[Asterisk-Users] help on MOH config, pretty close?

[Rich Adamson]

Trying to test the music on hold function and can't seem to get it to work.
If anyone has it running, could you give me a clue? (I have googled and
found lots of questions, but no real suggestions.)

I downloaded and installed the mpg123 package. From the RH9 console I can
start the executable and hear the music via the speakers. The executable
is located in /usr/bin. (That works!)

I set the following line in musiconhold.conf file:
  default => mp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/
and when I do a ps ax |grep mpg123 I get:
  15798 pts/0    S      0:00 /usr/bin/mpg123 -q -s --mono -r 8000 -b 2048 For-You.mp3
If I stop asterisk, the above line disappears. (That works!)

For lab work, the sip.conf has:
 allow=ulaw
only.

In the zapata.conf file I have:
  musiconhold=default 

On asterisk startup, the console window shows:
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/musiconhold.conf': Found
  WARNING[1074504864]: File res_musiconhold.c, Line 506 (moh_register): Unable to
  open pseudo channel for timing...  Sound may be choppy.
  == Registered application 'MusicOnHold'
  == Registered application 'WaitMusicOnHold'
  == Registered application 'SetMusicOnHold'
which looks like its okay.

The the asterisk command line, I see:
    -- Called 3002
    -- SIP/3002-3ed3 is ringing
    -- SIP/3002-3ed3 is ringing
    -- SIP/3002-3ed3 answered SIP/3000-0e7b
    -- Attempting native bridge of SIP/3000-0e7b and SIP/3002-3ed3
    -- Started music on hold, class 'default', on SIP/3002-3ed3
but nothing is heard on either C7960's or Snom 200.

I have not modified anything in sip.conf or extensions.conf; am I suppose to?

What am I missing????
