asterisk users - Mar 2006 - Newbie needs audio help

My first Asterisk install: Debian sarge with the 2.6 kernel, and two  
X-Lite soft-phones. I followed the online how-to documents and was  
calling between the two soft-phones and calling the demo system with  
no problems and had full audio. I then went on to configure the  
TDM400P's two FXS modules. I got into that a ways and was having some  
success, but no dial-tone when I was off the project for a week.

Back on the project today and tested baseline by calling ext. 1000  
and now I have no sound from the demo extension voice prompts or  
music on hold. I can still call and talk between the two soft-phones.

When I call Extension 1000 the console reports it is playing the  
'demo-congrats' audio:

-- Executing Goto("SIP/xlite-7fe7", "default|s|1") in new
stack
     -- Goto (default,s,1)
     -- Executing Wait("SIP/xlite-7fe7", "1") in new stack
     -- Executing Answer("SIP/xlite-7fe7", "") in new stack
     -- Executing Set("SIP/xlite-7fe7", "TIMEOUT(digit)=5")
in new stack
     -- Digit timeout set to 5
     -- Executing Set("SIP/xlite-7fe7",
"TIMEOUT(response)=10") in
new stack
     -- Response timeout set to 10
     -- Executing BackGround("SIP/xlite-7fe7",
"demo-congrats") in
new stack
     -- Playing 'demo-congrats' (language 'en')

If I press # it reports it is playing 'demo-thanks':

   == CDR updated on SIP/xlite-776c
     -- Executing Playback("SIP/xlite-776c", "demo-thanks")
in new stack
     -- Playing 'demo-thanks' (language 'en')

I have since recreated all of the sample files and only modified  
sip.conf and extensions.conf for these two soft-phone, using the  
settings that previously worked. And I can call and talk between the  
two extensions, but no audio form the Asterisk server.

Seems I may have messed something up when working on the FXS cards,  
but I am at loss where to look next. This is now as close to base  
install as I can get with reinstalling everything. Asterisk - 
vvvvvvvvvc starts up with no errors related to audio modules.

Please let me know what you may need to see to help me with this. I  
am eager to get further into it!

Issue resolved (paid support). The TE110P and TDM400P cards were not  
fully configured causing a timing problem. Unloading the modules  
fixed the problem, then with a proper configuration of the cards all  
is working. I knew I caused the problem, but was too blind to see how  
to fix it:)

Thanks for listening and I am looking forward to loosing the newbie  
status.
