Hello, I'm running asterisk-1.0.6 on a centos3.4 box. I'm still in testing phase and so far everything is running smoothly. I'm now trying to play a soundfile or an mp3file using 'MP3Player', 'Playback' or the 'Background' commands, but don't get any sound. The logfile says: -- Executing BackGround("SIP/joa-9def", "tt-weasels") in new stack -- Playing 'tt-weasels' (language 'en') Are the sound drivers (alsa or oss) used for this or do I need to configure something else? thanks for any help, Bart
The most common cause for this is there being no timing source available. Do you have the zaptel drivers correctly installed and configured? You could just enable 'ztdummy' and test the system using that.

Thanks for your answer, I've compiled and loaded 'ztdummy' but still no sound. here's the relevant portion of lsmod: ztdummy 2464 0 (unused) wcusb 19552 0 (unused) zaptel 178752 0 [ztdummy wcusb] i810_audio 28824 0 (autoclean) ac97_codec 16840 0 (autoclean) [i810_audio] soundcore 6436 2 (autoclean) [i810_audio] usb-uhci 25740 0 [ztdummy] Maybe a irrelevant question but do I need alsa or oss (alsa.conf oss.conf) to play back these sound files? thanks again, Bart -----Original Message----- From: Gareth Blades [mailto:list-asterisk@linguaphone.co.uk] Sent: woensdag 23 maart 2005 13:11 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Playback of sound files but no sound The most common cause for this is there being no timing source available.

That's because someone suggested it earlier on the list. So I installed the ztdummy driver. Could you please tell me what is needed to playback sound files? thanks, Bart -----Original Message----- From: Eric Wieling aka ManxPower [mailto:eric@fnords.org] Sent: woensdag 23 maart 2005 14:46 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Playback of sound files but no sound Bart Van Daal wrote:> Thanks for your answer, > > I've compiled and loaded 'ztdummy' but still no sound. > here's the relevant portion of lsmod: > ztdummy 2464 0 (unused) > wcusb 19552 0 (unused) > zaptel 178752 0 [ztdummy wcusb] > i810_audio 28824 0 (autoclean) > ac97_codec 16840 0 (autoclean) [i810_audio] > soundcore 6436 2 (autoclean) [i810_audio] > usb-uhci 25740 0 [ztdummy] > Maybe a irrelevant question but do I need alsa or oss (alsa.conf > oss.conf) to play back these sound files?That's because you do NOT need a Zaptel timer for Playback, Background, or MoH. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Thank you for the answer, I'm using a simple sip-configuration with 3 ip phones. 2 phones are micronet equipment and the last phone is connected to a grandstream handytone-286 box. Using the micronet phones I hear sound and mp3 but it seems the grandstream is having problems with it. I can make calls with the device but hear no soundfiles. thanks again for the quick responses, Bart -----Original Message----- From: Gareth Blades [mailto:list-asterisk@linguaphone.co.uk] Sent: woensdag 23 maart 2005 15:32 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Playback of sound files but no sound On Wed, 2005-03-23 at 13:46, Eric Wieling aka ManxPower wrote:> Bart Van Daal wrote: > > Thanks for your answer, > > > > I've compiled and loaded 'ztdummy' but still no sound. > > here's the relevant portion of lsmod: > > ztdummy 2464 0 (unused) > > wcusb 19552 0 (unused) > > zaptel 178752 0 [ztdummy wcusb] > > i810_audio 28824 0 (autoclean) > > ac97_codec 16840 0 (autoclean) [i810_audio] > > soundcore 6436 2 (autoclean) [i810_audio] > > usb-uhci 25740 0 [ztdummy] > > Maybe a irrelevant question but do I need alsa or oss (alsa.conf > > oss.conf) to play back these sound files? > > That's because you do NOT need a Zaptel timer for Playback, > Background, or MoH.No but when I installed my new server I had installed zaptel but left it unconfigured and this is the exact same problem I had. By enabling ztdummy everything started working. I think because zaptel was there it tried using it for timing but as the card was not configured it caused the problem. Asterisk was complaining about not being able to find a timing source. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
