[asterisk-users] Looking for SIP loud ringer

[Brent Vrieze]

If you know anyone with electronic experience you could take the speaker 
output from a SIP phone either by connecting to the internal wires or if 
there is a headset jack to there. Run that speaker output into an 
amplifier to some speakers. This would amplify all speaker output so 
going to speaker phone on that phone would not work but you said the 
room was noisy so going speaker phone would not work anyway.

So where do I get an amplifier speaker system? Your local computer store 
with a set of standard computer speakers. I have a Grandstream Budgetone 
200 that has a headset jack on the back. I am not sure if ringing comes 
out the ear piece on a head set but if it does just make an adapter from 
the 1/8" speaker jack to the smaller one on the back of the phone, plug 
in the computer speakers and see what happens. It would require an extra 
phone in that room on the same ring group as the other line but it 
should work and you could make it a peer ( I think I got that right 
incoming calls only ) so no one could call out on it.
