[Asterisk-Users] Queue Announcement not until after # accept call pressed

When using the callback feature on agents I notice that when the queue calls
one of the agents and the agent picks up the call they hear nothing until
pressing the # to accept the call.

Only then does my announcement play back to the agent after which the call
is immediately connected.

Is there a way to have the announcement played to the agent before they
press # to accept. I have ackcall=yes in agent.conf

Can't find anything on the wiki.

Thanks

Andrew
