[Asterisk-Users] Very odd musiconhold

[Matthew Keen]

This was my relpy to a similar problem that myself and another person on 
this thread has!
It's to do with the fact most systems come with mpg321 not mpg123 ;)
Follow below to fix this problem :)

-----

My solution to this (as the debian package appears to actually download 
mpg321 (instead of mpg123) when you install *, was to download mpg123 
from the original website and compile/install it myself.

http://www.mpg123.de/
mpg123 0.59r is the version im now running (just copied the executable 
over mpg123 and mpg321 and restarted asterisk (and killed dead looking 
mpg321 processes) started up astersik, caleld myself and shoved myself 
on hold, and VOILA, music on hold is working normally and not running 
'really' slow....

Hope this helps!

Hi,

I have * 1.0.0. Everything works well except moh.

I followed the instruction in
http://voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+config+musiconhold.conf. I use the
default mp3 from *.

The problem is that the music is really slow. Seems like it didn't get the
right rate to play.

Any one having this problem too?

Thanks,
