Been a while since I tried it, but I'm fairly sure the BEST method is Answer() because otherwise you're just using Playback(silence/1) to do the same thing, why bother? ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Another solution that works for me is to add "Playback(silence/1)" just before whatever you are about to do. Something about the playback command opens the channel up. -Brent Sherwood McGowan wrote: Alan Lord wrote: Sherwood McGowan wrote: Hrm...I have encountered this before and sometimes doing an explicit Answer() then a Wait(2), then calling the service can help.

Anyway instead of doing a Wait(), i used a Anwser() + Playback(silence/1) to get around this kind of thing. Since it's most probably problem while decoding first bunch of audio sample, using Wait() won't help. -- Benoit Plessis +33 6 77 42 78 32 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +33 4 67 28 06 96 ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

We had the same problem with a number of SNOM phones. After we did an update to the current firmware version, we heard the beginning of the messages, too.

[asterisk-users] Not hearing first prompts
When I connect to various asterisk services such as VoicemailMain(), MeetMe() as examples, I do not get to hear the first greeting messages. I've tried adding a Wait(1) before or after the application but this seems to have no effect. Is there another setting/parameter I can play with to delay the start of the playback of these messages?
