You might try inserting a Wait in your menu ...e.g...

exten => s,1,Answer ; answer the channel
exten => s,n,Wait(2) ; give the channel time to initalize (2seconds)
exten => s,n,Background(some-recording) 

The 'Wait' supposedly gives the channel time to 'initalize' and get ready to 
send audio. If you start dumping audio ('Background') down a channel not 
initalized, you wont hear anything until the channel is initalized, even if 
the audio has already started.


At least, thats my non-developer-ish understanding of the sequence of events 
after having the same problem myself...
