[Asterisk-Users] Music On Hold - not working for me...

Hi all,

I'm trying to make some simple MOH (Music On Hold) working. So far I've
failed
miserably - so I turn here for help.

Basically I've been using the wiki and all the sample confs I could from
there
and via google.

The queue system seems to work fine with my limited setup. Just 2 IAX2 clients
where I keep Client B busy (by making it listen to mp3 via ext. 777) but logged
into the queue. Client A then calls the queue (tried both ext. 7320 and 6320)
and the announcements are fine ("you are next in line" etc.). When I
make
Client B not busy - it starts ringing like it should on the queue. But I never
hear the MOH on Client A.

Also - calling 777 does play the mp3 fine - like it should - looped :)

Speaking of 777, I also did: chmod 755 /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/*

It's not really stopping me from rolling out this system - but it would be
very
nice to have. Any help/pointers appriciated.

Thanks!

[Asterisk-Users] Music On Hold - not working for me...

Have you tried to run * in debug mode? I have the same problem and I
found that if I run * in debug (asterisk -vvvvvgcd) mode MOH works. I
have no idea why but that is the only way I can get MOH to work for me. 


Good luck and please report back to the list if you find a fix!
