I am trying to music on hold but I am having all sorts of problems with it.
I am running RH9 and the latest version of Asterisk as of yesterday.
Here is what I did to test it:
1. I manually deleted the mpg123 softlink to mpg321.
2. I downloaded mpg123-0.59r-1.n0i.src.rpm, compiled and installed the
the archive and loaded ztdummy.o module.
3. I threw a couple extra files in the mohmp3 directory along with the
sample-hold.mp3
file.
4. I created a test number that did an: Answer and then a MusicOnHold
5. I dialed the number with an ATA-186 and a Pingtel phone.
The first file to play was the sample-hold but every few seconds it
would drop out anywhere
from seconds to indefinately. The other MP3 files played the same way.
Anybody seen this problem?

It is RH 7.2 with 2.4.20-20-7, but apart from that I also removed the link mpg123 --> mpg321, installed mpg123 and even created a new link in /usr/bin to /usr/local/bin/mpg123 for this. ztdummy is also up (Demo, Calling & MeetMe work fine). Still: When I call my Asterisk box (which has a fixed IP and is located within a university network) using X-Lite I get "choppy sound" to say the least. In fact I can hear only the first half second of what I am supposed to hear followed by permanent silence. Note that this * box has no telephony hardware at all. Any clues or suggestions what else to try? There is no hardware in between that could be responsible for silence suppression, but maybe there is a paramter in Asterisk that I can tune? I tried to use the "loud" MOH class instead, but it didn't make any difference. :-( Cheers, Philipp
For anyone running RH9 with a recent version of *, if you are using music on hold I would be interested in what version you installed or compiled. The version described below is not working properly and leaves core files in the mohmp3 directory for me. :( Clif Jones wrote:> I am trying to music on hold but I am having all sorts of problems > with it. > I am running RH9 and the latest version of Asterisk as of yesterday. > Here is what I did to test it: > 1.
