Customer gets 10 second audio then disconnects

Question
-
For some reason when this guy gets a PSTN call and he’s remote in new Orleans the call drops after roughly 10 seconds, but audio works for that 10 seconds. If he calls out it works 100% of the time. I found these packets dropping in the customers firewall and had the firewall team investigate and they said it’s not the firewall causing the packets to drop. Any ideas? We’ve tested on multiple computers and networks. Below is some of the testing scenarios.
The Lync environment is Hyper-V with a standalone mediation server. Also this company has been running strong for over a year with no issues. Although it's hard to say if this one user has ever been fully functional.
I have a wireshark I can share if someone is interested in taking a look.
I've also put in tickets with our sip trunking provider regarding this and they said they don't see any issues.
David’s remote IP address is 174.70.x.x.
DMZ IP for Audio Video Edge Services 10.101.15.72
Internal for Audio Video Edge Services 10.101.10.62

You should check you routing and firewall configuration.
You can also activate the tracing on the Lync client to see which candiates are used for the voice connection

I asked the firewall team to investigate and they claimed everything was fine configured on the firewall side. Still looks like the firewall though.
I'm looking through some client traces and see the voice candidates, but I'm not sure how that helps.
All looks good up to the point where it sends a BYE and says "Call failed to establish due to a media connectivity failure where one endpoint is internal and the other is remote".
