[asterisk-users] No music on hold?

Hi all,

 

I've got Asterisk 1.2.10 up and running on Debian using the back ports.
I noticed that it didn't come with mpg123 or depend on it and I believe
I read somewhere that asterisk now handles it's own mp3 playback?  Is
this true?  If so I must have a problem, because I hear no music when
putting someone on hold.  When looking at the console when putting
someone on hold, I see the following:

 

    -- Started music on hold, class 'default', on channel
'IAX2/voicepulse01-3'

    -- Stopped music on hold on IAX2/voicepulse01-3

 

It says music starts and then it instantly stops.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Phil

RE: [asterisk-users] No music on hold?

I had this same problem.  I also read that mpg123 was not required, but it
actually is if you wish to use mp3 files.  I just decided to go with RAW files
because I had problems converting some mp3's to the appropriate bit rate.

Debian does not include the default MoH files that come with Debian for
legal reasons. Get some sound files in the moh directory, basically, and
use the naitve moh.

Grab
http://updates.xorcom.com/rapid/pool/main/f/freepbx/asterisk-sounds-moh-freepbx_2.1.3.dfsg-1.2902_all.deb
or an equivalent.

Do you have asterisk-addons installed? That could be the issue.

I installed the asterisk-addons from source and installed them.  It
looks like it copied format_mp3.so but I'm not sure if 1.2.14 addons are
compatible with asterisk 1.2.10.  Also I unpacked the asterisk source
for the 3 MOH .mp3's and copied them to the appropriate location.  Still
MOH is not working.   Any other ideas?
 
Thanks again,
Phil

No, I didn't have m added.  Should I have it added?  I know I've ran
Asterisk with mp3123 in the past and music worked ok.  It seems when I
hit the hold button on the phones, it does trigger the message saying
music on hold is starting but it INSTANTLY stops.  I wish it gave some
details as to WHY it stops suddenly!  This is driving me nuts.

Phil, did you add letter 'm' to your dial options??
exten => _XXX,1,Dial(SIP/XXX,60,m)

[asterisk-users] No music on hold?

I'm totally at a loss here.  I can't get music on hold when placing
someone on hold or when dialing an internal extension.  When I dial an
internal extension I hear ringing yet on my phone it shows little
musical notes like it thinks it's hearing music.  What to do! :-)

OK, asterisk just finished compiling and my MOH is working correctly.  I

have also verified that you do *not* have to have "m" in the Dial 
command in order for MOH to play when placed on hold.

Note that I have a command in the initial context of my dialplan that 
set music on hold:

exten=>s,1,SetMusicOnHold(default)
