I'm trying to setup a primitive announcement-paging system in my house using the line-out from my * box to a cheap amplifier that runs to speakers on our first and second floors from the basement. I have a extension that connects to Console, and console is set to auto-pickup. I'm using alsa drivers. This all works great, except for one thing. I want to play a tone over the console after the console picks up. What i'm doing right now is calling Playback after the Dial. However, No playback sound or background sound is being heard over the console speakers or are any error messages appearing in the command line. The extensions.conf entry looks like this: [access-internal] include => parkedcalls exten => 31,1,Dial(SIP/line1,30,t) exten => 31,2,Voicemail(u1) exten => 32,1,Dial(SIP/line2,30,t) exten => 32,2,Voicemail(u1) exten => 33,1,Dial(SIP/grand,30,t) exten => 33,2,Voicemail(u1) exten => 310,1,Dial(Console/dsp) ;; intercom exten => 310,2,Playback(tt-weasels) Thanks to anybody who can help!
