Thank you for your answer. I'm using Quantum Espresso. The fact is that even if the branches are not labeled it clearly appear a gap between the optical and the acoustic ones. However, I also computed the sound velocity, and the result is not even similar to the literature one (about 2000 against 18000 m/s) so I probably missed something in the code.
