[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Call Recording and SIP canreinvite

[Noah Silverman]

I have a related issue.

I have everything set up correctly so that I CAN use live recording  
(Press *1 to start and stop recording.)
When I press *1, the console indicates "user pressed *1 to start  
recording."  I also hear the "beep" and an audio file is created.   
The problem is that the audio file IS NOTHING BUT SILENCE.  It is the  
correct length, but only contains silence.

Any ideas???
