[Asterisk-Users] MOH problems

Same problem here! It is RH 7.2 with 2.4.20-20-7, but apart from that I 
also removed the link mpg123 --> mpg321, installed mpg123 and even 
created a new link in /usr/bin to /usr/local/bin/mpg123 for this. ztdummy 
is also up (Demo, Calling & MeetMe work fine).

Still: When I call my Asterisk box (which has a fixed IP and is located 
within a university network) using X-Lite I get "choppy sound" to say the 
least. In fact I can hear only the first half second of what I am 
supposed to hear followed by permanent silence. Note that this * box has 
no telephony hardware at all.

Any clues or suggestions what else to try? There is no hardware in 
between that could be responsible for silence suppression, but maybe 
there is a paramter in Asterisk that I can tune? I tried to use the 
"loud" MOH class instead, but it didn't make any difference. :-(

Cheers, Philipp
