[Asterisk-Users] polycom soundpoint 300 sip phone and hold music

[Derrick Stensrud]

This is in reply to my own message, just thought I would answer it so 
that if anyone else was having the same issue they could fix it. 

Answer:   I upgraded to the newest version of Asterisk, recompile, 
install, and now I can press the hold button on the phones and hear the 
music.  This is what one entry in my sip.conf looks like, I am using ulaw.

;;;These are concerning Polycom soundpoint phones.  Be sure to have 
newest boot rom and sip ;;;version installed on phones.

/etc/asterisk/sip.conf (one entry listed with general info).

alaw!
progressinband=no              ; Polycom phones don't work properly with

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] polycom soundpoint 300 sip phone and hold music

I have an extension setup in my extensions.conf for hold music.  ext. 600.

If I pick up a phone (polycom soundpoint 300 sip) and dial extension 600 
I hear the hold music playing.  If I call another extension and pick it 
up and put the call on hold with the hold button on the phone I hear 
nothing at all.  Does anyone have any experience with these phones and 
getting the hold button to work?
