Type 'mpg123' at the Linux CL. (no quotes) If the version is anything other than 59r, you problem is solved. Go to the Wiki and search for Music On Hold. Do the install of version 59r ONLY as described in the docs. Cheers, Wiley -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Neil A.

So when there is an audio stream coming in asterisk can use that incoming stream as a timing source. If however silence suppression is used, then asterisk has no timing source therefore MOH doesn't work. You can get a timing source by loading ztdummy. Look up asterisk timing on the wiki The wiki is located here: www.voip-info.org That is actually incorrect. Zaptel timing is not required or used by MOH. But Asterisk's RTP implementation does use the incoming stream to time the outgoing stream. So if there are no incoming packets, no outgoing packets are sent, and you don't hear the music. This means that you can't use VAD/Silence detection on any SIP end-points with Asterisk. This affects any sounds played by Asterisk, including annoucements, ring-backs, etc., not just MOH. The strange thing about this is that when I have X-Lite configured not to send silence and dial into a queue I hear the queue announcements (every 60 seconds as I've configured) but no MOH, however when I tell it to transmit silence I hear both the announcements and MOH !!! Am I right in thinking that when X-Lite is set not to transmit silence, I shouldn't even hear the announcements ??? Neil. -- Neil A.

I can hear MOH through my SIP connection to sipgate (now that I've got ztdummy successfully installed) but with X-Lite I can always hear announcements but only MOH when it is set to transmit silence.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] (Yet another) Music on hold problemand another...
Yep. The Wiki is a work in progress so some things are great... Some... A little less great. 8) Here is a good place to go for instructions on how to correctly install version 59r. http://www.automated.it/guidetoasterisk.htm#_Toc49248760 It is covered in the first item of the Additional Installs section For future reference, documentation links at www.digium.com offer some other good starting points for info search if you have nto seen them yet.

Having an amd64 I cannot use mpg123 since it will not compile. Searching throuhgout the list I've read some people use madplay through custom in the config file. Is there a particular reason for using madplay or I could use any mp3 file reader? cheers, fc ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I currently use AudioGrabber (http://www.audiograbber.com-us.net/) with LAME and set to CBR. It's worked for me for many years... It is ALL very curious. It certainly is - I too noticed that it also complained about the sample files, supplied with Asterisk. madplay doesn't seem to complain but I think it uses a bit more CPU. ATB, Neil. -- Neil A.
