to change it to g711alaw?

Depending on the router, IOS version, and gateway type it may be possible. A good reference for this starts on page VR-188 of the following command reference doc:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fvvfax_r/vrf_a.pdf

In the doc it states the following.
