[Asterisk-Users] MusicOnHold with no sound card?

[Dana Olson]

I've been reading the wiki and mailing list archives that come up in
Google searches, and so far I haven't been able to find out how to do
this.

In my Asterisk console, when I dial an extension that is supposed to
play MusicOnHold, I get this message:

-- Executing MusicOnHold("SIP/8001-e0f0", "default") in new stack
Jan 28 14:22:10 WARNING[1927]: res_musiconhold.c:354 moh0_exec: Unable
to start music on hold (class 'default') on channel SIP/8001-e0f0

IVR works, and voicemail works, it's only MusicOnHold that doesn't.
I do have Zaptel hardware installed and functional.
I am using Asterisk 1.0.5.

In my searches, I've found that it's possibly due to not having a
sound card in the system. Do I require a sound card, or is there an
alternate way around?

Thanks in advance.
