The port doesn't matter. Just so long as it's open and forwarded on your router, it should work fine. The default for SIP communications in general is port 5060 I think, but your router (or even your internet service provider) may block this port, so you'll need to use an alternative one that is open. But yeah, it doesn't matter at all (in fact I have my Express Talk set to use SIP port 78 on this computer and it works fine.
Let me know if you solved the audio problem after the port change.
