Having played with the music on hold settings for 2 days now trying to get
it to work I am stumped and need help from the group.

Have a standard * installation with FXO cards and two working SIP phones
(x-lite). I am able to make TDM->SIP, SIP->TDM, and SIP->SIP calls with no
problem. When ever I place a call on hold (or any other time MOH should be
played) I hear nothing but silence. Have checked settings in
musiconhold.conf and read wiki on subject to no avail. Have implemented a
test number in extensions.conf as follows...

exten => 6601,1,Answer
exten => 6601,2,WaitMusicOnHold(30)

Console displays the following...

    -- Executing Answer("SIP/mmurdock-81b4", "") in new stack
    -- Executing WaitMusicOnHold("SIP/mmurdock-81b4", "30") in new stack
    -- Started music on hold, class 'default', on SIP/mmurdock-81b4
    -- Stopped music on hold on SIP/mmurdock-81b4

Hear nothing but silence...

musiconhold.conf has following...

[classes]
default => mp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3


Where do I look next?
