[Asterisk-Users] MusicOnHold does not play

[Stephen Bosch]

Hello:

Forgive me if this is documented somewhere. I've been on
www.voip-info.org and the Asterisk website and done no end of searches.

Music on hold stops without playing any sound whatsoever. Here is
Asterisk output:

> Asterisk Ready.
> *CLI>     -- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/4-1'
> Nov 10 01:28:45 NOTICE[1862]: chan_zap.c:6031 ss_thread: Got event 2 (Ring/Answered)...
>     -- Executing Answer("Zap/4-1", "") in new stack
>     -- Executing Wait("Zap/4-1", "2") in new stack
>     -- Executing MusicOnHold("Zap/4-1", "random") in new stack
>     -- Started music on hold, class 'random', on channel 'Zap/4-1'
>     -- Stopped music on hold on Zap/4-1

The caller hears nothing.

Here is my musiconhold.conf:

> [random]
> mode=quietmp3
> directory=/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3
> random=yes

Here is my dialplan:

> [globals]
> 
> [default]
> exten => s,1,Answer()
> exten => s,2,Wait,2
> exten => s,3,MusicOnHold(random)

Here's what's in /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3:

> asterisk ~ # ls /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/*
> /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/fpm-calm-river.mp3
> /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/fpm-sunshine.mp3
> /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/fpm-world-mix.mp3

What am I doing wrong?

(I wish there were better documentation of musiconhold.conf)

Thanks,
