Joshua Asterisk 18.14.0 with chan_alsa and Console/dsp works. This does not work in 18.18.0 with chan_console enabled. I am on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Is there a howto for the new chan_console ? how can I get this working again ? I am trying to just play audio on pulse audio.

The module itself has existed since at least Asterisk 1.8

Some progress to report: I had to run asterisk as the user logged in - actually not even that. I could not "su user -c " to that user - I had to run it as that user. Then I did a test and got audio! Great... But when I do a second test. Asterisk HANGS on ChanIsAvail() Then I thought lets SKIP that - and just let it do the Dial() - I stopped everything - got it running again. - and

So I have done through chan_console.c and searched for console_pct_lock() - every one - has a matching console_pvt_unlock() How is the deadlock occurring ? jerry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have found that I can add the restart of asterisk (killall -9 asterisk) to the h extension- BOY is that UGLY. chan_console is not a testing device - how can we get this nasty bug fixed ?

Is there a dial plan call that can "exit asterisk" or completely reload everything - killall active calls and start over ? seems the console/dummy (chan_console) is holding some resource. How do I just "exit" and start over after call came in ? Thanks Jerry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

> After a hung call, can you run core restart now from the asterisk console? Doing a "killall -9 asterisk" is the only thing that works I tried killall asterisk - does not free up the channel the asterisk "core restart now" takes like a good 20 seconds to return but does work. The issue is I cannot run it after teh Dial() as the Dial(Console/default,20,g) never returns to

I am trying to get audio to play on Pulse - so just the monitor basically. I have tried Console/dsp, Console/dmix, Console/pulse, and a couple others. The error is always the same "console_request: Console device 'dmix' not found. What is the correct "Console/XXXX" to play on pulse for UBuntu 20.04 LTS ? I can "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" no
