Before you try using tts-ping.agi try festival to make sure it works.
Try something like:
exten => 1234,1,Festival("Testing testing 123")
to make sure that festival works.

If Festival works by itself then there must be a problem with tts-ping.agi
on your system.  Make sure you have the Net::Ping::External module
installed and confirm that the user running asterisk has access to run
ping.
