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

[David C. Troy]

Rich, et al:

I have MOH working on C7960's (and ATA 186's and Pingtel Xpressas and 
softphones) just fine.  I am using a late August CVS of asterisk and 
mpg123 version 0.59r.

The one thing that I found needed to be done on the 7960's to make MOH 
work properly was to disable comfort noise (RFC2833?) by doing 
"enable_vad: 0" in my SIPDefault.cnf file for the phones.  That feature 
seems to be incompatible with MOH.  Once I did that everything was great.

Good luck with it!

Dave
