Hello, I just can't seem to get the MusicOnHold function to work out ok. I' managed to get the MP3Player app to work out fine, but when I run the MusicOnHold all i get is siliece. I can see that Asterisk executes mpg123 properly (I think) #ps axuww|grep mp gk 4383 0.0 0.4 3736 552 pts/4 S 15:06 0:00 /usr/bin/mpg123 -q -s --mono -r 8000 -b 2048 -f 8192 sample-hold.mp3

I have read every thread, I have Redhat 9, Asterisk 1.0.6, 2 T1 lines connected via TE405P. Everything works great, except MOH. I added an exten with MusicOnHold(30), and it plays just fine.

I have set musiconhold(default) everywhere, removed it from everywhere,

I have searching the forums here on how to get Music On Hold working and I have been able to get * to accept a command for MusicOnHold and for Meetme after loading the ztdummy module. I used the default config for /etc/zaptel.conf since I saw no guidance on this. My problem now is that when I activate MusicOnHold, the sample music file sounds very slow and distorted.

Hello everyone, I am having a bit of problem getting MusicOnhold to play. I am running Asterisk 1.4 with MPG123 0.59 installed. And here's what i see in the debugging window of asterisk: -- Started music on hold, class 'default', on channel 'SIP/x123-082043d0' -- Stopped music on hold on SIP/x123-082043d0 Any idea why it is not playing the file at all? thanks

Thanks Joshua and everyone, Joshua's solution seems a lot simpler and works well. Only one thing now - The reason I named the classes as I did, was so that I could select the class based on callerID plus extension. Unless I've misread it, I'm limited to 9 switchable classes via the "digit=#" option, is that correct? Or is there a clever hack around this? extensions.conf

Does anybody have a good source for hold music? I can see a number of companies on the web that sell royalty-free MOH, but they don't all provide samples. The customer service desk has requested "calming, not sleeping, but calming" and "this is a high-tech company, so make it 'techie' [sic]". Thanks, --Ernest
