This may sound kind of crazy and I maybe missing something. But are you placing the call on hold so you can hear the hold music. This may not be the case but you may have to place the call on hold to here the music. Also you mentioned sound, you do not need a sound card in the asterisk box to use this hold music feature. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Computer Onsite Support Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 10:51 PM To: matt.riddell@sineapps.com; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] On Hold music Please be more specific regarding symbolic link of mpg321 so I can troubleshoot it myself.

You right the sound card is NOT necessary like you just said. I mean when I dial extension 216 I should be able to hear the on-hold music but is not working on a new machine I want to put in production but it works on a PIII 500Mh that I want to retire. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com]On Behalf Of Jerry Rasmussen Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 11:04 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] On Hold music This may sound kind of crazy and I maybe missing something.

Make sure you have: 1. a timer sourece 2. mpg123 3. the caller is actualy on hold, or you are using Dial(............,m.........) 4. musiconhold.conf is setup correctly. It would also help if you give us the CLI output. Does it show anything about started/stopped music on hold?
