Hello List, I am an Asterisk newbie, and I got a question about Asterisk Background command's option "noanswer": What is required from the user agent, such as a SIP phone, to be able to hear the playback without Answer()? I'm asking this because when I used X-Lite, I could hear the the audio file but when I used a hardware phone (an ATA in fact) I couldn't hear it. The ATA supports G711u, which is the codec I set for the peer. Only when I change the dial plan to Answer(), then Background(file, skip)in extension.conf could I hear the audio using the ATA. Seems if the channel must be answered for it to hear it. Is there something required from the ATA to support the noanswer feature? If so, what is it? Thank you in advance. _________________________________________________________________ Take charge with a pop-up guard built on patented Microsoft® SmartScreen Technology. http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=http://hotmail.com/enca&HL=Market_MSNIS_Taglines Start enjoying all the benefits of MSN® Premium right now and get the first two months FREE*.
It should work even without answer, try putting in a wait(2) instead of the answer.

Hello List, Thank you CF for your reply, but it still doesn't work for my ATA. Is it safe to say it is the ATA's problem?
