[asterisk-users] DTMF problems while greeting is playing (Background())

[bilal ghayyad]

Hi Eric;

I decreased the gain (although I was need to increase
it) and the problem somehow resolved partially (much
more better), but now I have a problem in the voice
volume, it is weak. If I increased the volume, then
the duplicatin in the DTMF for the first entered digit
(specifically) will appear.

Any help how can we resolve this?
Regards
Bilal


---------------------
Another note, after looking at the source code, it
seems as though
WaitExten() and Read() use ast_waitfordigit() where
Background uses
ast_waitstream().

Apparently these 2 functions must behave differently.
