[Asterisk-Users] Music On Hold - not working for me...

Hi all,

I'm trying to make some simple MOH (Music On Hold) working. So far I've failed
miserably - so I turn here for help.

Basically I've been using the wiki and all the sample confs I could from there
and via google.

The queue system seems to work fine with my limited setup. Just 2 IAX2 clients
where I keep Client B busy (by making it listen to mp3 via ext. 777) but logged
into the queue. Client A then calls the queue (tried both ext. 7320 and 6320)
and the announcements are fine ("you are next in line" etc.). When I make
Client B not busy - it starts ringing like it should on the queue. But I never
hear the MOH on Client A.

Also - calling 777 does play the mp3 fine - like it should - looped :)

Speaking of 777, I also did: chmod 755 /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/*

It's not really stopping me from rolling out this system - but it would be very
nice to have. Any help/pointers appriciated.

Thanks!
