The module itself has existed since at least Asterisk 1.8

ok switching to "Console/default" does show the text --- <("<) --- Call to device 'default' on console from 'default' <2564286000> --- (>")> --- --- <("<) --- Auto-answered --- (>")> --- However I don't hear any audio.

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 ?

> 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

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:

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

I have noticed that once my message speaks - the server thinks its done and HUNGUP, the endpoint STILL thinks the channel is active - the last message says "Rx: BYE" on sip show channels I tried ADDING to Dial() ,20,g and then had a Hangup after teh dial. Its NOT getting there to hangup. Jerry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

>Using system() you could issue a asterisk -rx 'core restart now' So I tried this exten => s,1,Playback(beep) exten => s,n,Dial(Console/default,20,g) exten => s,n,Hangup exten => s,n,System(asterisk -rx 'core restart now') But it does not continue. Last thing I see is "Exited non zero" so its not doing the hangup or the system. jerry --------------

I am still using chan_console. I compiled 18.18.0 and chan_console is not built. I am using ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS make menuselect says XXX chan_consoel and it needs "portaudio" What do I do next ? Also menuconfig is saying XXX on Also - what alsa library is needed ? Thanks jerry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
