[Asterisk-Users] Does * machine need a sound board for MOH?

[Rich Adamson]

Thanks John, but the question is not regarding the server. MOH is 'not'
working with the C7960's. If you wouldn't mind, read through the remainder
of the stuff below. Everything seems to suggest it should be working, but
the question was oriented around the error message "sound device: Resource 
temporarily unavailable" (which obviously pertains to the server, and I
don't care about the server).  Would the server's sound device issue be
impacting the inability of the C7960's to hear MOH?
