[asterisk-users] Desperately need help with Asterisk setup

[James Texter III]

Try putting in a wait after you answer.  It's possible the message is  
playing before the RTP is setup.  I would change your dialplan to be

exten => 333,1,Answer()
exten => 333,n,Wait(1)
exten => 333,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => 333,n,Hangup()

HTH,

James
